So look, I’m all for a complete revamp of this trash electoral system and the shitty “government” it allegedly controls, but until we have a unified movement of hundreds of millions of people behind that, it isn’t happening without years of instability and many failed attempts.
Yes, no duh, but I mean options that are practical for me to do until other people finally agree to organize/unionize and make everything better for each other
I have a single vote that I can use in the 2024 presidential election. There are two ways that vote can go. One is a vote for the funding of the extermination of the Palestinian people, and the other is a vote for the funding of the extermination of the Palestinian people AND the extermination of whatever shred of American democracy there is left.
Tell me, is there some other way I can use my vote that has a good chance of making a difference or are we all just as fucked as it seems like we are?
I admit that my vote for Biden is a portion of the reason Biden’s in office, and Biden being in office is a portion of the reason the USA is funding genocide. No I’m not fucking proud of it.
What’s the viable AND better alternative to Biden in 2024?
The only difference I’ve seen between Trump and Biden is now that Biden is president libs scream at progressives to stop complaining because it makes them look bad.
Well that and when republican was president dems said tou had tonvote for them or else we’d lose abortion access, transgender people would lose rights, and covid would run rampant.
So we all voted for Biden and now there’s no abortion protection, Trans people are loosing rights, we ignored the oandemic and cut all relief efforts, and now we’re supporting and funding the worst genocide in a generation.
If you’re going to argue you’re the lesser of two evils you might want to try being less evil.
When Trump was president Pelosi was dressing up in fucking African garments pretending to support those ideas.
Bidens president and they’re all voting to establish that criticizing Isreal is antisemitism.
Rank and file liberals are literally worse under a democratic president.
Biden and Trump are equally evil and either of them being president is a disaster for the world. They’re exactly the same in terms of political outcome and I’m never issuing support for either, both are imperialist and responsible for genocide. I’m never voting for either, even if it would simply be ceremonial.
And don’t even come with me with I’ll be responsible for Trump then. I don’t care. I do not see any difference between the two. I live in Texas anyway so my presidential vote simply doesn’t matter.
Not gonna get that by rolling over for the democrats as they continue to become more and more right wing. Your support is part of the problem. You wanna move a party left? Deny them power until they do or why would they bother? They already have your support even if you hate them. You’re their sub
I’m gonna spend about 3 hours researching the local positions where my vote counts and leave everything where my vote has already been decided for me blank. Then, I’ll use all the extra time I saved from not pouring my brain down the drain watching endless election coverage to instead do some mutual aid, which has already saved several lives this winter. Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Joe Biden.
Who would you vote for? What would doing so accomplish?
Right back at ya bud. Now you are getting it.
So look, I’m all for a complete revamp of this trash electoral system and the shitty “government” it allegedly controls, but until we have a unified movement of hundreds of millions of people behind that, it isn’t happening without years of instability and many failed attempts.
So yes, I’ll vote for the lesser of two evils.
Ok genocide enjoyer
You’ve never chosen the lesser of two evils because you didn’t have any other practical options?
There are, in fact, other practical options
Yes, no duh, but I mean options that are practical for me to do until other people finally agree to organize/unionize and make everything better for each other
Not voting for the extermination of the Palestinian people is a good compromise measure until then

Stay home and jack off?

Oh, in that case you’ve convinced me. Solid point, and well-articulated at that.

Nobody’s trying to convince you, we’re several decades past expecting liberals to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

Nobody. Nothing by voting.
Which is exactly the same as what you’re going to accomplish.
Giving a homeless person a dollar does more to improve the lives of the vulnerable in this country than voting for a Democrat.
What would voting for Biden accomplish?
Keeping Trump out of the oval office is extremely important if I want to be allowed to vote again in my lifetime.
How? He was there before and you got to vote. Also whst has voting done for you so far?
