As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.
I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.
biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence
their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit
Smh at these tankies whining about minor issues like genocide. We gotta stop with these insane purity tests. They should focus on what really matters instead, passing that border bill and getting more machine gun turrets built.
Ahhh! It is literally an endorsement! Voting for Biden tells him and the Democrats that genocide is acceptable to their voter base. It doesn't matter what polls say if people vote for the Dems they will keep supporting genocide because that's what a vote is, it's an endorsement of that candidate and their policies.
For a long time I was of the mindset that its not an endorsement, because internally an endorsement of all of their policies was not why I was voting for Democrats. I had a similar mindset to this person, I wanted to elect Democrats because I felt like less people get hurt that way. Trolley problem shit. And I had a terrible time getting over that mindset.
I still have a bit of trouble getting over that mindset, and the sentence "a vote is an endorsement" still gives me a bit of a ??? reaction.
But I think it was the realization that they see it as an endorsement that did it for me though. Like it doesnt matter what I think my vote is about really.
a chess move is when you keep playing the same move like it's checkers and going
when it has the same results.
patzer sees blue, patzer votes blue
they just can't stop talking out of both sides of their mouth. voting for the "lesser of two evils" is just pragmatism in a broken system, but also if you imply that we could win any concessions from power by withholding our votes you're delusional and if you question the necessity of preserving such a fundamentally broken system you're selfish and if so much as mention the possibility of breaking the law in this moment of total crisis, you're a radical terrorist.
