Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report - LemmyHub

I will vote for Biden if he ends his support for genocide. That’s it. That’s all I need to vote for him. I just want that one thing, even after he let me down by breaking the rail strike and continuing brutal anti-immigration and doing nothing abiut over policing and expanding American oil and stopping peace negotiations in Ukraine.

Just this one thing.

If that’s too much to ask, he won’t get my vote.

Yup. Ending genocide is not on the ballot. Keeping American democracy on life support is on the ballot. And if we lose it because of this childish bullshit, abstainers in 2023 are to blame. You’re as useless as the Dem voters we’re already desperately trying to activate off the couch. Worst part is you’re doing it on purpose. You’re voting for Trump. It doesn’t matter how you feel. This is a fact. We’re hanging on by a thread and you’re whining to your own comrades about your feelings and discomfort. Vote far left down ballot. Elect a democratic president. Otherwise fuck yourself, your words mean literally nothing when you’re hauled off to camp from your family or put on the wall. Thanks for your opinions.

America has never been a democracy. 🙄

Also, I’m not voting for Trump! I’m even voting left down ballot, I’m just not voting for Biden specifically.

If Trump wins and Democrats control both chambers, what the hell can he even do? Bloviate? I guess maybe he’ll do some executive orders that the 6-3 Court will uphold, but if Democrats aren’t worthless cowards they’ll just refuse to enforce his orders and it won’t matter anyway.

If you’re not afraid of the commander and chief of the military being Trump, being worse for what’s happening in the middle east, you are asleep.

There is no guarantee that the Dems will take both chambers. Your plan to increase protest voting in support for trump sounds a lot like when Hillary told Bernie bros that she didn’t need them, and they said they wouldn’t vote for her in that case.

We ended up with Trump, not by popular vote, but by just enough. Trump has praised the Israeli military. If this is your single issue, then siding with Trump won’t improve any fait in the middle east.

There’s no guarantee we won’t already be in WW3 before the election (Israel is trying its best) so it’s hard to game things out that far.

Also, Trump has praised Hezbollah’s military. The guy is a clown and just says whatever pops in his head.

Look, I can’t tell you how to vote, that’s a person matter.

But as a veteran I’d sleep a lot more sound with someone who isn’t a clown holding the nuclear launch codes.

Project 2025 should scare the hell out of you. apnews.com/…/election-2024-conservatives-trump-he…

I mean, you do you tho… If I could say anything I’d be to try not to vote on feelings or single issues alone. There’s always another election, unless of course, there’s a literal plan to replace the government and not do that anymore…

Conservative groups draw up plan to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump’s vision

With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump. The conservative organizations are recruiting thousands of Americans to travel to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to Trump's own. The Project 2025 effort is being led by the Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials with a nearly 1,000-page how-to book. They want to shrink government from within by firing up to 50,000 federal workers whom Republicans call “deep state” bureaucrats.

There are so many issues that I oppose Biden on, this isn’t single issue. After betraying the railroad workers, after betraying migrants and refugees, after betraying over-policed and hyper-incarcerated minorities, how can I just accept yet another thing to hate about Biden? When will it end? I will not lay down and let him have his way with me because Trump is worse.

This is just the red line. Here and no further. If you let Biden do anything he wants to you and beg for more, why would he ever stop?

At least Biden tolerates dissent and Dems rarely agree on anything entirely.

Wait till you see what the let’s start an insurrection , have secret service try election fraud, try to kidnap the vice president, fuckboi has in store for us.

I won’t lie down because Biden isn’t perfect. So therefore I’ll whore for the person that is worse on the majority of the issues I care about?

At least when it was about Hillary vs Bernie you could appear to be arguing in good faith, that one would. E a better choice. Now it just appears as bitter that things won’t be perfect so it should all be burnt down.

You do realize if Trump loses the Republican primaries you’re gonna have to come up with a brand new narrative to explain why we have to vote for Biden right?

So if Trump lost the Republican primaries that would change the entire calculus. I didn’t say you had to vote for Biden under all possible circumstances. Just that not voting for Biden would be basically voting for Trump (the worse option) because we don’t use ranked choiced voting in this country and due to first past the poll only have two parties.

You do you though, if you want to be bitter, go for it. But I’d rather be really bitter with the DNC and with Biden than watch a TV star clown dismantle democracy for the lolz.

Save your lectures for the assholes who voted for Biden in the primaries.

I’m going to lecture the idiot that doesn’t understand democracy and doesn’t think voting works, cuz you know, age demographics mean that each one of these election cycles if a few more young people vote things might quickly change. But you don’t want to vote in a real candidate in a primary in 4 years. You just want to cry a river now.

Go for it. Continue to convince yourself and the kids not to vote and continue to bitch about both sides when you can’t even be bothered to try.
