"Every previous president would have ended it by now."
"Biden literally couldn't do worse."
(based on my observations) Hexbear users' typical response is absolutely authoritarian, just extreme left flavor of it.
You can't, however, build a reasonable discourse with an absolutist pro-authoritarian type, no matter how hard you try. And it's no wonder they are going for the authoritarian representative one way or another.
Id argue its not left at all. Simping for authoritarian regimes from the east that mask themselves behind pretty images/words of workers' governments doesnt hand the means of production to the working class, and it most certainly implies one is not so very keen on establishing a classless, cashless, stateless society. They call themselves a dictatorship of the proletariat, but all the emphasis goes on the first part.
Democrats love genocide too much to give it up and improve their poll numbers. Clearly it's the fault of the voters for not giving democrats the votes they're owed for simply not being the fascists who they purposely promote to pretend they're the heroes.
Save democracy by always guaranteeing your vote for the one and only good party that also happens to carry out genocide and fund fascists.
The system in the US necessitates one cast their vote tactically instead of emotionally to effect necessary change, and most of these changes bear out only in the long term by design. Because of this, capital interest toils to encourage voters into precisely the opposite behavior; a populace which is driven to make voting decisions by an atomic, emotionally-charged view of a singular candidate's actions, as opposed to a contextual view of the broader system which enables such actions to begin with, is a populace which is much easier to fragment—and much easier to control.
Meaningful change requires a path to follow, but results by a reformist method alone come painfully slow—again, by the system's very design. It's more comfortable to believe that rallying behind a third party advocating radical change is the better way, but power has been consolidated so heavily into the largest two parties that the effectiveness of any others (outside of very specific circumstances) is gutted almost entirely. It has been this way especially since the campaign finance mal-reforms that followed the Bush v Gore race. Abstaining from participation or jumping to a niche cause in protest of atrocities that are occurring now is an understandable sentiment, but in a system tuned to overlook and perpetuate said atrocities it's missing the bigger picture.
Try not to look at your vote as a wholesale endorsement; look at it instead as a carefully-considered stake in the ultimate goal to tear down the walls which have kept third parties unfairly irrelevant for decades—centuries, arguably. Stake it with the goal of working to reform or abolish unjust systems. Stake it with the goal of laying the groundwork for more radical progressive change in the future.
Despite all I've attempted to lay out, if you insist on voting third party anyways, I urge you to find someone to vote for and make that your movement to stand in contrast against reprehensible genocide-enabling. The time for such a nomination is long overdue, and as it stands a candidate does not seem to currently exist in a way capable of capturing the majority of Americans' votes—especially in time for election day. This means a lot of work needs to be done if that's your ultimatum to the current situation, I encourage you to start as soon as you are able. Please understand that the third party route is not only victory or bust, but a bust means the genocide gets considerably and immediately worse if you rally too many to your cause who would have cast their vote for Biden otherwise. This outcome has an extremely well-established historical precedent in the United States, having happened multiple times in elections past, and will continue to be a concern unless/until vote tally reforms are adopted. Such are the considerations in US electoral tactics.
