First they came for the communists... Condoning genocide along with Biden allows for future atrocities. What happened to 'push him left?'

if trump wins it will be 100% because the democrats chose to run a shitty candidate that didn't encourage turnout among less engaged voters. and before you yell at me biden fans, those less engaged voters aren't in this thread, or indeed any politics thread. they're the ones who barely ever show up to vote in the first place. two shitty candidates = they don't care enough to register or wait hours in line, and you gotta go out and get their votes to win. it's just politics

Please remember they’re not the same type of bad.

Who is saying they are?

Won't be Biden handing the keys to fascists, just like it wasn't Clinton that did so.

I think I still need to vote for him because of Republicans, but my God it will be hard to live with myself after I do.

This sentence will be ignored by combative centrist genocide apologists. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

Which is a pretty damn good predictor that he's going to lose. Nobody wins an election by everyone sighing and saying "fuck guess we gotta vote for them," just look at Hillary. DNC is once again shrugging their shoulders and saying "we've tried nothing and are all out of ideas," so guess it's on the U.S. people to save democracy. They've got a real...great track record.

Don't be hard on yourself for making the correct decision.

If someone tells you that you have swallow stale lima beans or horse shit and you pick the stale lima beans in hopes that you never have to do it again... well it sucks but those were the choices. If 4 years later you have to do the same thing again... well you do it, because eating stale lima beans is always going to be better than eating horse shit, and you're going to have to eat one of them.

You don't have to feel like the lima beans are your choice, your preference, or your fault or responsibility. They were one of two choices available, and you made the right one.

imagine if the republicans ran like democrats. would you switch to voting for a supposedly pro-choice pro-gay moderate republican? no? why are we told to expect the opposite, especially from a more propagandized group of voters?

Unfortunately America is a two-party system, it's baked into how the voting works. Occasionally the identity of which two parties are the two parties changes, but not very often.

However, that doesn't mean that there are only two possible candidates for presidency. The time when it's "safe" to vote for a third-party candidate is during the primary elections. Incumbents like Biden still have a huge advantage in those situations but even so it's a time when protest votes can be cast without harming the end result.

Guys I'm a socialist, calm down
