I vote for anyone but Biden, or even a no vote, is a vote for Trump.

If you think Palestine is in bad shape under Biden, try to imagine how much worse it'd be with Trump.

The only way to get Democrat candidates on the left is to crush the right wing so that the Overton window moves.

You are the uncle Tom piece of shit that has lead this country here.

I do not vote for Biden. I do not vote for Trump.

You can't make me.

Your rhetoric is outdated, idiotic, and counter-productive.

One of those two will be president no matter what you do. They will then be in a position capable of inflicting great damage. Trump will use that position to hurt more people than Biden. The math here isn't complicated, and it continually astounds me how many people on the left cannot actually solve the trolly problem when faced with it for real. It really shows which people are engaged in politics as a means to an end rather than as personal expression or a hobby.

Dont. Support. Genocidal. Fascists.

I don't support anyone. I oppose the worst outcome, and seek to steer our course away from it. Only narcissists and hobbyists hyperventilate about who they are "supporting".

I engage in politics as a means to an end and nothing more. I take the best option available and I move on to the next task. To do otherwise is to value the self above the collective, and as a communist that is not a luxury I'm afforded.

Nobody is going to make you vote one way or another, but please recognize the following:

The United States is currently a two party system. It sucks. We need to push for more ranked choice voting, as well as direct popular vote.

However, until we're able to achieve something that makes this parties viable, we will continue to have issues with the right wing getting undue influence in our politics.

Vote with your heart, but make sure that you're okay with another Trump presidency of you decide not to vote for Biden.

Keep in mind as you do so that more than one state had enough votes for Jill Stein that if they had gone to Hillary, Trump never would have become president.

We should have viable parties outside of the two not great to horrible parties we have now. But that's simply not the way our government works as it stands now.

Last thing: you've become a single issue voter. This is the lefty equivalent of only caring about abortion and ignoring literally everything else. Politics is complicated, and I personally find single issue voters incredibly shortsighted and lazy.

Considering... considering... nope, wont support genocide.

Instead youll sit idle by as fascism takes over. You are no less responsible if you dont vote.

[-] Melkath@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Biden. Is. Funding. Genocide.

He is actively exploiting Bush era "emergency powers" that were never rolled back after 9/11 to sell artillery to Israel.

He is fascist too.

This is what happens when you let soft brained morons convince you that supporting lesser evil is mandatory. You support evil and both sides continually get worse.

You’re an insolent child that thinks not voting somehow makes a statement when all you really do is join a huge bloc of voters who sit on their hands while everyone else decides for you all so you can act superior when the shittier option winds up on office and say ‘I didn’t vote for them’.

You’re a petulant, insolent child. Grow the fuck up and start living in reality.

I vote for anyone but Biden, or even a no vote, is a vote for Trump.

First they think of not voting. That's one vote for Trump.

Then they decide to vote for Trump. That's two votes for Trump!

By this logic, every dollar you don't donate to Biden is a dollar donated to Trump.
