    I am not voting for either, it’s not an endorsement of either one. that’s just how it is.

    I’d rather it be Biden, but I’m not voting for him.

    Maybe you can answer why you care so much about policing wrongthink from otherwise powerless people on a heavily pro-democrat website. Your guy’s in power and he’s doing terrible things with it.

      Kind of bad you want something but won’t move to accomplish a goal that is beneficial not only for you, but also for people with the same minority status as you.

        Kind of bad of you to be trying to guilt people into voting for the genocide guy on the basis of their marginalized status, that or it’s like you’re making a threat.

          Fuck off. You’re not being persecuted by Lemmy comments. Actual persecution would involve what Donald Trump wants to do to multiple minorities.

            You’re just intentionally misinterpreting what I’m saying. You are trying to browbeat me into voting for a genocide, with the threat of what the ‘bad cop’ will do. I’ve been trying to communicate why I (and many others) have an issue with Biden, and you’re incapable of registering that.

            Makes me sick tbh

              Your comment history is public. You’re pushing your agenda on other people too.

              You already told me Joe Biden would be the best president. If you don’t vote accordingly, then you’re a hypocrite, and you can no longer pretend to be the pure leftist you are trying to be.

              And if we all get sent to the gas chambers, your purity isn’t going to do anything for you.

              You can save your offense for the genuinely evil people, rather than a fellow leftist trying to make the world better for everyone, including people like you who are content with consuming apathy… Exactly how the fascists want you to be.

                Voting is not stopping anyone from the gas chambers, the fact that we can’t even get the ‘lesser evil’ to stop contributing to this genocide should make that clear.

                I’m not convinced you’re a “leftist”

                  Let’s address that first set of scare quotes. Have you changed your opinion about Joe Biden since you last told me he was the better choice for president, or are you simply dropping a mask?

                  What is stopping people from the gas chambers, pray tell? Is it you? Given a Weimar vote, would you say Hitler was no more evil than any other option?

                    If the lesson you took from that was that everyone should vote for Hindenburg then you definitely missed something.

                    It takes people with guns to stop fascists.

                    I believed Biden was the lesser evil 4 years ago, I’m amused by the title now.
