I mean yeah trump is worse but the last good candidate the democrats had was Bernie, and that didn’t go well. I’ll vote blue no matter who but you gotta admit there’s been a dearth of good candidates.
The presidential election isn't the only election. And, in fact, it's not even close to the only important one. Most policy is made in legislation, the executive puts policy in motion and can direct it... but they don't create laws.
Even the actions they do take have congressional oversight. Vote for more than just President and you might actually see change.
Don’t worry I do and have been my whole adulthood.
