I live in the US, born and raised. I am queer and a racial minority as well as very politically active. I and everyone I know will be refusing to vote for Biden. He has made nothing meaningfully better since Trump and in fact has made things worse. Regardless of that, I can't in good conscience vote for someone aiding a genocide. I think everyone who is voting for Biden in the US must be very privileged and unaware or otherwise removed from the effects of the severe decline in living standards under his administration. But even if that weren't true... he's aiding a literal mass-child-murder genocide, and by voting for him, I'd feel like I was giving my approval for such a heinous, despicable thing. I wish the democrats had put forward a decent human being that I could vote for, but they didn't, and I can't. The US is sliding towards fascism and if you think that won't keep happening just because the blue team puts their geriatric genocidal guy at the top, I think you're painfully naive.

Ok but do you seriously think trump would have handled Gaza any differently? I think he would have handled it even worse.

No way! Surely the fella who kicked off his term with a "Muslim ban" would have saved all the Palestinians! It's not like he wants Israel to "finish the job" or anything like that. Surely the fella who tweeted nuclear threats against Iran would have been the best choice to have in office when they fired their rockets.

But would you rather have Trump? Because that's what will happen if all the people who don't like either party too much don't vote.

I think they genuinely want Trump and for him cause generational suffering (judge appointments) which in their mind will eventually lead to reforms decades down the road. They are perfectly willing to sacrifice people now for that chance later.

Who are you voting for then that will help keep Trump out of office?

[-] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 months ago

This cosplayer doesn't want no fascism, they want full fascism. They want another "Muslim ban" and they want Israel to "finish the job."

They also want Repubs to pass more laws like banning anything mentioning LGBT from schools. Force teachers who mention anything of the sort to register as sex offenders.

The US has done been fascist, its about voting for the fascist that will do the least harm.

Absolutely wild that you're getting downvoted for this. Head in the sand behavior.
