sounds about right. I’m currently planning to vote Marianne Williamson in the primary, and if she doesn’t win the nomination then green in the general. I haven’t seen/heard anything to sway my vote yet. Not a fan of Trump or Biden at all (they’re both crooks IMO). DeSantis is ehhh seems more like a shit stirrer who doesn’t actually care about anything but drama.
Personally, i have given up on the Democratic party. They run a bunch of crunchy lefties during the primary to draw the progressives, but they won’t let them win the nomination. Bernie got so close in 2019, I thought the DNC might try to assassinate him to make sure Biden won. Of course, in 2016, SCOTUS said they could just rig the primaries, or not even have primaries at all, and that would be legal. So, I have little trust in them to do the right thing.
I have voted Green in the last two presidential elections and vote Working Families Party in most local elections. WFP is a social democrat/progressive party that caucuses with the democrats. Hakeem Jeffries is WFP and is also my congressman, so that’s cool. I like Howie Hawkins, and he’s a lot more trustworthy and less kooky than Jill Stein who turned out to have some possibly dubious Russian connections. At this point, most of the Green Party platform is carbon-copied from what Bernie Sanders was running on, and some other similar stuff. It’s matured a lot since the wacky party it was in the 90s.
This may not sway your vote, but a vote for a candidate that isn’t going to win might as well be a vote for Trump. The 2020 election was decide by 43,000 votes across three states. Maybe another Trump term is okay with you, but it’s something to consider.
I’d rather trump win than biden. So good. I’m gonna vote green unless the democrat candidate explicitly endorses and pushes ubi. I don’t care if trump wins because biden is worse than trump.
I’m all for UBI and it is only a logical conclusion to our problems.
But trump is just a straight up charlatan. I wouldn’t want him in my own home. No where near my business for damn sure. I just don’t like the guy on a human level. He is greed encapsulated.
Biden is a political vestige of old, I know, but tagging along with Biden is a new wave of smarter more in touch people (for now) and I think we need to support them up and comers, while slowly pushing in the direction that does the most good for most people.
None of our current political frameworks are the answer. We’re still trying to figure it out. And it’s slow going. Extremely slow going.
I think money has soured everything and until it leaves politics, and life in general, nothing is really gonna work in our favor.

It’s literally broken by design.
