Situation sucks. But, with Cheeto chimp it'll suck 1000X more.
Don't be complacent. Don't be apathetic.
How exactly os trump worse than the guy aiding in a genocide?
Tell the DNC to pick a candidate worth voting for. Esp one not beholden to the MIC like Trump and Biden.
"If you don't give me something better, I'll default to the objectively worse choice and fuck myself over out of spite."
Conservative logic. Except it's a lie, the only way you'd vote for anyone but a corporate fascist is if the other guy was an even bigger corporate fascist. You are 100% fine with the status quo, because you happen to profit from it. Or fear, could be straight up fear.
The logic you're using is really dumb coming from someone not in the ruling class.
Your one bit of power is to say, "I'll vote for you if you put forth a candidate I can get behind." The second you accept the terms of "you have to vote for X, because Y is worse" you lose all political power. They can do anything they want. They can lie about anything. They don't have to do anything to fight for your vote.
I'm just sick of this smug bullshit from people practicing "real politik". You don't live in a democracy, you're openly admitting it, and you can't even see it.
Okay but you're living in a fantasy world. In reality, it's a 2 party system and you vote for the guy who will fuck you over least. Project 2025 is the plan. Let's not have Project 2025 come to fruition.
This is what your attitude will bring into fruition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
I wonder if you're a member of one of the minorities who will end up second-class citizens, if citizens at all, if they achieve their goals.
The astroturfing on this thread is insane.
If the system shows nothing but contempt for the people, it shouldn't be surprised when the people reciprocate that.
The people don't need America, America needs the people. They have zero responsibility to save the failing system from itself.
Fuck off with your astroturfing unproductive non-takes. Biden is perfectly viable. Beholden to the mic? You think that's the biggest issue this election cycle?
You're the one picking the old ass man. AstroTurf my ass.
