MODERATORS
Look, let's get this out of the way. I'm not a Democrat. Didn't vote for Biden or Trump at any point. Yet comparing them one is clearly capable and one is not. How does that make them equal? That's delusional thinking.
Do I want a better candidate than either of them? Sure, but it's not going to happen this election cycle. And yes it's fucked these are the only choices we get.
Yet which one is really likely to fuck us over? The answer to that isn't Biden. Not by a longshot.
The problem with this is that we have history with both of them, and we can see what they did. I am not going to vote for either of them, but biden has been objectively an incompetent president, probably the worst president in the modern era outside of Bush.
so between eating a shit sandwich or being driven off a cliff and potentially dying, you'd chose death? honestly the dumbest take I've heard in a while. thanks for the laugh, I guess 🤡
You can claim what you wish, but the current president is the one that got us invovled in two wars that lead directly to WW3. Just because you guys got TDS doesnt meant the delusions are true.
No one said it was.
If you can vote for a president who not only went around Congress to fund a genocide, but also went around Congress to prevent aid to the victims...
That's your decision that you will have to live with
Maybe that's not a big deal for you. Maybe it's harder on me because I'm a third generation disabled veteran.
But everyone has a line. I truly help the DNC gets better before your line is crossed.
I hope you do understand that Trump isn't any better in this regard - he isn't just going to continue funding Israel like Biden currently is, he's already expressed his full support of Netanyahu's genocidal actions and will seek to help him further.
You can choose not to vote, but understand that if enough people come in with that same attitude, Trump will win, because his supporters don't care what his policies on Israel are, they just want him to win.
supporters of trump and biden have so much in common!
What's the point of not replying to one comment, scrolling down, and trying to start a new chain with the same person?
Like, I've explained everything you're asking about multiple times already... If you can't understand it, maybe it's because you're jumping around this thread and replying randomly to different comments?
I just don't see the point, unless you're intentionally just trying to waste people's time.
I know understanding complicated political issues is hard, and I 100% understand if you just give up. But don't go to the same thread and reply to the same person to have the same conversation you gave up on.
Mostly because other people already have echoed the exact same sentiment I would have, and I figured it wasn't worth chiming in. However, as nobody has bothered to reply to you here, I thought I would.
Having said that, if you really want my view, I'll give it to you...
What you explained is that you're in a state Biden is likely to lose, and that to have any chance of him winning you think the DNC would need a much more progressive candidate. That's a valid viewpoint....
However, refusing to vote in protest because of that is just plain stupid. For all intents and purposes, it's a two party system, so refusing to vote for one party helps the other party - which in this case is Trump.
And as far as your question goes, they're not mutually exclusive. I can blame the DNC shifting slowly closer and closer right in order to appeal to moderates whilst also blaming all of the protesters who think they're just one person, who think their refusal won't affect anything because everyone else will vote anyway - you act morally righteous when in reality all your protesting is doing is helping those who'd do far worse.
And that brings me to what you haven't explained, at least not to me - how can you refuse to vote Biden because of him continuing funding towards Israel whilst knowing that the person your protest would enable doesn't just want to continue the very same funding, but also openly supports Netanyahu in his genocide!
You're either acting as a useful idiot cutting your nose off to spite your face, or knowingly trying to disenframchise the people who would vote for Biden. Neither is a good look really.
You make it out like you've got a galactic brain, 1000 IQ, incomprehensible opinion when in reality it comes down to either you vote for the future of democracy, or you do nothing and doom it whilst moaning that we should've all done better.
If NH had primary delegates, I'd believe you.
But only state republicans can change the law that NH goes first. So if you're worried about the future of democracy, you might want to pay more attention to who you're voting for.
Because it's looking like the DNC won't let NH have a say anytime soon, and I seriously doubt they'll be the only ones.
Hell, half the states haven't even voted in a primary before people start calling it over.
The system doesn't work, and it hasn't for a long time.
If everyone always votes D no matter what, shit will keep getting worse. There has to be standards
