Ultimately this won’t change unless young Democrats actually take over the party and shift the overton window back to the left.
This generally, and specifically electoral reform is the only way to get the USA out of its two-party hellhole.
The only way out of the 2 party system is to stay in the 2 party system? Math ain’t mathin.
Good luck getting any reform done within America’s FPTP by going 3rd-party.
Politics is a battle of inches, and you need to walk before you can run, or else 3rd-parties are doomed to irrelevance forever.
How many inches have the dems walked backwards? Yeah I’ll vote for moving forward. You do you boo.
Three reminders:
The president isn’t the only position of power in the US, it’s just the most public and obvious one.
A vote against or withdrawn from Biden is a vote for Trump.
If Biden wins, we can try a new candidate in the next election. If Trump wins there won’t be a next election.
If you don’t vote for biden you aren’t voting for trump. Anyone who claims otherwise should lose the right to vote.
If you think anyone should lose their right to vote, you’re part of the problem. Nobody should have a say in who gets to vote and who doesn’t.
Nah.
If Biden wins, we can try a new candidate in the next election.
I probably won’t like that one either.
Might as well throw away democracy then, huh?
Actually yes. If our democracy is so broken that not voting for a piece of shit is considered bad, then anyone who defends it should be banned for life from voting.
Boogeyman invocation, yawn
The hood doesn’t live in democracy; all Trump will do is bring our conditions to your gated communities
I’m now convinced that a lot of this is trolling. People who say “Well I’m Muslim and it bothers me that Biden supports Israel so I won’t vote for him” have to be completely out of touch with reality or are completely fake. Same thing here–not voting for Biden ensures that Trump wins, and your theoretical third-party person has no chance of doing anything except dilute the vote.
So? I’m really not buying this narrative or these polls anymore. The respondents are either morons or plants.
Liberals, as ever, unable to accept that anybody might honestly disagree with them.
You, as ever, unable to provide a single idea of what the alternative is.
The alternative is that people legitimately disagree with you, genius.
Yet are unwilling to state what that disagreement actually is. You’re definitely a reactionary. You’re here for the angries.
My disagreement is with the idea that people can’t legitimately disagree with liberals, as I have stated. Spare me the insults.
somebody is definitely a reactionary lol
Healthy democracy you’ve got here, where people who have real complaints about the parties of capital and genocide are dismissed as “trolls.”
How about “fuck you,” supporting israel in any manner should should be automatic disqualification from any possible democratic process. If you don’t accept that you don’t deserve any of the rights described in the bill of rights.
here–not voting for Biden ensures that Trump wins
Too late – I didn’t vote for Trump so Biden wins
People who say “Well I’m Muslim and it bothers me that Biden supports Israel so I won’t vote for him” have to be completely out of touch with reality or are completely fake
“If you aren’t voting for me, you’re not Muslim, Jack”
This is what an unrepentant settler fascist looks and sounds like.
Yeah, the people who don’t want to vote for the fascist sending bombs to an ethnostate to kill their friends and families? They’re the out of touch morons.
One is a neoliberal that embraces a political philosophy where you turn a blind eye to suffering abroad for stability and prosperity at home.
The other is a wannabe dictator that repeatedly echos hitler and will lead to civil war where your neighbors, family, and yourself are put at risk of death and the destruction of your livelyhood.
One of them is more imminently dangerous to the voters who are tasked with casting votes.
He’s not turning a blind eye, he’s actively facilitating a genocide.
Many people are more moral than you and refuse to support anyone supporting a genocide.
If there were a viable third option I would vote for them. Being moral in this situation means Trump would get elected and my family would be victims of political violence while that same apathetic blind eye turns away from us. It’s a personal threat to my physical safety if Trump is elected.
right, so you care more about you and yours than millions of people in palestine. sounds about white
Yes. It’s not my job to stop all the wars in the world. I’m not going to sacrifice myself for that because it wouldn’t make a difference.
Motherfucker it’s your job as an alleged human being to at least not actively support it
I’m not asking you to be a superhero who ends all war, I’m telling you that when you support Joe Biden you’re actively supporting a current ongoing genocide that he’s facilitating. It’s not that I’m criticizing you for not doing enough for others, I’m criticizing you for actively aiding a genocide. All you have to do is stop doing that.
People who decline to aid and abet a genocide are a better people than people who agree to help aid and abet that genocide.
“Turning a blind eye” - that guy
“There will absolutely not be any conditions on our aid to Isreal, the only condition is defending isreal” - Biden
Sounds like he’s got his eye pretty squarely on the prize to me
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Fuck Biden. Fuck Trump too, but fuck Biden first and foremost. There will never be a day that I support the genocidal segregationist that thinks he can put delimiters on whether or not I’m Black; especially not after he put half my family in prison with his crime bill horseshit, and is now trying to kill the rest of them with his shit economy.
Death to the Democrats, death to the Republicans, death to the Empire.
You forgot “poor kids are just as bright as white kids”
I voted for Biden to stop fascism and now he’s supporting genocide.
And continuing Trump’s immigration policy, crushing unions, building the border wall, etc.
Remember folks this is what he promised us. Nothing has fundamentally changed.
Crushing unions? Didn’t he personally go to a union strike before to show his support?
See this is the problem with liberals. They care more about symbolic support and ignore actual material reality.

That’s some first class segregation politics behavior you’re showing there. It’s hard to take you serious from now on.
first class segregation politics behavior you’re showing there.
who the fuck even says this?
I’ve got a good goddamn guess; it’s eight letters long, starts with a ‘C’, and ends with an ‘rs’.
Someone that just asked a simple question with the intention of being educated, and not to be immediately pushed into some political group the poster looks down on, and where the intention was nothing more but: you bad, we good. That’s just completely ridiculous, without knowing anything about a) my intention and b) my background.
I did appreciate the link that was mentioned
you fuckin called me a segregationist for showing you a link from Biden literally shutting down a strike. Please fuck all the way off.
Biden was literally pro segregation.
Also the link that you “appreciate” contradicts everything you said.
Again and I will continue to repeat this: Go. Fuck. Yourself.
Edit: sorry mods, I can’t be civil with someone trying to gaslight me.
Do you believe Trump would have handled this conflict any better?
I believe he would have responded roughly the same.
I also believe he would have fumbled the delicate balance Biden is trying to strike, where he has been able to protect and support Israel without provoking a wider conflict. Trump isn’t exactly a strategic statesman. Under Trump, Israel would have found itself facing total isolation from the West and a rapidly escalating conflict with all of its neighbors in the region. Whether that would result in Israel backing down with their tail between their legs or WW3 is hard to say.
I’m not voting for Trump, though. I don’t want either Biden or Trump. I want to kill myself. At least that way my vote counts.
You put down half a thought. So what are you going to do, vote for an actual fascist or not vote so that an actual fascist wins?
biden is an actual fascist
I was going to vote for Biden but now I won’t because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they’ve even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.
LOL what a narcissist.
they’re making fun of civility libs who pulled that shit on leftists.
What’s the matter, peckerwood; don’t like you guys’s favorite thought-terminators getting flippantly flung back in your face? Gee, who’d have fucking thought?
Understand, if the choice is between genocidal crypto-fascism and genocidal fascism-obvious, I have no issue with watching your country die instead. Better we go out than the whole rest of the world under our boot. I would rather die, and I would rather we as a collective fell, than ever support another fascist for any fucking reason.
I don’t tend to let people insult me then attempt to influence me. Learn a little about the art of persuasion and try again. Also, get a grip. This isn’t Facebook or Reddit. Try not to act like those people.
Was it the term “peckerwood” that you found insulting? Would being referred to as “crackkker” hurt your feewings as much?
Yes. Why are you acting like a Republican?
As a proud Biden supporter, I know two things: 1. 2024 is the most important election of our lives and we must do anything and everything to maximize the voter turnout for Biden, even If it means reaching out to our political enemies and making unsavory compromises; and 2. If you don’t immediately agree to vote for Biden then you’re just a fucking [slur, slur, slur] and I’m going to go out of my way to antagonize and alienate you and anyone else who may be reading these threads – that’s called the art of persuasion!
You’re laughing. You’re a pawn of Trump and Putin and you’re laughing.
By voting for Biden I’m a tool of Trump and Putin. Riiiiight.

Copy pasta. Got it, you’re a troll and are now blocked.
I’m going to write in Hillary it’s her turn
Keep “Voting Blue No Matter Who” and watch as every promise they ran on vanish without a fight because YOU have taken away any incentive to.
