Stop doing that you insufferable pea-brained dolt.

Not voting for Biden doesn't mean I'm voting for Trump.

Idiots like you sit there like your vote is a party popper you MUST use to show if your streamers and confetti are blue or red.

I am disgusted with the options I am presented with. I get no streamers or confetti...

Unless Biden condemns the Israeli genocide of Palestine and champions imposing massive embargoes on Israel while fully ceasing any funding in full.

Then I might believe he (and the DNC) are humbling WAY the fuck up, listening to their constituents, and correcting course is the SMALLEST of ways.

I vote for anyone but Biden, or even a no vote, is a vote for Trump.

If you think Palestine is in bad shape under Biden, try to imagine how much worse it'd be with Trump.

The only way to get Democrat candidates on the left is to crush the right wing so that the Overton window moves.

You are the uncle Tom piece of shit that has lead this country here.

I do not vote for Biden. I do not vote for Trump.

You can't make me.

Your rhetoric is outdated, idiotic, and counter-productive.

One of those two will be president no matter what you do. They will then be in a position capable of inflicting great damage. Trump will use that position to hurt more people than Biden. The math here isn't complicated, and it continually astounds me how many people on the left cannot actually solve the trolly problem when faced with it for real. It really shows which people are engaged in politics as a means to an end rather than as personal expression or a hobby.

Dont. Support. Genocidal. Fascists.

I don't support anyone. I oppose the worst outcome, and seek to steer our course away from it. Only narcissists and hobbyists hyperventilate about who they are "supporting".

I engage in politics as a means to an end and nothing more. I take the best option available and I move on to the next task. To do otherwise is to value the self above the collective, and as a communist that is not a luxury I'm afforded.
