Voting is not about putting your support behind a candidate or identifying with them, it’s a strategic decision taken to advance your goals.
maybe for you, but your values aren't universal.
It seems pretty clear that queer people would be persecuted a hell of a lot more under Trump than Biden.
from what i can tell, it's getting wors, not better, in the last 5 years. i have no reason to believe it would get better with either of them.
We are never ever ever getting different nominees.
not as long as
democrats
think that they
don't need to
they will never ever ever give up power peacefully
never ever ever
getting different nominees.
i'm still workshopping it but i think it's a worthwhile endeavor. i'm open to more re-writes or suggestions.
can you substantiate this claim?
you may never have a real vote again.
when was there ever a real vote?
preventing an overt fascist and his sycophantic supporters and enablers from winning the next election, further dismantling (small-d) democratic institutions in our country, and likely attempting to turn the country into a weird hybrid of a kleptocratic monarchy and an extremely nepotistic aristocracy?
are they fascist, mornarchic, or aristocratic?
Third party is typical a vote for Republicans.
a so-called third party vote is a vote for the so-called third party.
That is a choice to support the only insurrectionist in the race, which is probably the point of your comment to begin with.
there is no insurrectionist candidate, except maybe cornel west, but i'd say he's more black nationalist.
It is a sad fact that a vote for anyone but the two biggest parties (in almost every country) is essentially wasted.
soundl like voter suppression tactics.
By not voting you’re helping to elect whoever you prefer less.
only votes for a candidate help elect that candidate.
this is the bit that i found most objectionable. almost all the rhetoric around an election talks about support: financial, popular, or political.
voting is definitely supporting a candidate, pretty much any way you slice it.
