Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

      Again, voting for Biden is not supporting him. I’ll acknowledge that he is one of two shitty options, but my brain works well enough to recognize that in a two party system, we’re not going to have more than two options. That’s just math.

      My memory works well enough to remember the Trump regime and its lasting impacts on our country. Not voting for Biden is an endorsement for further rollbacks to bodily autonomy, a greater division in wealth, the privatization of public services, religious indoctrination in schools, AND the continued genocide of Palestinians.

          The third option being doing nothing at all? Is that the third option or are you going to inform me of a new way to do electoral math?

          I am voting for Biden as a vote against Trump. I do not support Biden; I abhor Trump. I am not really sure why this is difficult to process for you.

          You keep mentioning morals after I already told you that my decision is not one based in morals; it’s based in logic. Keep schilling for the right and you too will no longer need to worry about voting at all.

              In my state, we’re not even having a primary. Again, tell me more about how to do the electoral math.

              And I repeat the question you side-stepped; logically, how would one discourage Democrats ftom supporting genocide? Remember now, I’m not talking about Republicans, I know that they’re difficult to distinguish these days but I’m asking about Democrats. How, logically, does one stop Democrats from funding genocide and accepting AIPAC money?

              Show up to the meetings in your county. Get the phone numbers of the local party leaders that you can actually speak with. Engage with them. Tell them what they need to support. I’m tired of being the youngest person in the room as a 40 year old, it doesn’t bode well. All politics is local.

                  Wow… ok…

                  1.) I did not say to contact your representatives. I said to get in touch with your local party leaders. That means the people running the either weekly or monthly meetings that happen in your county. Depending on where you live, that might be your neighbor, or it might be someone down the street, but either way; it’s going to be someone that you have a possible chance of encountering at a store in your area.

                  2.) Based on how you responded, I can infer that you haven’t tried contacting your representatives either. So tell me again… what have you tried other than just doing nothing?
