2020 Election Thread (formerly: 2020 Presidential Candidates Thread) (Part 1)

If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Those who denounce the moral fallacy of this argument are usually accused of a germ-proof moralism which is alien to political circumstances, of being unwilling to dirty their hands.

Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.

— Hannah Arendt

A defensive tactical vote for the Dems is justifiable (although there are valid grounds to criticise this strategy, as suggested by the Arendt quote). Actually stanning that turdblossom of a party is not.

The GOP is not the problem. The Dems are not the problem. America is the problem.

Trump is the symptom, not the disease.
