Biden’s numbers among young voters have slid during his presidency from the high margins that helped him beat Trump. Several former supporters explain why.
If there were a viable third option I would vote for them. Being moral in this situation means Trump would get elected and my family would be victims of political violence while that same apathetic blind eye turns away from us. It's a personal threat to my physical safety if Trump is elected.
I'm not asking you to be a superhero who ends all war, I'm telling you that when you support Joe Biden you're actively supporting a current ongoing genocide that he's facilitating. It's not that I'm criticizing you for not doing enough for others, I'm criticizing you for actively aiding a genocide. All you have to do is stop doing that.
People who decline to aid and abet a genocide are a better people than people who agree to help aid and abet that genocide.
I don't support his actions.
But I have to vote against trump or else my family and myself will be dragged from our home and shot by radicals.
A vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for Trump in my state.
I'm working to move away from these radicals but it's expensive and time consuming and I likely will not be able to do that before the 24 election
Voting for someone is literally supporting his actions.
You'll be complicit in a genocide for the rest of your life. I recognize that this won't sway you but I want you to know what good people are going to think of you going forward.
In the coming days, and for the rest of your life; when you close your eyes, may the voices of those whose blood you've decided to wash your hands in devil you from your rest, and chase you through the emptied catacombs of your mind until the sun comes back up.
I was going to vote for Biden but now I won't because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they've even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.
Who says I give a fuck about humanity? We've shown ourselves time and time again to do the selfish thing to fuck people over. Guess what? I'm one of them. My selfish thing is "I don't want to be murdered by terrorists." There are terrorists over there and there are terrorists next door. Which one is imminently a threat to me? Not the one that is across the planet. But the second Trump gets power, he has said he will not prosecute terrorists.
Ugh, another "Humans are inherently bad" edgelord projecting their solipsism and historical illiteracy for all to see. If humans are so bad, why are you so concerned with sparing yourself, or with who dies for that matter? No, your faux-world weary nihilism is just a paper-thin cover for your atavistic selfishness. You don't want to have to think about the mountain of skulls we were born on top of, you just want to go back to consuming cheap treats while the real terrorists do the killing for you, and you can't even be bothered to construct more than the most half-assed epistemology to soothe the little part of you that knows you're choosing to be a monster.
Fascism isn't a risk or a possibility, it's fucking here. It's been here, except it's not evenly distributed. It will continue to be unevenly distributed even after it engulfs you, and you will look back and see your former cohort making excuses and reassuring themselves that there was nothing poor little them could have done to save you. First they came for the communists, then they came for the immigrants, then they came for the lgbtq, now they're coming for the Palestinians. You can either cower and smugly support their genocides until they come for you too, or you can realize that no individual ever makes a difference, and throw your weight in with the mass of humanity who you currently oppose with your dead-end ideological lethargy. "Oh you have to vote for the blue genocider and not the red one", how about fuck that, both of those ghouls and the empire they serve must die so that humanity can live.
if you really want to make the sane and realistic choice at this juncture in history, then it's time to grow the fuck up and become a communist.
He's not turning a blind eye, he's actively facilitating a genocide.
Many people are more moral than you and refuse to support anyone supporting a genocide.
"Turning a blind eye" - that guy
"There will absolutely not be any conditions on our aid to Isreal, the only condition is defending isreal" - Biden
Sounds like he's got his eye pretty squarely on the prize to me
If there were a viable third option I would vote for them. Being moral in this situation means Trump would get elected and my family would be victims of political violence while that same apathetic blind eye turns away from us. It's a personal threat to my physical safety if Trump is elected.
right, so you care more about you and yours than millions of people in palestine. sounds about white
Yes. It's not my job to stop all the wars in the world. I'm not going to sacrifice myself for that because it wouldn't make a difference.

you guys need to shut the fuck up already
"Wahh stop making me think about why my children will one day put me in a home wahhh"
The gore on your hands will never wash off, hog.
EDIT: Sorry my previous comment was uncivil.
Rephrased: I will not be ordered around by someone voting for genocide.

Motherfucker it's your job as an alleged human being to at least not actively support it

Oh well shit, better kill millions of others to slightly delay it then. Carry on, my good liberal.
