      Yeah I do not understand people who take this position. When you are comparing Trump actively encouraging wrecking things to Biden who you wish was doing more to improve things, it does not even seem a choice to me.

      Do not let perfection be the enemy of the good.

          …cheering on yanks? I’m Scandinavian. We have a different problem. We’ve got plenty of parties, two of the biggest being neo-liberal (same as your democrats and republicans, no matter how much republicans want to ignore their own economic model), the next to the ones are literal nationalist bating pseudo-liberals (maybe that’s more like the republicans actually), and then we got a whole host of left wing and socialist parties that have to form coalitions all the time.

          Personally I’ve voted The Pirate Party (yarr) and also socialist… because fuck capitalism. We actually have some socialist representatives on both local and national level. So even if the two biggest parties are liberals, we still get some concessions and projects done.

          Woo! Freedom of choice. Actual representative democracy. Weird, I know.
