Protest voters downvoting this: YoU cAn’T bLaMe Me FoR tRuMp!

Fucking morons, the lot of them.

Well you choose to blame the people instead of blaming Biden who can end all of this today and end up winning in a landslide.

The fact that Biden chooses to risk a Trump administration over ending a genocide should be very concerning to the average voter, but Americans of course rather blame the people than their elites. Same shit like with anti Union stances.

Just because I’m blaming protest voters doesn’t mean I’m not blaming Biden. His hands are in no way clean here and his handling of the situation in the Middle East has been horrendous.

All that being said though, I choose realism over idealism. We have a FPTP electoral system in the US. This inevitably results in a binary choice. Come Election Day, every voter is either choosing to enable Biden’s neoliberalism or Trump’s fascism. It is that simple.

I’m making the choice to knowingly be a neoliberal enabler even if I would prefer something else. The reason being is that any other choice makes me a fascist enabler, same for 100% of protest voters whether or not they choose to bury their heads in the sand about it. As such, I’m entitled to think that they are in fact fucking morons, and plenty of people agree with me.

No no, if only we were a little nicer to them, THEN they would be our shining heroes who rode in to save us!

Fuck you back, fascist enabler.

Says the person voting for a genocide enabler. How does that make ANY sense?

I admit I’m enabling the lesser of two evils, you deny enabling the greater of them.

Not voting for either of them is not doing a positive for one of them.

Pick up a civics textbook and figure out why you’re wrong, I’m not going to educate your ignorant ass.
