    Stop doing that you insufferable pea-brained dolt.

    Not voting for Biden doesn’t mean I’m voting for Trump.

    Idiots like you sit there like your vote is a party popper you MUST use to show if your streamers and confetti are blue or red.

    I am disgusted with the options I am presented with. I get no streamers or confetti…

    Unless Biden condemns the Israeli genocide of Palestine and champions imposing massive embargoes on Israel while fully ceasing any funding in full.

    Then I might believe he (and the DNC) are humbling WAY the fuck up, listening to their constituents, and correcting course is the SMALLEST of ways.

      I vote for anyone but Biden, or even a no vote, is a vote for Trump.

      If you think Palestine is in bad shape under Biden, try to imagine how much worse it’d be with Trump.

      The only way to get Democrat candidates on the left is to crush the right wing so that the Overton window moves.

        You are the uncle Tom piece of shit that has lead this country here.

        I do not vote for Biden. I do not vote for Trump.

        You can’t make me.

        Your rhetoric is outdated, idiotic, and counter-productive.

          Nobody is going to make you vote one way or another, but please recognize the following:

          The United States is currently a two party system. It sucks. We need to push for more ranked choice voting, as well as direct popular vote.

          However, until we’re able to achieve something that makes this parties viable, we will continue to have issues with the right wing getting undue influence in our politics.

          Vote with your heart, but make sure that you’re okay with another Trump presidency of you decide not to vote for Biden.

          Keep in mind as you do so that more than one state had enough votes for Jill Stein that if they had gone to Hillary, Trump never would have become president.

          We should have viable parties outside of the two not great to horrible parties we have now. But that’s simply not the way our government works as it stands now.

          Last thing: you’ve become a single issue voter. This is the lefty equivalent of only caring about abortion and ignoring literally everything else. Politics is complicated, and I personally find single issue voters incredibly shortsighted and lazy.

                Biden. Is. Funding. Genocide.

                He is actively exploiting Bush era “emergency powers” that were never rolled back after 9/11 to sell artillery to Israel.

                He is fascist too.

                This is what happens when you let soft brained morons convince you that supporting lesser evil is mandatory. You support evil and both sides continually get worse.
