Dall-E-2: Destruction of Democracy

The 2024 Presidential Election has put me in a moral quandary. Why vote?

On the one hand, the choice is an aged narcissist and misogynist, indicted 4 times, including for racketeering, who is hellbent on ruining the country and destroying democracy in order to grab a get out of jail card. How anyone can even consider Trump a viable candidate demonstrates the state of depravity and hopelessness at the heart of our crumbling system.
