One side is working to dismantle democracy. The other side is not. If you don’t vote blue you are enabling Republicans to enact Project 2025. You would enable Republicans to take away rights from LGBT people in America. You would enable abortion bans and enable even more of the genocide in Gaza. You would enable Republicans to do all the types of stuff listed in the meme, and they will try.

I am convinced some of the far left that won’t vote for Biden because of the war in Gaza are being influenced by Republicans. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those people are Republicans trying to get people not to vote for Biden. It may not be an ideal situation, but if you don’t vote for Biden because you think he is handling the war in Gaza horribly, you are doing exactly what the Republicans want you to do. Maybe someday we’ll be able to vote for someone better than him. But for now, you have to understand the reality of our two party system, and deal with it. At the very least, don’t do what the Republicans would want you to do: staying home rather than going out and voting for Biden

staying home rather than going out and voting for Biden

I’m not going to stay home. I’m going to go to the polling place and leave that part empty on the ballot.

Here’s the bottom line: I cannot bring myself to officially support someone who I admit is an active supporter of genocide. Listen to yourselves. You are literally saying that I should feel bad because I won’t support someone who is actively supporting genocide. They are carpet bombing children, intentionally starving them, denying them medical care, all because of their ethnicity. He is expediting military aid to make sure they can.

I wouldn’t vote for Hitler just because I believed his opponent was worse. The reason I wouldn’t vote for Hitler is because of the genocide. I have to draw a line somewhere. If anything, I should probably have drawn it somewhere before genocide.

BTW, I’m not saying you’re a bad person if you do vote for Biden, or even that I’m somehow better for not. I get it. I just can’t bring myself to do it.

You are a bad person if you don’t vote against Trump.

I’m voting against Trump and Biden. biden spent 50 years in power making trump possible.

So you are voting for Trump.

no, I’m probably voting for Jill Stein again, but I haven’t stopped donating to cornel west yet

So Trump supporter, got it. Please don’t fucking be registered in Wisconsin. Be useless somewhere else, thanks.

neither of them are trump. I think you have problems with reading comprehension.

and Im not registered in Wisconsin but I am in a swing state that went Obama Obama Trump Biden.

When Trump wins your state, just know that you are personally responsible.

the only people responsible for trump winning are people who vote for him

If you simply look at the numbers, you will see that if for example trump gets 10 votes and biden gets 8. The people who have not voted for either one in this scenario are enabling Trump to win. This is only relevant in swing states though

The only candidate enabled by any vote is the candidate for whom that vote was cast

That is correct but you’re still allowing the worse of two options to happen by not voting for the “better” but not good option

I’m going to vote for someone I want to win. I have a policy of not voting for people I don’t want to win

Which would be valid if the US had an actual democracy and not whatever the current system is

it’s valid regardless of your analysis.

Valid might have been a weird choice of words. I meant that your way of voting only works out in an actual democracy. The opinion is valid either way
