Natalie, if you want to vote for Biden, great. Do it. It's just... not going to matter. It won't matter if Trump or Biden is president. I mean Jesus, Biden isn't even proposing to fully repeal Trump's tax cuts despite them being overwhelmingly unpopular. Oh sure he came up with a "climate plan" after he got the nomination but if he even gets 5% of it passed I'll eat my hat. You and I both know even if the Dems win both houses of congress and the presidency, they'll pass a few window-dressing measures about strengthening institutions, but otherwise they'll sit on their hands for 2 years until Republicans come in and take both houses back.

Biden wins and we make zero progress on climate change, health care, income inequality, policing, LGBTQ rights, etc. Virtually no one's material conditions will be different in 4 years whether Trump is president or Biden is. It doesn't matter. I'm voting for Howie ostensibly because I want to send a message about the importance of climate change but even I admit it's pretty weak and won't really do anything. I'm voting because it makes me feel good to support leftist candidates where I can and there are some propositions/amendments in my state that actually matter.

dont forget that biden's platform is that trump is a bad imperialist and that he would be harsher on the venezuelans and koreans.

This one really scares me, I think Biden might actually pull some shit on Venezuela.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
