    So who’s worthy of the office that has a chance to win in November then?

    Let’s see you name someone.

    It’s easy to suggest people not vote- but let’s see you offer up a candidate in Biden’s stead since you hate him so much.

      It’s entirely possible to leave the field blank.

        Nope. Name someone. Because leaving the field blank doesn’t negate an election. Someone is still going to be president.

        Name someone.

            So there it is. You cannot answer a simple question to support your entire ideology.

            Just:

            “biDeN bAD!” … but no alternative suggestions. Which clearly shows you are here in to disrupt.

              My entire ideology here is not to support genocide. Everything else has been your projection.

                You absolutely WILL be supporting genocide by allowing trump to get elected

                Bit you know that. Don’t you?

                  Trump isn’t the reason for Biden to be elected. That way lies authoritarianism of it’s own kind because it makes it impossible to hold anyone accountable. You might as well let the oligarchy directly tell you who to vote for.

          How the fuck is it fascism to use a feature of a democracy? You’ve gone completely off the cliff.

            The part where Representative Democracy involves Voting to elect a leader, not just voting as a symbolic gesture.

              How is voting only for people you actually want running the country in any way symbolic? Versus just always voting for a color. This is possibly the most ridiculous thing you’ve said to me in the last few weeks.

                You understate how voting works, right? Like… this was taught to you as some point? Because if You don’t, then I can excuse the ignorance. Otherwise, you really should know better.

                Not voting won’t cancel an election. Someone is STILL getting elected. So you can either go with “genocide Lite,” or SUPER-MEGA-ULTRA-GYRO GENOCIDE 3000 v2.0.

                But you’re getting one or the other regardless. You have the choice to help this country along with those in Palestine from suffering worse.

                And it provenly will be worse.

                  Oh yes I understand how you think voting works. You go in and pull the lever for whoever the party tells you or you get the stick again. But that’s not a democracy. In a democracy the party bends to the will of the people. Not the people to the party. Or else the Party gets the stick again.

                    Ahh. I get it. You haven’t yet figured out how things work yet. You’re still at that age where you think that you get what you want by simply asking for it, and when reality doesn’t comply- you throw temper tantrums and threaten to take your ball and go home when the other kids don’t play by your rules.

                    I think it’s called…. Idealism?

                    It’s all good. was the same way when I was young. Granted, I grew up and learned how things work before I could partake in anything too stupid- like… socialism.

                    I’m going to just ignore you now as I feel arguing with you is unfair and pointless.

                Because then you’re voting for an outcome that won’t exist, or even no outcome at all, and meanwhile somebody far worse gets elected instead.

                  Dude seems to think that not voting will result in no one being elected. I don’t think they’re teaching this shit in schools anymore.

                  No. In no world is not voting for someone somehow a vote. You cannot coerce votes and still call it a democracy. The entire point is freedom to vote for your choice.

                    Your votes do decide. The primaries selected Joe Biden in 2020, and this general election is going to be 51:49 in Trumps favor based on polls. We have a choice.
