Things didn’t get better under Obama or Biden.

Sure they did. Our economy recovered during Obama's entire presidency. The numbers literally prove that. The numbers also show we were recovering from COVID better than other 1st world countries during Biden's term. Obama got affordable healthcare for millions of people who had none, myself included. He brokered the Iran Nuclear Deal. Biden got the largest infrastructure bill in our lifetimes passed. He invested money in clean energy. He got student loans forgiven for millions before the Republicans put a stop to it. At the end of his presidency he was trying to get medical debt removed from credit reports.

To say nothing got better under these presidents indicates you are clueless about politics in your own country.

Vote for the policies you actually fucking want regardless of what colour tie the person has.

This is not a winning strategy. If you voted for Jill Stein in the last election, congrats, you got NOTHING. There is no viable 3rd party in the U.S. and there won't be for a long time, if ever. If you vote solely based on your ideals, you will lose. In this country, it is essentially a guarantee that you will have to make concessions at the ballot box to get SOME of what you want. So the intelligent thing to do is vote for the person most likely to win that can achieve SOME of your demands. I'm speaking about presidential elections in regards to this. I support people who vote 3rd party in local/state elections to help build up alternative options. But if you're voting 3rd party in a federal election, all you're doing is proving that you have no idea how American politics works and helping the shittier option win.
