A silver spoon though.
The South Park episode about voting always applies. It's always the choice between a douche and a turd. But even between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, one of those choices is still objectively better.
I would not even agree the alternative choice is a turd. Were allowed to have some optimism on our potential candidates.

I feel like this is a failure on the democrat side, beating donald should be trivial.
In part, sure. But it's also a failure of the voting public - primarily by not showing up to vote. The historic trend of low voter turnout got us to where we are today since it has enabled a minoritarian party with interests contrary to the vast majority of their constituents to win elections and shape the political landscape in ways that favor them.
It's also a systemic failure since the US makes voting about as difficult as they can - but, again, that is mainly the fault of Republicans who have crusaded for years to repress the votes of minorities, women, and basically anyone who isn't old and white.
It's easy to blame the dems because they should have defended better, backed more pro-worker policies, etc. But if all eligible voters voted, basically no Republicans would ever win elections in this country. Maybe then we could have some actual progress attacking dems from the left.

That “career politician” refuses to follow the law, and stop supporting a genocide.
You mean Putin?
Wait no, they aren't supporting a genocide. They are actively committing one.

Drive home from democracy and child, reflecting.. this is all a referendum on whether we choose kindness or selfishness going into the scarcity age. If evil wins today, it's not just about this government and this population. It validates whether the uprisings in Europe are a lag behind or a forward trend.
I know! It seemingly shouldn't be too hard of a choice. Who the Fuck would trust a career politician!?
