'again' acting like an ignorant jackass like yourself had ever voted for him in the first place. If you're even an American and eligible to vote.
stfu and fuck right off.
Holy moly you did it, you solved all the problems.
you should run for the DNC board.
Deal, how do I do that?
Yeah, that's what the primary is for.
In the general, why would I vote in any way that does not directly contribute to ensuring that Trump is not elected?
There are 2 potential outcomes for the general election, and many fights to continue.
Of those 2 outcomes, which will provide the more advantageous political terrain to have those battles on?
Trump stacked the supreme court which allowed Roe v Wade to be overturned which has had disastrous consequences.
You're delusional.
Why are you pretending these are mutually exclusive?
Hell, none of what you said is mutually exclusive with voting for Biden.
We should be prepared for all eventualities. You can take a few hours out of one day counting your bullets to go cast a vote that might save democracy.
That's definitely a risk, and the closer the election, the more likely that is.
Regardless. If Trump wins, democracy is over. If Biden wins, it will be a fight. I'd rather a fight than a sure loss.
Every President I've ever voted for has lost in my state. So if you want me to vote for Joe Biden, that's fine. But when he loses in my state, its on your head.
No, it very literally is on the residents of your state who didn't vote for him's heads.
Get a grip lmao
voting combined with superstition......... Great!!!111
You really gonna show us.
Pst, Bidens stance on Isreal was well known before the 2020 election.
Please, tell me. What is Obamas stance on isreal?
So you vote based on slogans alone and I'm suppose to give a shit about your opinion?
I guess what I'm getting at is you still have some maturing to do.
.... so genocide stops if Biden loses the election?
Why, because some idiot, yourself, doesn't know how voting works they will then proceed to not vote?
If my vote can't give me free ice cream why even vote at all!!!
I could. Wouldn't even effect the outcome in my state. Down ballot is what I show up for.
Still voting Biden because ill put my vote where it actually has a chance of mattering. Third party is a scam. Third party needs grass roots, any other supposed means is a scam.
Let me make sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that opposition to genocide is comparable with wanting "free ice cream?"
So youre saying you not voting will have an effect on the genocide in gaza?
In the trolly problem, not pulling the lever results in more people dieing.
No, I didn't say that.
Well then I couldn't possibly be comparing ice cream to genocide because the supposition is the belief that voting will have an effect on receiving ice cream.
I asked if you were comparing opposition to genocide to wanting "free ice cream!" The efficacy of voting has no relevance to that question!
I was relating how individual wants aren't negotiated by voting using ice cream as an example. Also voting only in a presidential election is the bare minimum to participating in American democracy. To credit yourself with absolute moral authority you would have to exhaust yourself more than just doing the bare minimum.
Hold it!
Do you consider opposition to genocide to be an "individual want?"
Do you not?????
Otherwise if society has said it is OK then you wouldn't have a problem would you?
Of course not! And it's completely absurd to say that it is!
For any reasonable, decent person, opposition to genocide is not merely a want, but an unshakable moral foundation! Only someone truly depraved could possibly see opposition to genocide as a mere "want," akin to a passing desire to eat ice cream!
You're being purposefully obtuse.
Vote how ya like, but consider using the extra free time to campaign for electoral reform in your state. How we vote is controlled at the state level, so we don't need to wait for federal reform to do something about First Past The Post voting.
That way there is a little bit bigger chance a 3rd party more to your liking would be created. Nothing is for certain, but this is our one life so we gotta take the shot.
Trump supporter.
If you don't try to stop Trump, you're a collaborator.
