Vote for the worst candidate. Do not vote for the best candidate.

[jvanname]

People in elections often vote for who they think is the best candidate. And this is dumb. If you are in the USA, are the American people nice and decent? If so, then go ahead and vote for the best candidate. But any reasonable person can tell you that this is not the case. So do the world a favor and vote for the worst candidate. You may think I am simply being a misanthropist. You are wrong. The American people can vote for someone who is good for the rest of the world without being so good for the USA. For example, if the USA sends a lot of money and resources to other countries (not to bomb them), then the USA is being good to other countries. If bad people come from Guatemala to the USA, then we are doing good by letting those bad people into the USA because that only means that there would be fewer bad people in Guatemala, and that would make Guatemala better. Vote for people who will tax the American people just to give everything to foreigners. Americans deserve worse because they are fat and mean.

The Catholic Holy Father, Pope Francis, once told the US people to vote for the lesser evil. In my view, this created more confusion since he didn't tell them who the lesser evil was. Now you are telling Americans to vote for the worst candidate, and thankfully you gave some reason. You would have done these voters more good if you told them who is the worst candidate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

However, I guess you mean that people should vote for the candidate who will give more aid to other countries and open the borders for immigrants. Do you mean Harris??

[Ruttoshi]

No one will know who is the best candidate until the person is in power. US is the world power and that is why they love to pork their nose into other countries affair. You should also note that the US government would not send funds to assist any country fighting war, if they are not benefitting indirectly or directly from such country and also benefitting from the war. US gives with one hand and take back with the second hand. We only hear of the funds and resource US gives, but we will never hear what they took in return.

It is the citizens from almost all the countries in the world that made US strong and who they are today, and it is a good reason to accommodate foreigners. There are bad people everywhere, because it is easy for a good person to turn to a bad person.

at the end of the day, who you call a worse candidate might be another persons best candidate and the idea a particular candidate holds that makes him a turn off for you might be what others sees as what a true and the best leader ought to possess.

As far as general election is concerned, you just have to vote who you're okay with and wait for the results. You can't even tell how an administration will look like before they get into that position. I would rather vote for who I think is the best candidate and come to see the person underperforming rather than vote for one that's a failure before arrival. If everyone follows this thought, we're going to witness the worse governance in the world.

What is the Catholic pop business with who the Americans vote for, and why is he advising them to vote for the lesser evil and that means he is saying that all the candidate contesting for the seat of the US president are evil and citizens should choose the evil that is smaller that the others, this is sarcastic despite American being known as the God own country where everyone should be a God annoited candidate, any ways this is elections anything can happen as far as election is concern and everyone is directly or indirectly campaigning for their candidates, which even what the pope is doing even though he did not mentioned the candidate he feels is the lesser evil.

However, I guess you mean that people should vote for the candidate who will give more aid to other countries and open the borders for immigrants. Do you mean Harris??

If aid ls giving is what the ops means in all of this, then I will say that, the country will go for a candidate that have a lot of money to throw in aid for other countries, and we can already know who the suitable candidate is for the seat if aid is all we are talking about here, let say that if a candidate can gather his billions dollars friends and ask for donations just like , Elon musk promises 1 million dollars for any vote casted in favor of his friends, same thing can raise free fund's for such aids giving project which is not directly in favor of the American citizens.

The US is known as the biggest giver of aid and grants to other countries. But one of the candidates has a policy called Make America Great Again. His policy is to focus on making America great and give fewer donations to other countries.

Elon Musk never said he would give $ 1 million to anyone who votes for Trump, he doesn't have such kind of money. Rather he is giving out that amount to randomly selected voters from the seven swing states who sign a PAC petition in favour of free speech and gun rights. I think the lottery will run from 19th October to 5th November.

The Pope is a respected personality globally. The outcome of the US elections will influence the world, hence he can make inputs. After all, there are approximately 61.9 million Catholics in the US.

Of the two of them, there is no better, there is only a lesser evil...

On the contrary, I find what you say to be true because you understand clearly that the nature of politicians is that most of them are not good people, they are just bad people.
He did not name any specific candidate because according to religious and political principles, there should be no connection or interference. Furthermore, each person will have different choices and there is no guarantee that his choice will be everyone's choice or that everyone will support his choice. So it was absolutely right that he did not name any specific candidate, because if he publicly endorsed any specific candidate it would cause chaos.

However, I guess you mean that people should vote for the candidate who will give more aid to other countries and open the borders for immigrants. Do you mean Harris??

I also think he's telling people to vote for Harris, and by that he's also saying that Harris is worse than Trump.

Well, I may actually run as an intentionally horrible candidate for the primaries go guarantee that the opposite party wins. Let's see here. I will run as an intentionally bad democratic candidate in the primaries. The republicans will pick up on this, so they will register as democrats so that they can ruin the democratic party by voting for me. I will therefore win in the democrat primaries just to lose in the general election to guarantee that the republicans win. Let's see what my platforms will be. I will criminalize obesity. I will only deport illegal immigrants if they are working because they are stealing our jobs, but unemployed illegal immigrants are not taking jobs so they can stay.

In addition to these platforms, I also need to have an exceptionally bad presentation. I will arrogantly pick my nose on camera with both middle fingers to quadruple the offense. I will also burp and fart as much as possible (I will learn to suck in air through my anus so that I can fart more; I did this once but I forgot how, so I need to practice more). I will accept many interviews, but I will refuse to answer any questions, but I will occasionally make animal noises throughout the interview, but I will not try to be realistic. I will sound like a grown man meowing. This will cause republicans to vote for me in the democrat primary so that the democrat party collapses and so that the republicans win. People do not think about how f@#$ed up our elections really are.

Please run. If we all became candidates, and all voted for ourselves, there wouldn't be any problems at all!

Why even try to find some reason or sense behind all of it?, when it is clear he is saying such things not because he actually believes there is reasoning by voting for the worst candidate in a presidential election, which is pretty much unprecedented. If you look at the final statement of his post you would realize he is saying all if this because he encloses a lot of despite for the people in the United States, while he is also someone who lives there...
Elections are supposed to choose the best the country has to offer and while it is true it is not longer the case for the USA, it does not mean one does the opposite and harms one's country on purpose.

Would you even take serious someone who openly says the people of USA are fat and stupid and hence are deserving of punishment?  Not me.

But Americans are fat and stupid. I do not have any more camaraderie with random Americans than I do with random humans on Earth. Intentionally voting for the worst candidate gives the American people an incentive to do better and act decently. Non-Americans are much nicer and much prettier than Americans too. But if harming the US people for nothing is too much, then we can all just vote for the people who decide to increase taxes on the American people to give as much stuff as possible to foreign countries for free. This way, Americans will lose, but everyone else will win, and they deserve it too because Americans are disgusting creatures. I cannot eat a slice of bread in the USA without that bread tasting like disgusting flaccid cake without the icing.

I think during Trump's 2016 term many people voted with this exact thought process.

Trump didn't claim to be a saint, he had a few scandals revealed pre-election about him too, but the voters didn't bother at all.

He ran on a platform of draining the swamp and locking his opponent up... Full on animosity. Then of course he went on to put some of the most establishment-linked people under his administration. He stated in no uncertain terms that they had trouble staffing their administration with people they found worthy. And indeed many had to be fired. But nobody had expected flops of the magnitude some of these officials had.

Trump realized probably that we don't live in a perfect world and he can't drain the swamp himself with a legal system in place. But surely he did his best to bring the US closer to his vision with his supreme court appointments. But even if you vote for the worst, in spite of the sweeping powers of the presidency, he can't enshittify the country too much. It might take quite a few terms to bring things to a point of no return.

How about voting for the candidate that says he’s going to eliminate capital gains taxes on crypto? That would be a blessing to all of us. I’m sure there is no shortage of crypto folks who would welcome this development. Might even help ease the pain of Trump Derangement Syndrome for the heartbroken liberals. Always a silver lining.

Again I saw somewhere that Trump is still considering doing away with the IRS tax, and replacing it with tariffs. To me, that would be awesome beyond eliminating crypto capital gains.

It might destroy the Federal Reserve Bank, but with the US Treasury, we don't need them.
