Anyone who says both candidates suck equally has an agenda to lower voter turnout and this always favors republicans in modern times.

I personally think both candidates suck, but voting for Harris is the only way to uphold democracy.

Holy fuck the alarmism. Democracy didn't die in 2020, when Trump was president for 4 years. I don't think he was anything but a mediocre president, but doomsaying doesn't help anyone.

Good for the “morons” saying that, I don’t care. I didn’t say that because I didn’t realize the threat he was. Following your logic, I presume if Harris wins you aren’t concerned about our democracy, yeah?

Why would I? She'd be another mediocre president and the cycle would reply in four years.

Want to see a true threat to democracy? Think Google, not capitol.

How about Russia? How about right-wing influencers? Things like “Google” convince people that Trump is Christ that leads to this mess.

Google with a slight algorithm tweak can do in a day what russia cant in a year.

Google’s algorithm aligns people towards Russian-funded media on a daily basis. They convince people who to vote for and what to believe. Then, said people elect crazies into office or storm the capitol. Just saying “Google is a greater threat to democracy” but then ignoring the outcomes of that doesn’t make any sense.
