No matter how you are going to vote, your next president will be a "genocide supporter".
I'd pick the one that's a bit less enthusiastic about it.
Canvassing my block with this message to really juice the turn out
Be sure to let your block know that Trump’s Genocide™ comes with a side of anti-LGBTQ+ laws. More restrictive laws for abortion, and a neat little thing called Project 2025
Sadly, the Biden administration has done nothing to halt the deluge of anti-LGBTQ+ laws sweeping the nation at the state and local level.
Project 2025 is already being rolled out. And we've seen Democrats willing to compromise on chunks of it (the TikTok ban jammed through the House as a condition of Ukraine military funding) even from the majority. As disenfranchisement rates surge in purple-red states, we're going to see Republicans grow bolder and Democrats more desperate to appeal to the shrinking pool of centrist voters.
So…. To fight this, your suggestion is….. to do nothing. Got it!
Brilliant plan! Let’s call everyone with this new idea to fix problems! I’m sure the AMA would love to know that cancer can be cured by simply doing nothing about it!
Woooo! Utopia here we come!
Honestly, doing nothing by way of a General Strike would have a much more powerful impact on the political system than watching the poll results roll in from your gerrymandered district and disenfranchised neighborhood.
I wish more people would consider Walks-Outs, Sick-Outs, and Administrative Lock-Outs as tools of political change.
Hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I needed that today.
No it wouldn't. The only shit that matters in elections and the democracy is VOTES. Your half assed 2 day max protests do jack shit if votes don't come out.
This has to be some Russian psyops that has convinced leftist that voting is bad. Holy shit. I'm so blackpilled at this point Jesus. Also gerrymandering? Literally doesn't matter for presidential runs. At all. Holy fuck the way fascism wins is because people choose to do nothing. Tale as old as time. The burden of democracy is that we have to constantly vote and keep authoritative regimes from rising. Choosing to do nothing is literally the same, to facist, as voting for them.
Add full context.
"But Trump Worse!"
I think that'll work. Any more complex than that and you'll lose them.
That’s funny… I’ve seen MAGA use the exact same argument.
The point being that trying to pass that specific sandwish as "gourmet" doesn't make this less of a contest of shit-sandwish vs double-shit-sandwish.
The take of top poster of this thread - that Biden is an "old man with good intentions" - is quite a different and far more tribalist and propagandistic take than your "the one that’s a bit less enthusiastic genocide supporter".
Your take is perfectly reasonable, whilst the original take is, as the previous poster pointed out, complete total bollocks for anybody but a complete total sociopath (who would be ok with mass murder) or ultra-tribalist numpty (who is ok with whatever their tribe's leader supports, no matter how inhumane).
