    Well now he’s dead to me. I thought he was a logical thinking human being. What an absolute moron. Not voting for Biden is a vote for the bad guys and fascism/monarchy

      He probably will still vote for Biden but he doesn’t want to endorse him because he wants that sweet sweet Maga bucks. I liked him too, fuck this greedy coward now.

      Pretty sure only a vote for bad guys is a vote for bad guys. I don’t think the election officials tally up non votes or votes for other people.

        The problem with your reply is that you’re focusing on a single tree and missing the entire forest around it.

        If you just take the words only at face value, then yes, I suppose you’re right. However, apathy ABSOLUTELY loses people elections, which is what the spirit of my statement for all intents and purposes actually says. That’s why we got suck with Trump in the first place - people were lukewarm on Hilary and mad that Bernie wasn’t the candidate. They decided NOT to vote, and the crazy kook republicans always vote, so we got stuck with trump.

        My comment stands and is accurate.

            Good voters don’t get apathetic, they understand what’s truly at stake because they see the forest, not just a single tree.

            It’s our duty to vote, even if we have to vote for the lesser of two evils.

              Good voters don’t vote against their principles or self-interests. Ironically, you are breaking democracy by trying to force people to vote for candidates they don’t like; in a democracy, you vote for someone, not against them.

              Any democracy that forces people to choose between a genocide-enabler and a rapist genocide-enabler isn’t a democracy worth saving. It’s the logical conclusion to the “experiment” and hopefully future generations can learn something from it, but you’re kidding yourself if you think that this is the election that will decide things once and for all, rather than just postponing things back another 4 years.

                isn’t a democracy worth saving

                I hope you will take a bit of time to really think through this part of your comment. If you truly think this, then I have nothing more to discuss with you. This is part of the larger problem.

                We’re forced due to our shitty first-past-the-post voting system to vote one of two ways, vote against the worst guy in your opinion, or abstain from voting and not contribute at all.

                We’re voting between

                1. an extremely old guy who hasn’t been everyone’s favorite in many areas, but arguably has done a LOT of good things in his time as President - and

                2. an extremely old guy who is a rapist, racketeering liar and a con man who only cares about self preservation, and fleecing you for every buck you’re worth to bankroll his court costs for running up (so far) nearly 100 state and federal felonies. He also is fiercely delaying his trials so he can corruptly make it go away so that Justice isn’t carried out, because he should be King and completely above the law. Not to mention his party ACTUALLY cheats at election through intimidation, voter suppression, gerrymandering, and misinformation campaigns.

                How could someone even think that’s not a no-brainer decision? I’m not forcing anyone to do anything, what I’m saying is that I believe people that aren’t making the obvious right choice here are part of the problem. Bad guys standing next to bad guys, ignorant/brainless/brainwashed Republicans and abstinent voters. Might as well be the same person if you’re not helping to remedy this clear issue with your vote.

                Just my opinion, but I know it’s shared with many that clearly align with doing the right thing this November.

                I’m challenging the collective “you” to do the right thing, regardless of your political affiliation. The game has two participants and only one can be the winner. Don’t inject extra complexity here. Do the right thing. That’s it. Should be a super easy choice.

    This is just the beginning – a LOT of celebrities aren’t going to want to associate their brand with Genocide Joe. You can say they don’t matter, since they shouldn’t, but the election is going to be decided by a set of like 300k low information dum dums in swing states who vote despite having no real information and decide at the last minute, potentially based on who a celebrity endorsed, because they’re idiots.

      I notice the peanut gallery constantly throwing out the “GJ” nickname never say “Genocide Bibi”.

      • Or place the blame where it belongs.
      • Or have any understanding of the Israel-United States military relationship and how we have at least one important military base there
      • Or acknowledge that the US also gets weapons from Israel
      • Or realize that there are a lot of pro-Israel folks in the US that will get pissed off if he was more “take a side” which would ultimately benefit Trump (who has vowed to “finish the job”).
      • Or realize there’s any nuance to the situation at all. Nope, totally a black and white situation.
      • Or that he’s been calling for cease fire for months
      • Or realize that it’s not just flicking a switch to “off”

      Funny how all that doesn’t fit your narrative. It’s also suspiciously convenient that the entire plight can be blamed on one person (cough not the person doing the bad stuff cough), in an election season, with a childish nickname likely cooked up by a right-wing think tank and/or foreign troll farm (insert “they’re [mostly] the same picture” meme here). Nope, not suspicious at all.

        I’ll gladly call Netanyahu a genocidal maniac. I’d gladly see him executed Nuremberg-style (hope to see that eventually). But Biden is the president of my country and he is more loyal to Netanyahu than America. They have murdered OUR citizens and he does nothing. Israel is a mooch nation that entirely is fed off of our teat monetarily, militarily, and in terms of international legal cover. He could readily make them stop by ACTUALLY making threats. He chooses not to and then lies to us saying “really, we’re saying mean things to them in meetings” when clearly they are not. Biden is lying to you and you are buying it.

      As opposed to well known anti-genocide Trump.

      Genocide support is an American problem, not the acts of one President. If you think not voting for Biden will lead to less genocides/wars, you might want to double check that.

    Well, thanks to Dwanye for becoming an arrogant coward at the exact time people need voices like his to help build up Democracy ideals.

    His take is avoidance because he arrogantly thinks his previous endorsement of Biden caused division in America. That’s wild.

    “The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he told Will Cain on Fox News in an interview posted online Friday. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that … but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me. I didn’t realize that then, I just felt like there was a lot of unrest and I’d like things to calm down.”

    Translation: I don’t want to piss off the MAGA meatheads in my fanbase.

    It sure would be nice if the political opinions of an actor wasn’t important enough to report on.
