A few weeks after a tape of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women went viral, it seems increasingly likely that Hillary Clinton will be sworn in at the next inauguration. Several women have come forward saying that Trump sexually assaulted them. The Republican Party machine has been thrown into a frenzy; over 160 GOP leaders have withdrawn their support for their party’s candidate. Despite Trump’s plummeting chances, the lesser-evil argument still holds sway among many who plan to vote for Clinton in November.

However, there are millions of others who aren’t buying the lesser-evil story. They are against both Clinton and Trump. Here are their reasons.

Train Derailment in Metro Detroit Illustrates That Capitalist Control of the Railroads Is Fundamentally Unsafe

The Ohio Train Disaster Is on Biden’s Hands

Just months after President Biden and Congress blocked railway workers from striking over dangerous working conditions, the exact type of disaster that workers predicted has come to pass. The fate of East Palestine must be a wake-up call for the labor and climate movements to fight for the nationalization of the railroads under workers’ control.

US President Joe Biden speaks during a State of the Union address with US Vice President Kamala Harris, left, and US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, right, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023. Biden is speaking against the backdrop of renewed tensions with China and a brewing showdown with House Republicans over raising the federal debt ceiling.

Biden’s Populist Speech Can’t Cover Up Capitalist Crisis

Biden tried to paint a picture of a United States that has come back stronger after the pandemic. But despite his populist rhetoric and laundry list of policies, none of these measures can address the real needs of the vast majority of the working class and poor who have been exploited and oppressed for much longer than the last two years.
