 False dichotomy, who cares about the other candidate. This guy is a complete shitcoin scammer, and supporting him means enabling his shitcoin scam, doesn't matter what the other clown says. I don't make the rules. 
 The slaves were given the keys to unshackle themselves and a map to get off the plantation, but instead fight over who they want as a master. 
 What are these keys and what is the map? How do the slaves get free? Stop voting? 
 It’s not a false dichotomy. It’s a regular dichotomy. That’s what voting is in a two party system. A contrast between two opposing ideologies. 
 It's a false dichotomy because there are more than two choices. You are just too blind to see. 
 Yes I’m so blind. Very blind. You’ve figured me out. 
 I'm not chiding you. You literally don't see that you have another choice.  
 Yes you are right. I don’t see that. Wow. First time I’m realizing. I have been so blind. 
 Yeah the primaries is the time to make that argument. When you actually have options. At this point in the game it’s R or D, anything else is basically the equivalent to not voting. People don’t want the comrade, so fuding the orange man because he is not a maxi is peak OP cope 
 Expecting the government to fully embrace Bitcoin is like asking a bank to cheer for decentralization—it’s against their very foundation. They’ll always lean towards fiat or their own digital currencies because that’s what keeps their control intact. Bitcoin’s strength lies in standing outside of that system, not in being adopted by it.
