Ah, throw a dart and gamble against fascism is a weird hill to die on. And many people will die on that hill if Trump wins.

I promise you no progressive candidate (who are my personal preference for representation) could possibly win against Trump in this time. Centrists won’t save us via positive change, which is the real crime here.

“Wheel whoever the fuck in for all I care”

This is where democracy conflicts with what you want. A enormous number of people, large enough to tip the election, care very much who is wheeled in. Many fence sitters see anything other than the status quo as a threat. Biden represents the “safe” option to them. It sucks, but that’s the reality of why he can beat Trump and anyone younger, more progressive, or consisting of more than one “different status” have no choice.

We can’t have a choice of actual good candidates until we overturn Citizens United. At that point I’d agree with you.
