    Democrats dont have a better choice because they never hold their politicians accountable. If they did someone like Biden would have never been their nominee.

    The rest of us choose not to participate in electoral politics because our voices do not matter to them, they only answer to the donor class.

    Oh no! The fascists and capitalists that run society have given us the two worst choices to vote for! You better pick one of them to keep the system happy, and don’t consider voting for a third party…OR ELSE!

    Defeat genocidejoe. Vote pirate. Or West.

      ROFL… I was young and idealistic once as well. The difference is, I was afforded the time to be ignorant.

      You aren’t.

      Pay attention. A lot is at stake here.

        Keep voting for the “lesser evil”! I’m sure your descendants will think you were super intelligent and well informed!

          …. Said the genius that thinks NOT doing something will bring change.

          Listen up,

          Someone is going to get elected whether you like it or not. By now you should probably know what Trump will do to the LGBTQ+, to women, to anyone that stands against the Christian ideology. Which pretty much includes everyone you know I would imagine.

          So go ahead and admit right now that you either don’t give a fuck at all about anyone that will be hurt if drum wins,

          Or admit you’re here in bad faith and go away.

              Holy privilege Batman. Are trans people not included in your definition of “our lives”?

              Did you just openly admit that you only care about straight white men?

                Incredibly naive of you to assume I’m straight. The hollow platitudes coming from Democrats don’t protect trans either. And quit using marginalized people as human shields to defend shitty politics while insisting they vote for the people keeping them marginalized.

                  Trans here. You’re lying to me when you say I have nothing to lose from a Trump presidency, and you’re either lying to yourself or lying about being queer.

          Accelerationists are far worse than MAGA. Because MAGA can claim ignorance.

          You are threatening to purposely fuck up America unless your demands are heeded.

          It’s fucking extortion.

            America is already fucked up. The people who don’t believe so are deluded or benefiting from the situation.

              So you’re an admitted troll here to disrupt an election… got it.

                  And what is the truth exactly? That you won’t cop to the fact that while you claim to care about genocide, you are entirely unwilling to stop it from getting exponentially worse?

        Rumors are that America is a Democracy where more than two parties are allowed to run. Though many appear to disagree with that notion.

            Democrats blame the Greens.

            Republicans blame Libertarians.

            Instead of trying to blame alternatives for losing the election they could try to win over voters. But they don’t seem very interested in that. Israel is a lot more appealing. And hey, even if the Democrats lose they’ll have made israel very happy so they can be sure to get more AIPAC “donations” next elections.

              This election isn’t about picking favorites. We are all fully aware that Trump will cause massive devastation to our nation as well as allow Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu to take what they want without resistance. Abstaining or voting third-party is refusing to stand in Trump’s way.

                Biden is already giving away America to Netanyahu. If you are concerned about foreign actors I would suggest being concerned about AIPAC.

                  We agree that Biden isn’t great for Palestine, but he is absolutely better than Trump.

                  Trump noted, “They’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

                  “And the other thing is I hate, they put out tapes all the time. Every night, they’re releasing tapes of a building falling down. They shouldn’t be releasing tapes like that. They’re doing, that’s why they’re losing the PR war. They, Israel is absolutely losing the PR war,” Trump said.

                  https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/04/politics/trump-israel-comments/index.html

                  Trump also fully supports Israel’s expansion. He repealed the law preventing Israeli settlements on Palestinian land that Biden has since reinstated.

                  Netanyahu was so pleased, he named a settlement after him.
