    So by not voting for Biden you’ll get trump. Trump just wants to ban all Muslims… so yea… good luck with that.

      So by taking voters for granted you lose them. Condescend more, it will never stop working.

      I am done voting for the lesser evil.

      All it does is increase the overall evil.

      We have been increasing the overall evil for FAR too long.

          Then have a real primary. If no one can beat Biden, what is there to lose?

            Elect better candidates in the primary? This year there is an incumbent. Let’s defeat, not elect, the greater evil.

              And the incumbent is massively funding genocide and is trying to make that funding a closed door black box process.

              Don’t support the rapist con artist fascist. Don’t support the genocidal fascist.

              Only support good people.

                Your hyperbole is ridiculous. Trump actually is those things, and not voting for Biden is equivalent to supporting him. Replace first-past-the-post then vote for whoever you like, until then your obstinance is stupid and self-sabotaging.

            Yes, by making the voter turnout abysmal.

            Don’t give ANY corrupt assholes the stats to allow them to claim they are what America wants.

            If you have noone worth voting for, be loudly disenfranchised.

              The DNC is clandestine.

              They hold a primary election to make you feel involved, then they throw a party and put forth whoever they feel like it.

              Same model as the electoral college but with zero accountability instead of virtually no accountability.

              All your vote does is inform The Party that you are buying their horseshit.

                  A vote isn’t a say in anything in particular.

                  A vote is raising your hand in the attendance check.

                  Stop giving corrupt people your attendance.

                  Register independent. Vote on laws, not people. Pray the fire smothers without your fuel (your vote) so that we can finally build anew.

          You support fuckers that literally run ads for far right politicians like Trump, helping them win their primaries so they can get the “easy” win. Not to mention the corruption and the utter fucking stupidity that went into nominating people like Hillary and Biden over Bernie TWO ELECTIONS IN A ROW!

          You got trump into office, and your hostile attitude towards people who don’t unconditionally kiss democrat ass will ensure he returns. I hope some day you realize that and it makes you feel absolutely fucking horrible for making so much horrible shit happen

            I voted 3rd party in 2016, and guess what happened? Outside of organizing some massive vote for a 3rd party candidate, all you’re doing is preaching to the choir. Ineffectively.

          I don’t care.

          Lesser evil rhetoric is horse-shit.

          Not to mention Hilary wouldn’t have been any better. If she got in office we would probably still be balls deep in war with Syria. She rigged the DNC and ushered in Trump.

          Don’t regret not voting for her. I do regret voting for Biden’s genocide though.

        you can be done with it as much as you like but that doesn’t change reality… FPTP is absolute shit: vote for the lesser evil or you get the greater evil… that’s just the way it is

        want something different? you have to change the system first

        that’s just reality. deal with it or vulnerable people die and hate wins

          Also, the only people even considering changing the system are the democrats. The democrats actually do have some forward looking people. The establishment sucks though.

          Biden, your lesser evil, is making America bankroll the murdering of Palestinian children.

          If you vote for Biden, you are making yourself accomplice in that.

          Yes. Change the system. Stop voting for The Party.

            again, reality is fucked but that doesn’t change that it’s reality… work within the bounds of what’s possible rather than pissing into the wind because you don’t like the options

                    Then don’t complain when the trolley goes one way or another.

                    You can’t have it both ways – if you choose not to vote, you choose to not influence the outcome. And if you aren’t trying to change the outcome, you shouldn’t bitch about what the outcome is. It’s like saying you’re fine with going anywhere for dinner, but then you spend the whole night complaining about the restaurant I picked.

          Voting hard just enshrined abortion rights into the constitution of Ohio, which will save quite a lot of women’s lives.

          Dunno if you care about that, but hey, I bet the women who would otherwise be destitute mothers or dead are happy with it.
