This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!

Trump bankrupted himself 6 times, he has had effectively infinite lawsuits against him, etc. He's basically the worst businessman to exist. And besides, the country is not business.

Second, not voting for the lesser evil means that evil wins. We're all tired of the political establishment but it's not going to change when the first past the post system is still here. Flat out won't.

And as a quick reminder, I may have read in between the lines wrong here, not voting under this system means that candidates will just move away from your ideology to gain more reliable votes. Which is actually why Trump became a thing -- because the racists and "not" racists are a more powerful voting base. And people like you "don't have a choice" to vote for anyone else. Instead of the other way around like it was before.
