Now this post I thoroughly enjoyed and agree with most of it. In most cases I do not vote either, but I have been thinking about it for 2020 because the Orange and his administration seem to be more toxic than the average bear; but I am wavering back and forth as it goes against one of the guidelines I set up for myself which is "choosing the lesser evil is still choosing evil". Meaning that if I show my support to something and it turns out to be a horror show I am part of that horror show and directly responsible in my book.

Personally, I see no difference between Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, et al. in terms of what their actual actions and "policy" are. Trump is louder & more offensive, but he's dropping the same bombs, kidnapping the same people, stealing the same money, feeding the same corporations. Politics is, as always, simply a way to distract the masses from the consistent, steady march of the State towards more power & control.
If anything I'd say that Trump is better than somebody like Obama, because he's making people more uncomfortable, making them pissed off, which is the only way someone will actually work towards change.
Agree 100%
Better in opening peoples eyes maybe but not better for our planet and people. He beats the other two by miles when it comes toxicity.
Small correction not someone but the desensitised, self absorbed masses there are still people who actually work to make things better for humans, animals and the planet because they feel compassion and/or responsibility towards others . It's just genpop who is either lethargic or does not give a fuck ...
I said making people uncomfortable and/or pissed off. I would say that compassion falls into that first category. A compassionate person, seeing the suffering of others, becomes quite uncomfortable.
Just wanted to clarify that, as I think we agree on the point :-)
