    If we can only vote for one party then democracy is already dead. Then what’s the point of voting at all?

      The point of voting is not to choose the candidate that will fix everything and give up if there isn’t one, it’s to choose the the option that will make your life easier, even if just a little. If you want the world to be a better place, one candidate will make your job risky and dangerous by putting left wingers in prison and supporting right wing violence, the other wont. Why make your life/job harder because you’re upset or frustrated? Why harm your LGBTQ comrades with your apathy?

      Genocide Trump: Yes Biden: Yes

      Make life hell for LGBTQ at home in the U.S. Trump: Yes Biden: No

        The Democrats"fix" less and less every time we elect them. The bus isn’t going towards any stops I want to take. It’s going the other way, following the red line. I’ve tried filing complaints but they just go into the void. So I think it’s time for a new bus.

          Me too, but jumping off a running bus onto flaming mini van full idiots isn’t going to help anyone.

          Everything you hate about Biden is still going to be there under Trump only worse, and Trump is the only other option at this moment. You want better choices in the future, run for office, encourage people to run for office. As long as people like you are encouraging good people to forfeit electoral politics, only the worst people are going to be available as options to vote for.

            We already had our chances at good people. The Democrats kept that from happening. At this point I’m really starting to believe the only choice is to back up, and protest how we elect presidents in the first place. It doesn’t seem to produce a representative of the people. And the more people tell me I have to vote for Biden because of Boogeyman, the more sure I am.

              Again, you’re right, how we elect presidents is fucked up and needs to change. Is making that change going to be easier under Trump? Because that’s who’s going to be president if Biden loses. Is changing how we elect presidents going to be easier when anyone willing to be an activist to accomplish it gets arrested? You think protest arrests are bad now, just wait until an actual fascist is in charge and your friends start disappearing.

                People are getting arrested now. And we already dealt with people disappearing. Look up Homan Square.

                The stuff you are threatening us with is already happening.

                  That’s what I mean, a few people being disappeared in a particularly crazy summer of nationwide protests years ago is way better than it being the norm for anyone that doesn’t agree with the Trump admin.

                  Do you not understand degrees of harm and think that since Biden isn’t a perfect communist than he is no different than an full on fascist dictatorship? Do you hate you mom like Hitler if she doesn’t give you Cheetos for dinner?

                    You didn’t look up Homan Square.
