    Oh yes because Trump would use our forces to do it instead.

    Look, don’t counter with 3rd party. That’s literally throwing your vote away.

    Biden is the only way to beat Trump. There are backwards racists in the Democrats too. You’re not going to get support for anything than an old white guy until at least 2028…

      Isn’t what you’re doing straight up “whataboutism”?

        Not when presented with “vote him out.” At that point, you have to look at what that realistically looks like. If just pointing out what’s wrong with Biden, then bringing Republicans up would be. But if you’re looking at the choice between the two, it only makes sense to talk about them.

          Americans will vote for two genocide enabling people before they even realize that they always had a choice. You people are so brainwashed it’s scary. The democracy you have is a farce

            No matter what you think is the proper way to approach change, in the meantime you are better off not voting for the authoritarian.

          I read it as it’s not up to somebody else to decide if your choice of vote is a waste.

          It’s up to each person to decide what to do with their own vote.

          Sure, they’re free to say it and the other person is free to point out that it’s not up to “Anonymous Internet Person” to decide what is the right way for me to vote.

          From my point of view in a system that’s nowehere as undemocratic as the US, these “things are the way they are, so we have to accept these constraints” kind of responses to that post sure look like the kind of passive acceptance of injustice so common in dictatorships.

            It’s one of the possible activities. I’m looking forward to basket weaving.

            Probably a place where there’s a lot of concentration on finding solutions. You know, the final kind?

      Just say “I don’t care about Genocide I only care about my student loans. Fuck Arab babies they can all die if I get some money. I am as morally reprehensible as every single billionaire I condemn”.

      Take your mask off already and stop pretending.

        Friend I don’t want to be raped to death in a 2025 US concentration camp so I’m voting for Joe. I’m sorry this is what it’s come down to for many of us.

              I’m just glad you don’t give a shit about babies, kids and women ACTUALLY being mass murdered by Biden.

              Children’s hospitals full of little kids with already blown off legs are being bombed by Genocide Joe just to make sure they all die. But your fears are the only thing that matter in this world.

                It’s hilarious you’re pretending you care about “arab babies” while parroting bullshit about “Genocide Joe” to try to have some moral high ground. It’s very obvious to everyone, you’re probably just mad the “wrong” people are getting killed.

                  It’s hilarious how much mental gymnastics you will do to justify a Democrat committing LITERAL NAZI STYLE GENOCIDE.

                  I thought voting for Biden was supposed to prevent this kind of shit from being happening. Both parties are foreign agents. You vote 3rd party or you vote Nazi.

                    If only the world were as black & white as you seem to believe. I can vote my heart in the primary; I’ll vote to win and stop the progression of far right Christofascism in the general election.

                    I recommend you do the same if you actually care and aren’t just trying to discourge Biden voters.

            You just told a woman genuinely afraid of getting raped to get over it and that she actually hates xyz people.

            You need to pause for a moment and ask yourself where you’ve gone wrong.

              You just justified Nazism and Genocide by saying “vote for Genocide Joe else something bad might happen to me instead of brown people I don’t know!”

              Ask yourself that question. Where are your morals?

              Hitler would have loved the current Americans in WW2.

                So what are you gonna do genius? Vote for Trump which will make it 100x worse? A third party is never gonna have enough votes to win right now.

                  Yeah, when the entire country believes “third party isn’t going to win, I have to vote for genocide :(” then obviously nothing will change.

                It’s an interesting video. I suppose you are referring to the part where Trump does not care about your rights if he considers you part of the opposition? Is this going back to keeping the Mexicans in cages or something else?

                  Once an enemy or vermin has been dealt with, a different scapegoat is chosen. Eventually you or someone you care about becomes the scapegoat. The point being to recognize it before it gets to you and stop it.
