First round of voting I actually found a candidate I really liked, someone I would actually celebrate if they won but of course the rest of the country is not looking for the best candidate, they only care about electing the worst candidate for 'the other side'.

So here I am, waiting for the results knowing that if the candidate I picked wins I won't be happy, just relieved and if the other candidate wins, I need to fear for the future of our country.

I looked for an offmychest community but couldnt find it, I read the rules and I think politics is allowed here? Though really, Im not here to discuss politics, just lament the current state of affairs.

Democratic candidates and their vote history has steadily moved right-wing, wtf are you smoking. With one or two notable exceptions who have been completely ostracized by the party. There literally is a third option. People like you who insist there isn't create a self-fulfillign prophecy. There's other names on the ballot that arent Democrats, it just takes enough people to be fed up. And yes, that probably won't ever happen in a single election cycle. But it could have started decades ago, and the longer you stupidly insist on voting blue no matter who, the more fucked you're going to get by the bought and sold Democrat party. Trump isn't the fault of third party voters, he's the fault of the Democrat establishment who have steadfastly refused to do anything fucking useful.
