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.
Considering... considering... nope, wont support genocide.
Instead youll sit idle by as fascism takes over. You are no less responsible if you dont vote.
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.
and if hilarys votes had gone to jill stein, trump never would have won, either. i guess democrats ought to drop out if they really don't want trump to win.
one has nothing to do with the other. i'm not on with a biden presidency or a trump presidency.
You’re gonna experience one or the other. If you’re American, you can have a say in who it is or you can let everyone else decide.
I'm not going to vote for genocide.
I’m queer. A trump presidency poses the very real chance that I will end up dead far before my time.
Standing aside and letting others choose may well be voting for genocide anyway.
Feel free to sit on your high horse, but whenever you hear about maga people killing people, and they will co time to do so, I hope you think of me and how happy you are that you didn’t vote for genocide.
50 years of biden in power is what brought us trump. don't make the same mistake again.
for $20,000 i'll vote any way you want.
i don't feel morally superior, i'm just doing the right thing. even when others can't or won't.
Literally the definition of high horse.
no, it's not.
this is some mental gymnastics: voting for cornel west is voting AGAINST genocide.
then i guess you better vote for someone who doesn't endorse genocide, so they can beat the R and the D.
