"I have high standards, I'd rather have my clothes covered in dog shit than put on a non-Gucci article of clothing."

Politicians will always disappoint you. There will always be things left undone, done poorly, or done in a way you disagree with. Everybody needs to get used to this and learn we vote for the least bad, not the most good.

Yeah, that too.

The difference is campaigns spend over a billion dollars these days and don't even try to convince voters.

They do anything for donations to spend on fundraisers for more donations, and they just go round and round. Every revolution everyone involved skims a little.

If it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump in an election, maybe we should worry less about donations and more about votes.

In a perfect world, we should be voting for the person with the most solutions that would improve the world as well as country.

We shouldn't be voting on those who's likely going to be half-assed.

A more nuanced version of this is, if you live in a state that has 0% chance of swinging, feel free to do a protest vote. Voting for Jill Stein or write in Bernie Sanders in California or Wyoming will not change anything, on the other hand if you do funny votes in Pennsylvania or Georgia you are worse than MAGA people.

Even if you are in a Blue State, the US needs to overwhelmingly reject Trump both in electoral and popular vote.

Otherwise a Trump replacement will pop up in 4 years.
