It would be great to do the third party middle finger vote but that just gets the fascist elected. I see people complaining about Biden (even though I think he’s doing a pretty good job, despite the shortcomings) and say they won’t vote for him if he doesn’t do some single issue thing and I just can’t help but think that’s a super special level of privilege. Like really?
I guess it really is super privilege to think third party route or abstaining is taking power back or "sticking to the man". I think it's lack of knowing the consequences and ideology thinking anything will change with the DNC. I really hope GOP crashes with soon so we can finally vote third party but I suspect That will never happen.
Ranked choice voting is spreading. That's our shot at having more viable options.
I voted for Biden to stop fascism and now there's a genocide happening with Biden's full support.
Yeah this is the biggest complaint I keep seeing. It’s completely true, it’s also really really dangerous to not vote or vote third party because of that at this moment. I agree that it’s totally messed up but it’s still better than what will happen if trump gets elected.
I’m just hoping the people saying this will at least vote blue while also holding Biden accountable.
You can't hold Biden accountable and also elect him President lol
Biden needs to reverse course on Israel or else he is going to lose. Does genocide Joe love killing Palestinian children more than he wants to stop Trump?
And how would that be any different with any of the last dozen presidents in power?
When was the last time the US didn't back Israel while they've been shooting at the Palestinians?
This is so much worse.
