    Not American, but “less worse than the other guy,” doesn’t seem like a winning argument to me.

      Seems like that argument has won thousands of elections all over the world. This guy “less worse” seems very popular and speaks a crazy amount of languages.

      How?

      I’m in NZ, we have a whole bunch of politicians to choose from, and it always comes down to who is the least likely to fuck things up beyond repair. It is not often that an objectively good candidate, everyone has their flaws.

      In this example the question is not is Harris an objectively good candidate, but is she objectively better than Trump?

      In my opinion yes, yes she is! Trump is the worst, the way he has emboldened the far right world wide is truly terrible.

      This is how FPTP elections work, unfortunately, and this will always be the case unless we switch to parliamentary system elected by proportional voting.
