Biden closes gap on Trump but third-party candidates pose danger, polls show - Lemmy.World

The first Trump criminal trial starts tomorrow. Trump’s fundraising is being crushed by Biden. RNC is hurting for cash and what is there is being gobbled up by Trump’s lawyers. Down ballot candidates will have zero assistance.

Republicans are facing the most devastating defeat in their history. Polling has been garbage for two election cycles. Just look at the writing on the wall. Trump is running on fumes and it’s only going to get worse.

Vote anyway.
Absolutely. Not voting is a vote for the candidate you don’t like.
No. Voting for the candidate you don’t like is voting for the candidate you don’t like.

If the Republic plunges into a dark age, for example because democracy ended, and you stayed home when your contribution could have prevented it, you’re still sharing in the blame. No amount of smug self-righteousness will wind back the clock. You already have one previous devastating administration and an insurrection worth of warning.

Do you want to keep the Republic, or not?

Imagine describing not supporting genocide as “smug”…

We’re in this predicament directly due to 40 years of neoliberal strategy. There’s no one to blame but people who continue to reward “less evil” dems with power.

Do you want to keep the Republic, or not?

Corporates Dems are Republicans. When are you guys going to grasp this?

The genocide argument is a really bad one. Yes the Biden administration is culpable. The Trump administration would pump more money into it and start parading around the genocide like it’s a good thing.

There’s voting for the side who might get tired of the public opposition and stop funding that shit, or letting the genocidal wannabe dictator win.

You’re thinking in terms of a single election cycle. That’s why neoliberals are able to keep doing this every single election, how they get you to accept genocide.

No I’m thinking in terms of we cannot revive the dead so let’s not put the genocidal wannabe dictator in power for 4 years. I clearly can’t stop what’s currently happening but I’m sure as hell not going to vote in a way that results in more people dying more quickly.

You mistake accepting genocide with trying to prevent a worse genocide.
