> when the alternatives are people like.. Hilary Clinton ?

Would she have been worse than this?

And the US had a better choice the second time.

Hilary Clinton could have literally entered office and done nothing, and still be better for the American people than the current admin, which is making life more difficult every week for not just Americans, but a good part of the whole world. But hey, the libs were owned, so I guess that's good or something.

Like Keir Starmer has in the UK. He got elected for saying nothing too. Country didn't get much worse. Maybe we should have 5 years off changes now and then?

No, I do not even think people like DeSantis or Ted Cruz would have been worse. Trump was one of the worst possible candidates the US voters could pick.

And you don’t just have to pick from the red team.

But as you say, was there a worse option? It’s hard to find it.

I think it's safe to say that none of the other potential GOP candidates would have threatened to invade a NATO ally.
