You get it! We can't fuck over vulnerable people. We can't abandon minorities and LGBT people. Even if we let things get worse to the point of a societal collapse, a lot of people will die because of it -- and societal collapse has not historically led to better societies down the road.
That's such an important point. Anyone who thinks a win by Trump will somehow speed up the advent of socialism is just deluded.
I am here to regretfully inform you about the state of american rail infrastructure...
My trans friends are what keeps me committed to voting Biden no matter how disappointed I am in him. Things are already really scary for them right now and I can't be complicit in making them worse, even through inaction.
As a transwoman as well, I second this!
Don't let the fascist win!
I'd suggest taking a flight overseas the day after the elections, booked prior to it. If Trump losses, you can use it to celebrate it. If he wins... well, you can ask for asylum on arrival.
I am trans and not voting for Biden. I refuse to sacrifice Palestinians for my own safety or the safety of my loved ones. All the stuff people say now about them being an acceptable sacrifice or there being nothing they can do about it, that's what they'll be saying about us tomorrow. Solidarity between marginalized groups is the only viable strategy for long term survival.
I hate being used as a rhetorical token to make people feel better about selling out another vulnerable group.
If you actually cared you would vote biden. No one capable of it will save the Palestinians. None. At least with biden someone survives.
If our "democracy" has decayed to the point where I'm not able to vote on whether or not we do a genocide, then it is not a democracy and I should not legitimize the sham through participation.
There is no circumstance under which I will support genocide. If that means I die, then I will die. If any of you had a backbone you'd do the same. And if enough people drew that line, they'd have no choice but to listen to us.
Oh, does Biden support ranked choice voting, then?
He doesn't. I'm not going to support asshole after asshole in the vain hope that maybe out of the kindness of their hearts they'll eventually give us freedom, which directly opposes their own interests. You're the one that needs to grow up if you believe that fairy tale.
I don't know. But more dems then reps do
You know, I used to be a lot more extreme than I am now. When I was younger, I said I wouldn't vote for anyone unless they were going to reform the system to where I wouldn't have to vote for a lesser evil anymore, demanding that our rulers give up their power.
Now, all I'm asking is that they stop slaughtering people. They can rule over us in their sham democracy, if they would just stop killing all these people. They won't even do that. So again, my answer is "Hell no, fuck off." Biden is my enemy and I will oppose him just as I oppose Trump, regardless of what the odds are. Again, anyone with a spine and a conscience should be doing the same.
Nope. There is no reasoning with me on this, my position is absolute and set in stone. You want my vote, get a better candidate. No other option, period.
They will flinch first. And if they don't, then we'll go to hell together. You're wasting your time with me.
Then you might as well go goose stepping right along side those trumpers
Well, if not voting for Trump counts as supporting him, then rest assured that Biden will have my "support."
I'm not lifting a finger to help either of them. If Trump wins, it'll be because the Democrats nominated that senile, genocidal corporate sycophant. It's their job to win elections, not mine. I've heard you people try to shift all blame away from your shitty party and onto the left a thousand times before. You're wasting your time. As I said, I don't give a shit. Fix the party, win without me, or lose. Your choice, I've made mine.
I hate the dnc too. But I am not a fucking child who thinks the world should revolve around me
And it's your job to vote. Freedom isn't free. At least show you tried and send in a blank balllit
I intend to vote for a third party.
I know that you think I'm throwing a childish fit. That's because, fundamentally, you don't consider Palestinians to be human beings, just as your kind didn't see Iraqis or Afghans as human when they were being slaughtered. To you, this is just some random pet issue I've taken up to feel good about myself. But it's not. I have nothing but hatred for Biden and people like him, and I have incredibly good reason for that. "Genocide" isn't just a word, it's not something to be casually brushed aside. It must be opposed, everything else be damned. If you genuinely attempted to see the world from their perspective, you would understand.
Someday the democrats will decide that us trans people are too much of a liability and throw us under the bus too, and you'll rationalize it by placing us in the exact same subhuman category you use whenever they murder a million people in the Middle East. Call me childish all you want, you're just telling on yourself about how seriously you take their deaths.
And here we go again. Once someone from a marginalized group exposes the lack of backbone and the insincerity of you, you attack him personally and suggest him to be part of "the enemy". It is funny in a sad way because this reads exactly like /r/conservative over on reddit, when people challenged the current Trump narrative.
Or maybe if the average American stood with the marginalized instead of yelling at them to fall in line, we wouldn't constantly have issues where the marginalized are systemically murdered and imprisoned. The blood isn't on their hands for having morals and boundaries. It's on the masses who refuse to give up even an ounce of comfort to lend a hand to the downtrodden. The path the democrats are on is the same path the current republicans have walked before.
Who are you willing to sacrifice for your own comfort? Why is that a valid position? Because the other guy points that same weapon at you instead and it's scary? How many different groups are you willing to put on that sacrifice list until you just turn into a fascist republican? "Just following orders" is just as cowardly a response as "It was my only choice".
I respect this decision. But, I’m selfishly voting for Biden. Trump’s first term stressed me out.
Tbh I'm fine with respectful disagreement.
Thoughtful, educated and informed voting decisions should be respected. Shame on this duopoly for forcing its electorate to choose between tacit support for a genocide, and outright fascism.
Thank you. I have to vote according to my conscience and what I believe is right, but if someone else's conscience tells them differently, I can make my case but ultimately it is their decision to make. So many people on here expect everyone to think and see things the exact same way as them and can't even seem to imagine someone having different values or a different perspective, and that can be very frustrating.
That's what you're doing when voting for Dems.
Go educate yourself, and then you can join the adult discussions.
