This is why it’s so frustrating to see people saying they won’t vote because Biden is old (yes) and supports Israel (mostly true, albeit more complicated than that). Neat, but if Trump gets reelected, I’d be willing to bet that most of the conservative justices suddenly retire and we end up with a bunch of 35 year olds with lifetime appointments who can spend decades fucking stuff up. Hooray!

It’s so dumb, I don’t understand why people just refuse to think about the long term consequences instead of just “i want to vote for the perfect person right now so if no one is perfect i won’t vote.” Like I know Biden is a terrible candidate, but like I’d personally like to still have a department of education by the next election???

If they can’t grasp they are voting for a executive branch run by thousands of people either attached to one 80 year old or the other is the reality of this, it’s going to be hard to convince them.

Trump wins that means we’re back to the foxes running the hen house in every government office, all the worst of Trump cronyism will be back and 1000x worse.

You know whats dumb? Sticking by geriatric mentally infirm candidates. Literally they say on every network on TV that this election will be decided by double haters (people who hate both candidates), yet the population refuses to vote third party (such as the wonderful Chase Oliver who is on the ballot in all fifty states) despite the establishment clearly showing it refuses to change. You are the dumb one to me, you defend a terrible candidate who isn’t even all there, tell me how he defeated medicare during his term?

I would love to vote third party, but there is no chance of a third party winning until we have rank choice voting or another improved system, at this point it’s just a waste of your vote

We already did that. Every fucked up thing the courts are doing is a trump judge for life.

  • find judge’s name
  • search
  • see who appointed them

It’s every time.

Maybe the establishment shouldn’t put such a loser up for president. The Hillary Clinton defense is repugnant.

If you’d had held your nose and voted for Clinton we wouldn’t be here right now. 🤷

Holding one’s nose every 4 fucking years isn’t a good system. If Biden isn’t pushed to retirement, we’re going to lose. Maybe that’s what we deserve.

Maybe we can’t, but we can certainly not vote and make things much worse!

Voting isn’t the only way to have a democracy. Try to build an opposition outside parliament.

Yeah here we go. Wahh the liberals love genocide and wont let us have third parties. Whatever.

We absolutely 100% without any doubt CAN vote ourselves out of this - that is exactly how it works. It doesn’t work in 5 minutes, it’s not a videogame, but c’mon. Help paddle already.

What’s your plan B? What will you do, if Trump wins, or Biden wins and they’ll have a successful insurrection? How will you avoid the next Trump successor?

Well, we got this SCOTUS by abstaining in 2016. That clearly only results in giving up more rights.
