Yeah, it’s been “hold your nose and vote for the least insane” for a long time now, but more the choice is “the guy who supports genocide” or “the guy who really really supports genocide.”
Fucking two party first post the post bullshit. This is going to get Trump elected when the people who cant bear to vote for genocide stay home or vote third party.
If Israel is your issue, you're going to have to find another differentiator... like how Trump wants to end democracy as we know it and Biden does not.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m just heartbroken that I’ll have to vote for someone unapologetically funding genocide with my tax money.
What’s the fucking point of democracy if I still have to vote for genocide in order to avoid the end of “democracy.”
The Democratic National Convention of August, 1968 was in Chicago. It was marked by massive riots, after the April and June assassinations of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr and Democratic POTUS candidate Robert Kennedy, respectively. It was triggered by many issues, including anti-Vietnam War sentiment.
Interestingly, the August, 2024 DNC will be in Chicago. Maybe it’s time for the people of the United States to come together for another “year that breaks America”, and fight for the need to eliminate the DNC/RNC corporate stranglehold and work toward establishing a ranked voting system.
Or we could continue to choose between happy uncle fascist or bloated grifter fascist.
Yeah, you sure show em. Sitting out. Rebel.
Fucking dumb take.
Says the guy with the depopulation username.
lol, sheep. Vote third-party, but for gods sake vote
I was more laughing at you unironically calling people you don’t agree with sheep; it makes you sound like an angsty teen which your reply has just cemented. Baaaa
*conscience
To be fair I don't know that I want to be clearly conscious for this election cycle, or for what come after.
What it adds to the conversation is that you're a fucking idiot and you should be aware of it.
That guy you replied to is an actualcunt by the looks of it. He got very mad at a copypasta. And continued being mad.
third party
In what universe would Trump be a better alternative?
What a ridiculously stupid take. Are you in High School or something? Have you ever heard of the saying “cutting off your nose to spite your face?”
It doesn't matter if you think it's a stupid take or not. Focusing on one person here won't change the fact that enthusiasm for Biden is already low. Telling someone they are stupid because they feel this way certainly won't change their mind and will more likely solidify their position. I think we should be more vocal now about pushing for a different candidate even at this late stage. The polls already show Biden will not get the numbers he did before. The choice between not good and doom just isn't going to motivate the masses this time. The sad truth is that Biden as the nominee is Trumps best chance at a second term.
Polls also showed Hillary was a sure win. Polls don’t matter. VOTING matters. It’s posts like this, or apathetic posts, or posts calling for a 3rd party rather than. Keen that are the ones that cause more damage. Each and every one of these posts should be called out, and I’m sure a good number of them are Russian or Chinese funded disinformation and propaganda campaigns.
That's the most selfish shit. That's people you're talking about burning to the ground.
If this country actually goes for Trump a second time, then fuck the lot of you. You get what you deserve. I'll be fine, but I'll be done worrying about the rest of you. If you're that fucking stupid then you deserve what you get.
He's certainly lost the Muslim vote.
I think you forgot how the voters have the memory of a goldfish
