    I agree with you but the way things are right now, if you want to keep your right to criticize your government, you have to still vote for Biden at the election.

    If you stay home or vote for Orange Man, hating what your government is doing overseas will be the last thing you’ll be complaining about.

      Yeah, exactly. I hate it. I hate that NOT voting for Biden is one vote closer that Trump could win again and end our democracy like he is promising to do. That’s scary. And if that does happen we will never again have ANY votes for anything, let alone protesting a foreign genocide.

      We need to all be pushing and campaigning to get Ranked Choice Voting in as many states as we can.

      Until then the reality is we get to choose between A or B. There are no other viable options. You can choose to not vote, you can vote 3rd party, but that does absolutely nothing at all but toss the vote away. And you will never convince me otherwise until a 3rd party candidate gets anywhere close to the other 2. And 2-5% of the country is not that.

          Mr. Beast’s latest video did more to raise awareness of ranked choice voting than this election.

          Edit: Okay, it was 3 weeks ago. RCV is at the end.

      So what’s your definition of criticizing the government? Because everytime I see someone do it they are met with rubber bullets and tear gas by the state.

        like the time Biden had a protest cleared so he could get pics in front of a church?

        OH YEAH WAIT

        I’m talking about what we are able to do right here. If Trump gets in, he would tolerate it like China does.

          You know Trump was already president for 4 years and wasn’t throwing people in jail for saying bad things about him right?

              I like how Biden is powerless to do anything and it’s not his fault that he can’t get anything passed but all of a sudden when Trump gets in office he has the power to do anything he wants.

                Yeah, Biden’s too busy:

                • saving the economy,
                • ukraine,
                • forgiving school loans,
                • rescheduling mj,
                • pardoned MJ incarcerated,
                • expanding healthcare,
                • cutting insulin costs (THIS SAVED SO MANY LIVES IT’S BONKERS),
                • stood up for unions & labor (FIRST PRESIDENT TO EVER WALK A PICKET LINE),
                • increased overtime for millions,
                • ended federally subsidized discriminatory mortgage lending,
                • went after airlines, cable companies, phone companies, concert ticket sales and hotels for their fucking ridiculous hidden fees!,
                • started a drone industry right here in the US so we won’t be caught like Russia is, developing new weapons while getting blown up;
                • restarted microchip and solar production IN THE US,
                • brought back net neutrality,
                • and much more - you just don’t care because you’d rather tear it down than be part of the solution.

                Figures.

                  Hey remember when Biden told rail workers they weren’t allowed to strike?

                  Remember when Biden funded the genocide of over 30 thousand women and children

                  Why do you support baby killing and rape?

                    ya got nothing kid, and you know it. sad. said it before and it bears repeating - biden’s not perfect, no president is, but you can do FAR FUCKING WORSE dipshit.

                    You’re probably a trump supporter anyway, the divisive posturing is so childish.
