But can you really? What are you really choosing from? One senile old man versus senior nacisistics idiot.

Doesn't seem like much of a choice.

Isn't that better than only one option? Also the choices have new additions every four years.

I don't know. On one hand there is no choice, on the other hand there is illusion of choice.

I would say that no choice is more honest. The illusion of choice is a bit like the fake buttons on traffic lights, it's there to make you think you are in control of something while you are really not.

On a similar note, as a US citizen I am more concerned with what data the US Government or US companies have on me than anything the CCP might have on me.

This might be naive but it seems like we have a much bigger privacy problem in the US.

I think it is naive. What's at stake here isn't the Chinese version of the CIA/NSA/FBI blackmailing you with collected info, it's China extending its censorship into US communication platforms. Dissenting speech against the CCP's interests will curiously disappear while pro-CCP propaganda is amplified. China would have control over discussion of its regime even in the US.

No you don't
