As long as Biden makes it past the vote and wins, he could drop dead a planck length past the finish line and we’d still have mission accomplished.

Let’s be real, at this point Biden is a placeholder candidate above which you should see the nametag “literally just not Donald Trump again.”

Especially after that one Supreme Court ruling, I cannot stress enough that you are either voting for Biden or supporting an American fall into dictatorship.

This isn’t just about moral backbone in standing up for those who can’t anymore, it’s about survival. We beat them back or we may as well accept that the number of us who are gonna live to see the full depth of outcomes will be significantly less than the statistical average for most elections.

Vote.

Yup, unite or die moment for the democracy, Joe has my vote, my time, my small donations.

Besides, America has:

  • Under 4% unemployment
  • Record low crime rates
  • Dow near 40,000
  • Schedule 3 weed
  • Historic student loan forgiveness programs

On substance, Biden has been a great president. On substance, Trump is a lying fascist who talks about being a dictator on day 1.

Be a substance voter, not an optics voter.

I dont vote for corpses, and i certainly dont vote for genociders. You realize that voting in a corpse means the actual president is accountable to literally nobody, right?

I’ll only add that it’s not just Biden. Trump is a patsy here.

Every D, any D, every election at all levels. For all time.

If it’s a D primary I’ll vote policies and take a hard look at the candidates. That’s it.

Either candidate is voting for genocide, and they’re the only viable options. So your comment is pointless.

Ahhh duck off, if it comes to it, I’ll support 1 genocide over 2,3, or 10, if that’s the choice I have. I chose my solution in that trolley problem.

It is kinda dumb we can’t trust each other to all just vote third party. I’ll shut up because there are a million reasons it won’t work and giving it wind is the last thing I want. But this system is so fucked that we either get placeholder or fascist. Yay, American democracy.

This would only make sense if Trump was less pro-Israel than Biden. He’s not. He wants Netanyahu to “finish the job” exterminating Palestinians. I’m sorry neither candidate is great on your single-issue voting mentality, but staying home or voting Trump will literally make life worse for both Palestinians and Ukrainians. (As well as Americans.)

If it’s such a drastic difference, Palestinian groups would be endorsing a candidate. They did in 2020. They’re not now.

If you vote for anyone other than the Dems in this election, you’re as good as voting for Trump, which is voting for genocide and losing your democracy. I fucking hate what’s happening in Palestine. I’m also realistic enough to see that you’ll lose your country if you don’t protect it.

You’re right. If the dems split their vote and Trump wins he will definitely behave in a calm and moral fashion. It’s not like Trump is a vindictive and shortsighted tyrant. He’s an ethical, scholarly gentleman. He never behaves impulsively or in a cruel and mean spirited way. And if there’s one thing Trump is passionate about, it’s protecting the weak and downtrodden. He believes in the equality of all nations, and doesn’t consider any of them to be shit holes. And he’s definitely not recently on record saying that Israel should just go in and “finish the job”.

I continue to be astounded by this argument. In what world would trump be less genocidey? Yeah I get it fuck Biden, I don’t like it either, yes it would be great if we had better candidates. We don’t though, we still need to do more work on that front, it sucks, but for fuck sake don’t risk letting trump win. Voting for Biden isn’t voting for genocide it’s voting against it getting even worse than it already is

Wait… How is the Angry Creamsicle any better than Biden on the Israel issues? Didn’t Baby Fingers Trump move the American Embassy to Jerusalem (and proclaimed it the capital of Israel)?

I’d love to understand why Biden is somehow worse than Dangerous Donald with respect to their views of Israel and Palestine? As a laymen, I only see two sides of the same coin. And frankly, that is not enough motivation for me to allow Adolf Twitler to be president a second time.

Yeah, that was Clinton’s plan. Trump just got to it first.

There’s no difference between them. If you think there is, go ahead and convince Palestinian groups. They’re not endorsing either nazi.

Voting third party is voting for the other guy, btw. (System sucks but we can’t change it overnight and a full shift of the democrat voters is a prisoners dilemma…I’ll let you figure out why that is bad)

Einstein defined common sense as the sum of prejudices acquired by the average person by age 18. He was making a point about how the ways neuronormative society expects people to think are highly culturally dependant. Einstein was of course the autistic person who proved our fundamental assumptions about spacetime wrong. Einstein was a great scientist precisely because he didn’t have any common sense. Common sense doesn’t reflect truth, it only reflects dominant social attitudes. Growing beyond those attitudes requires uncommon sense.

If Trump wins, dominant social attitudes will be fascist. Common sense will be fascist. But truth and science will remain leftist. They will be very political.

Trump is a Paleo-conservative and is pro: democracy, freedom of press, free-market, and is not totally Isolationist. None of that is the ideology of Fascism.

Yes, Fascism is growing all around the world. More and more of the political youth are getting tired of western democracy and western liberalism and are finding people like: Brother Nathanael, Nick Fuentes, and more classical writers such as Julius Evola.

On the Cruelty Squad comment: I can enjoy a medium that was created by someone with whom I do not agree politically. Also, I agree with Ville Kallio on many points, such as uncontrolled capitalism leading to a dystopian corporatocracy.

Also: I am not a National Socialist (Nazi) nor am I an anti-Semite.
