    Biden is really testing how far the “but Trump is worse” argument is going to go. I’m normally pretty pragmatic, but with Isreal setting new records of inhumanity everyday, it’s hard to feel excited or even compelled to vote when my choices are old guy who is arming a rogue genocidal state and literally hugs it’s leader and old guy who wants to end American democracy. Stretching the “lessor of two evils” voting strategy to it’s absolute absurd limit here guys.

      I’m gonna vote for him, but only the fact that his opponent is merely 1 degree removed from being the literal devil is ensuring that.

        Americans are faced with arguably the worst choice in their nation’s history this election. Biden is old and willing to make his nation complicit in war crimes. Trump is deranged, xenophobic, and a convicted criminal. It’s insane that those are the two people who have been deemed the best choices for office by American electoral processes. Given how unpopular they are, it’s really hard to call them American “democratic” processes.

        Biden can stop this any day. The faster he sees his polling numbers drop the faster Biden will be forced to stop this.

        Stop telling people to keep voting for the lesser evil until Biden stops this Genocide. Then the issue is gone and Biden can actually start campaigning again.

        If Biden keeps this Genocide up thinking people will just lesser-evil him he will lose in november 100%.

          Thing is, I don’t think he’s going to be forced to do anything. The Democratic party knows their voters don’t have another option in this election but to not vote, and that would just make it easier for Trump to win.

          But I am going to lesser-evil him. So that’s the position I espouse. You are welcome to espouse an opposing view, as you are doing here, but I’m not sure why you think I would.

            You’re free to do what you want it’s your vote. But if I can ask one thing at least vote uncommitted in the primaries. Make Biden feel like he actually has to work for your vote.

              That I will do, because it does not have a chance of resulting in a Trump (or R) presidency. It’s a good idea, and I’m glad you put it to me like that.
