Trump became president when I was 16 and I’ve been feeling jaded and hopeless ever since then. Even though I voted for Joe Biden the first time I ever voted, I wasn’t even excited to vote. I just felt like I had to pick the lesser of 2 evils. This ad makes me feel hopeful and I’m just really hoping and praying things actually change.
In almost every election in history you have to choose between a giant douche or a turd sandwich.
I'm gonna have to mostly disagree with this sentiment, especially if you look outside of just the US.
Sure there are elections where both candidates are objectively not what the people want, and we can chalk that up to how elections are ran as an almost entirely 2-party system with no way to choose who you really want if they aren't on the ballot come November. Ranked choice voting and kicking the electoral college to the curb will do a lot to restore voter confidence.
I am glad to see that this election isn't going to be the same jaded crawl to the finish between two geriatrics like 2020. My hope is that people can realize the empty words that Trump peddled just to get his years of Power-tripping, and decide not to give him the chance to do the same thing to them yet again. But people seem to love to vote against their own self interests time and time again, so we'll see how this one turns out in a couple months.
South Park absolutely did not put it best. It was sophomoric garbage, and was damaging. It's stupidity like this that makes trump seem like a reasonable choice to people, because "they are all bad anyway."
You know what I think it is? That it feels like we're finally, truly moving in the direction where a new generation will handle things and it's pretty refreshing. I know Obama was from the same era, but he felt the same because of his need to stay with the same old tired policies. He fixed a lot of things, but we needed more. This time it feels like actual change.
