MODERATORS
 

“I think this is the worst election in my lifetime,” said George Argodale, a Nikki Haley supporter from Gainesville, Virginia. “It’s just terrible that we don’t have better candidates.”

“That’s a sad state of affairs for our country that those are the two best candidates that we can come up with,” agreed Peggy Hudson, a primary voter in Charleston, South Carolina.

Judith Smith, from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said of Biden and Trump: “That’s like choosing between a hedgehog and a porcupine.”

As the primary season sputters to an expected ending, following Haley’s withdrawal from the Republican primary on Wednesday, voters’ frustration with their general election options is palpable.

Porcupines are also cute!

So now I don't know who to choose!

And neither are very aggressive species.

Thanks! Teddy Bear is a very cute porcupine even though he has a stupid name for a porcupine.

Don't name an animal after another animal, it only confuses them!

And especially don't name an animal after a toy named after a dead president and another animal!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And also maybe don't name an animal that you should definitely not snuggle with after a toy you're supposed to snuggle with.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, that name is like an onion of stupid 😄

I see you didn't watch jordanlund's videos. I'll wait until you watch a porcupine eat corn and have someone try to take it away from them so you hear the noises they make.
