I don't like either candidate, but I'll be damned if trump is going to be president again and project 2025 comes to fruition.
Thank you, I’ll spend the entire day rewatching the series all over again
FYI they posted all episodes to their YouTube

November Headline: Random Lemmy user declared president of the United States
Can't be any worse than the current options 🤷
Both candidates are a joke & without voting reform it’ll stay as a cabal for the donor class, lobbyist, & corporations. It costs about $10 to mail my ballot to my very red-&-ain’t-changin’ domicile… so I’ll just keep my $10 & buy 6 made-to-order meals instead.
Local elections are also very important and really need participation. Like if you wanted that fee for mail-in voting to go away that would likely be a decision made by local politicians.
And without voting there's no hope for change for the better
Congratulations on ensuring our system has a harder time improving
I would agree but I spent very little time in my domicile & haven’t set foot within US borders in years. Seeing that I don’t pay (local) taxes or otherwise participate in the local community or economy, I would argue it would be unethical if I did vote in a place that doesn’t represent me & I don’t understand too well—like voting straight ticket without looking into any candidates. Last time I did a mail-in, I only checked State-level boxes since those you can easily research online & are more broad-reaching than the local level where only locals should be casting ballets for their community.
If I could vote on issues that actually affect me, I absolutely would—like FBAR reforms where you aren’t seen as a criminal for having more that $10k in a foreign bank where you actually have your address, tax reforms that took TurboTax out of the equation as the only ‘affordable’ option that actually lets you file with a non-US address instead of a no-service error, or Medicare/Medicaid reform that allowed vouchers or reimbursement for using services abroad rather than it being a money sinkhole you pay into your whole life, even if you don’t live there, but can’t redeem any care unless on US soil. These are never ballot measures & instead requires, ugh lobbying or a representative willing to champion these topics seen niche despite there being more citizens outside the US than some States in population.
That’ll show ‘em!
(Obligatory /s)
i'll vote for nobody. nobody cares! nobody is honest! nobody for prez
None of the above!
I sure would love to see some some of these memes leveling criticisms at moderates and liberals for being inflexible.
Hard to be flexible when the whole schtick of the right wing is to actively be bad people
Then it should be easy for liberals and moderates to compromise with leftists and progressives.
Remember, vote for the guy doing a genocide to prevent the other guy from doing a genocide.
I've never heard of such a movement, tbh.
It's an incredibly stupid movement where people are saying that they won't vote as a protest to not liking either candidate.
Usually said by people who have little to lose if Republicans win, seem to think revolution is a viable possibility if Republicans win, and/or think that by not voting something good might happen.
Also people who don't understand that our system is a First-Past-the-Post system and the only group of people who are trying to get support for not voting in this election are people on the left.
So I'm not as many words: people trying to guarantee a victory for trump.
Again, I haven't seen anything like that. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you aren't dumb enough to be confusing the noncommitted movement of the DNC Primaries with the general election in November. You're not that dumb, right?
Don't make the mistake of believing that just because you haven't seen something that it doesn't exist.
We all exist in media bubbles and in those bubbles we miss a lot. By seeing this meme you could say that your media bubble has finally bumped into the bubble where people openly talk about not voting.
Hell there's comments in this comment section on the note of not voting.
I'll be voting but it won't be for Biden or Trump. If you want me to vote for him then figure out how to make him listen to the people he's depending on to get elected.
cant wait to be able to vote when someone under 60 is running. That's going to be a really cool day. Like 30 years from now.
I would personally be happier with 20 something year old presidential candidates over the current trend of the battling octogenarians. At least the 20 something year old politicians would have to live a long time with the ramifications of their decisions and actions.
Its still not ideal, but I would take it over these incredibly out of touch seniors. They should be out enjoying their retirement and last days on Earth, anyways.
You should run
i would run. You have 30 million dollars for a campaign?
I could chip in a little lol
The majority of presidents have been under 60. Obama, Clinton, Bush 2, Jimmy Carter, JFK, both Roosevelts...
Only Trump and Biden have been over 70. Regan missed it by like 20 days.
I'm voting for the PSL this year! 😊votesocialist2024.com
E: wow, so much for democracy 😔
Fffffffffffffffffploppers!
