    Nah, not how it works. Trump gets elected, and far more extreme fascism becomes normalized and the courts get packed with even more evil scumbags. Genocide continues, possibly at an accelerated pace.

    Biden gets elected, genocide continues, but on the ground fascism isn’t enabled and there’s more room for grassroots leftist movements to take place.

    There isn’t a third party option, that’s a farce of the 2 party system. It doesn’t actually exist, it’s to provide the illusion that the American people actively support the current 2 parties, rather than passively supporting them. Its not a real option and never has been.

      You’re literally normalizing genocide already by voting for Biden. Nazi style genocide. It doesn’t get much more Fascist than Bidolf Hitler because you’re already there.

        Do you legitimately think Trump is the anti-genocide candidate here? Or is virtue signaling more important than the lives of Gazans to you? Are you so privledged that you can throw away your vote and let Trump accelerate fascism, because you won’t be harmed?

        Unfortunately for me, those I care about are not nearly as privledged and can’t afford letting a fascist in power, even if that means picking the crusty neoliberal ghoul.

            I’m a leftist, not a Democrat. Electoralism cannot work, read “Reform or Revolution.” Electoralism is purely harm reduction, and allowing harm to accelerate is privledged.

            If you want leftist movement, then join an org and advocate at the grassroots level, organize, unionize, and win local elections. Voting third party to virtue signal your LARP instead of touching grass and actually doing something is a great way to lose support of the Proletariat.

                Ask yourself. Bernie is verified proof that electoralism is bullshit.

                Read theory and stop LARPing.

                  Anyone supporting genocide is not a leftist. The only one larping is you.

                    You’re supporting genocide. Do you legitimately think the best way to stop genocide is to spoiler your vote so you can virtue signal while someone who has only demonstrated themselves to be far more militant the last time they were in power comes back into power?

                    Again, read theory, otherwise I’m just going to assume you’re either a bot or a fed. You openly support electing Trump and escalating the genocide of Palestinians just so you can virtue signal, it’s a betrayal of the international Proletariat.
