The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".

Even people fighting for Palestinian liberation have to ensure Biden wins

no. we have to ensure the safety of the palestinian peopl and their liberation regardless of what happens november 2

When trump wins with your help, what are you going to be doing to help Palestinian people?

It will be too late, won't it?

[-] core 2 points 10 months ago

what are you going to be doing to help Palestinian people?

same thing i do now. agitate, educate, organize.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

What specifically does any of that mean?

[-] core 1 points 10 months ago

i don't talk about my personal organizing here. go find an org and help out.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Are you accusing me of being uncharitable towards others because I asked you to clarify what you meant?

Uhm, OK.

Are you accusing me of being uncharitable towards others

no. i'm telling you that's the best way to find out what i do.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

How can I find out what you do if you refuse to tell me what organization I should go to?

[-] core 1 points 10 months ago

you will have better luck blindly joining leftist orgs than asking me for more details here.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Can you please just do 1 response to 1 statement? This comment chain is going to grow exponentially if I respond to each thing that could have really just been 1 message to prevent repeating.

[-] core 1 points 10 months ago

i don't like walls of text. if you don't want to talk to me, please don't

Great, and what are you going to say to all of the LGBT folk who get legislated out of existence because of your failure to protect them?

[-] core 2 points 10 months ago

I do what I can to protect vulnerable people. I don't believe voting accomplishes that.

[-] BluJay320 1 points 10 months ago

Voting third party is no vote at all. Therefore you are refusing to combat Trump, and so are complicit in his victory if it happens.

You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

[-] core 2 points 10 months ago

You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

no. everyone is only responsible for their own actions. I'll be voting against trump

[-] BluJay320 1 points 10 months ago

Then vote Biden, or you’re not voting at all. Third party means nothing.

this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted like anybody else.

[-] core 2 points 10 months ago

any vote that is not for trump is a vote against trump

[-] BluJay320 1 points 10 months ago

False. If you do not vote Biden, you are throwing away a vote against Trump. Voting third party is no vote at all.

i won't be helping trump win. i'll be voting against him.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

The only way in the US system to throw a protest vote without it being a spoiler vote is to vote for the 3rd party which siphons votes from the candidate you want the least.

So since you prefer Biden over Trump, you should be voting for the libertarian candidate instead of West.

this makes no sense. i am going to vote for the candidate i want to win.

this is a lie. the votes don't belong to biden. they belong to me. if i give it to someone, it's not taking it from anyone else.

voting isn't a protest, so this term makes no sense.
