I know you kid, but even if someone considered Clinton a turd sandwich, I'd much rather have that than what we have today. Sometimes, a turd is better than a douche.

Douches serve a valuable purpose

A douche /duːʃ/ is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself.

Edit: While a turd sandwich is shit wrapped up to look like food

Douches can unhealthily impact the balance of various microbiomes, while turds (even in sandwich form) serve valuable purposes to excrete unneeded waste and fertilize agriculture.

Trump is the turd sandwich

The OP was saying that a turd (Clinton) is better than a douche (Trump). So I agreed with him and participated in the douche-bashing.

I'm suggesting that Trump was the turd and has no purpose. Their assumption that Clinton was as useless or as bereft as human feces is incorrect.

The point isn't voting doesn't matter the point is voting for someone you despise less isn't useful
