    Trump is worse. This doesn’t paint Biden any better for standing by spectating people’s bloodlines being wiped away. You can yell at leftists all you want. The infinite loop of comprising your morals got people here not people wanting to change direction for something better. “We can vote Biden then focus on the next election for something better.” We all heard that one before.

      You’re thinking of things wrong and it’s leading you to silly conclusions.

      Voting for president is not about voting for the person that will solve of our problems.

      Stop looking to the state to solve our problems, that is not it’s purpose, it does not have this ability.

      Real problems are solved by people.

      Voting for U.S. president is a strategic choice we’re allowed every four years, choose the option that makes your life and/or job easier. If you’re really concerned about genocide, choose the option for president that will make your job of anti-war activist easier and safer.

      Understand that many of your anti-war allies are LGBTQ, and that if Trump wins, he is almost certainly going to make it much harder for your allies to survive, let alone be activists. Why would you throw your allies under the bus to make an ideological point like 16 people on Lemmy will see?

        I don’t know about them but I don’t care about 16 people on Lemmy. I care about 16 people in charge of the democrats. I want them to see they cannot hold power without the left.

          Ok, I get that, but if the Democrats don’t win, who does? Obviously the Republicans right? Is that an improvement? If Republicans destroy democracy (as they have been crystal clear about), what use is sending messages relevant to electoral politics?

            If we can only vote for one party then democracy is already dead. Then what’s the point of voting at all?

              The point of voting is not to choose the candidate that will fix everything and give up if there isn’t one, it’s to choose the the option that will make your life easier, even if just a little. If you want the world to be a better place, one candidate will make your job risky and dangerous by putting left wingers in prison and supporting right wing violence, the other wont. Why make your life/job harder because you’re upset or frustrated? Why harm your LGBTQ comrades with your apathy?

              Genocide Trump: Yes Biden: Yes

              Make life hell for LGBTQ at home in the U.S. Trump: Yes Biden: No

                The Democrats"fix" less and less every time we elect them. The bus isn’t going towards any stops I want to take. It’s going the other way, following the red line. I’ve tried filing complaints but they just go into the void. So I think it’s time for a new bus.

                  Me too, but jumping off a running bus onto flaming mini van full idiots isn’t going to help anyone.

                  Everything you hate about Biden is still going to be there under Trump only worse, and Trump is the only other option at this moment. You want better choices in the future, run for office, encourage people to run for office. As long as people like you are encouraging good people to forfeit electoral politics, only the worst people are going to be available as options to vote for.

                    We already had our chances at good people. The Democrats kept that from happening. At this point I’m really starting to believe the only choice is to back up, and protest how we elect presidents in the first place. It doesn’t seem to produce a representative of the people. And the more people tell me I have to vote for Biden because of Boogeyman, the more sure I am.
