    Agreed, although they usually say I shouldn’t vote for either option as if there is a viable third possibility of a winner even though they never name that person when I asked… except for one guy. He said Cornel West. His reasoning? Both Trump and Biden could die before November and then Cornel West would win because anything is possible in the universe. Seriously.

      I mean, many things are possible, including that outcome, whereas FTL and time travel do not seem to be possible. The question is, how probable is that outcome, and can you do anything to steer matters to it in a realistic way? I’d have to say that anyone sane enough to actually effect that outcome is too sane to come within a kilometer of even spending the time to plan it, let alone actually try it and die on the protective detail’s bullets.

        Honestly, I’d rate FTL and time travel as slightly more probable than electing a third-party candidate as President.
