I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

    I dont like trump, but there is no evidence he is going to be a dictator. If I had to pick between him and Biden, I would definetly pick trump because Biden is 10x more dangerous to democracy than Trump. The issue is the narrative that was told people believe. Like the narrative about the GA votes, if you read the narrative, it seems that he is talking about bad votes, not just votes.

      So what’s the evidence that Biden is dangerous for democracy? How?

      Why is what I believe a narrative and what you believe is true? Although what you are saying is harder to believe given the things trump has already done in the past.

      Joe Biden is the president now and democracy is fine. The only thing that could ruin democracy if he wins is if Trump lies about winning again and tries to plan another riot.

      Also what he says are “bad votes” were just votes against him. Of course he thinks they are bad if they make him lose lol. Why would you believe him but if Joe Biden said the same thing you wouldn’t?

        The votes his was referring to he claims were fraudulent. I am not saying I agree they were fraudulent, I am just telling you that I have seen no evidence that he was trying to flop votes.

        He is the threat to democracy by staying silent throughout the justice departments russian inquiry into trump, his dictatorial executive orders by trying semi-force vaccinations and loan forgiveness, his lack of action or comment when the main candidate is being attacked by states and the federal government, and his overall rhetoric about how trump and his supporters will end everything. And that doesnt even get into the fundemental risk he has put the whole world in with how he and the rest of the government has put us in with Ukraine.

            Its the part where he takes power that he does not have and does a thing, that is what dictators do to get their power, they seize the power.
