      Yep there’s a lot of dramatic panic, and it needs to be translated into action not apathy.

      Assassination attempts don’t translate to election wins.

      Stick to the plan, GET OUT AND VOTE!

          You’re making it the only option… like seriously, Biden is not good (a lot of democrats are embarrassed and admitting this too) and if we don’t pick someone else, Trump is 100% going to win this year. You guys need to understand, that debate was god awful for Biden, and now with Trump being nearly assassinated people are going to see him as some sort of martyr. For crying out loud, pick someone else!

            You realize I don’t have the power to do shit by myself. You are a moron man, I’m not the one calling the shots.

              Bro, you can vote for someone else… what do you mean you don’t have power to do shit yourself? Encourage others to do the same. Have fun watching Trump win the election, I guess.

      Nah, just vote for someone other than Trump. If you’re in a swing state, sure. But if you’re in a state that is extremely likely to vote one way or another (as most are), vote your conscience.

      I’m in a deep red state where Biden has almost no chance, so I’m voting for Chase Oliver. He has the widest possible reach of the firmly anti-war candidates we have.

        Voting for anyone other than Biden is dumb beyond belief if you want trump to lose.

          It’s irrelevant in most states. So unless you live in one of the 5-10 swing of states, your vote will not impact the presidential election since the vote gap in your state will probably be >5% one way or another.

          So it’s far more valuable to show support for a third party so candidates get nervous about spoilers and adjust policies to court those votes.

          So unless you live somewhere like Pennsylvania or Michigan where votes can go either way, your vote will matter more if you vote third party.
