I’m just tryna vote for the lesser, by far, of two evils. It’s a fucking binary system, you can stomp your feet all you want and still get a genocide and possibly much worse, or you can at least preserve hope for a better future.
Same but in the mean time I'm going to continue to donate and help push for progressives and those who keep fighting to get rid of the bullshit first past the post voting system and electoral college bullshit.
It's reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally simple:
Voting Biden in gives us time to take all this energy we're mustering up and using it to promote broader, more significant changes. We don't stop at the election and instead use the next four years to push toward a better tomorrow.
Too many people are stopping at Trump v. Biden. Too many more are stopping at Them v "The System".
Change takes time. When you vote for Biden, you vote to reset the clock, and then it's time for all of us to get to work.
Exactly. If Trump wins, he will outright BAN the Democratic Party, at worst. We will all either be Republicans, or we will be prisoners. And if that happens, the only group with the means to oppose him and the GOP Fascists is gone. And yes, the DNC absolutely has the means. They have all the tools they need. Now, I will admit that they lack the will to use those tools, but if Trump wins they'll never get the chance to use them.
Hope for whom? A better future for whom? If personal selfishness outweighs the value of humanity, then we’ve already lost, and the outcome of the election is irrelevant.
The gay and trans people who won't get murdered? The women who won't die in abortive childbirth?
Are there not gay and trans people in Palestine right now? Or is it only American LGBTQIA 🏳️🌈 folks that matter?
You're arguing in bad faith. Everyone should know this guy.is a false flag right wing nutbag.
CHECK HIS POST HISTORY HE DOESNT ARGUE IN GOOD FAITH
That’s a Thought-terminating cliché.
It’s entirely possible that there are multiple points of view concerning this conflict and the upcoming election. Please, look at my post history, it might be inciteful.
What a Freudian slip lol
Uh oh are we throwing a tantrum bc someone doesn't agree with you? Grow up cx
Also Idk if Guy Levi has anything to do with this, it's prob best you leave him be 🌸
Haha are you ... serious? You know what Palestinians do to gay people, right? Right?
Is it worse than a genocide?
Yes.
How?
