Leftists are abandoning Joe Biden and this will ensure Donald Trump's victory
Actually, Joe Biden is very popular and he's going to win in a landslide. Anyone who says otherwise is a Russian shill.

Rolling these two ideas in my brain like a pair of baoding balls

Having standards is a bad thing, just vote for your team even if you'd hate what they do.

Republicans did that decades ago, and now have trump.

The only thing stupider than them doing it, is all the "moderates" saying it's easier to convince millions of people to follow them off the cliff than convince the DNC to start running candidates that Dem voters want to vote for...

The fact that trump has won 50% of his elections and looks to be 2/3 in a few months should make everyone reconsider the quality of candidates we're running against him.

Not getting mad at the people honest about the situation while there's still time to do literally anything to prevent trump.

As a foreigner I never understood the novote sentiment in the US. You aren't voting for either candidate because you dislike them, so who would you actually vote for? AOC? RFK Jr? Bernie? Does your ideal candidate even exist in reality yet? All a no vote does is take away your own rights in your country, while the rest of the world moves on without you.

For what it's worth, both parties can be trash but one party actually can be shamed to doing the right thing once in a while.

The situation is actually quite simple.

If you want Palestine to survive, your best bet is to vote Biden.

Literally every other option will only lower their chances. You can't have everything you want, welcome to life.

"Genocide Joe" doesn't matter when the other option is Turbo Genocide Donny.

So if there is anyone who tries to convince you to not vote Biden, they either want Palestine to die, or want to cause chaos in your country. Which is most likely a Russian bot.

I know I have no way of convincing anyone of this, but I am not a Russian bot (living in the UK and not being able to vote in the US election).

But these are exactly the points of view I have been expressing over here about the Tory and Labour parties. Maybe not so much the "not voting at all" one but the other three? Yeah -- that sounds a lot like me right now.

(I think you should vote for someone you believe in, rather than voting for someone who is not someone else, if that makes sense)

But definitely not a Russian bot :)

Nothing to do with rigged elections or propaganda. People are realizing that neither party represents the people. It's a fact.

This is a cool post.

Still won't make me vote for genocide. Please give me a candidate to vote for.

When Martin Luther King Jr said the white moderate was the biggest stumbling block of progressive politics he meant shit like this That favors order over Justice.

When it said that you cut a liberal in a fascist bleeds they mean you.

I'm an American that lives in a very blue state. I will be voting third party this election because my state and my vote will end up going to the blue team anyway. What I know is that if a third party gets 5% of the vote they get funding in the next round. I don't know about all you guys, but I am tired of constantly picking the lesser evil and having every election I participate in be the most important election of our lifetime (so far

But sure Just say I'm a Russian bot. I'm sure that won't distance people even further away from your politics.

I did voter drives in 2016 and 2020 The people I met say the same things. I am in now way saying that voter interference is not a thing. Encouraging voter apathy is a easy way to influence American elections.

Can’t believe it took this long for me to see this meme. Plenty of photos of internet soldiers, but haven’t seen it memes till now.

Hey, fellow Russian agents of lemmy, does anybody wanna form a union?

These working conditions are shit. We have to deal with insufferable liberals repeating the same pro-genocide arguments over and over. Yeah yeah, if we try to strike they could send us all to the front, but tell me honestly - can you really say you fear death after interacting with "vote blue no matter who" people all day?

Honestly, this whole thing seems like a waste of time. How are we supposed to convince Americans to oppose genocide, especially when the victims aren't even white? Like, come on, they didn't have a problem when their government was slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, they're not gonna suddenly turn into moral actors just because we say the right set of words. When in history have these people ever cared how many foreigners die because of their government's actions?

In conclusion we deserve a raise if we're going to keep dealing with these people and if our bosses decide to shut the whole thing down in response, that's probably for the best because frankly this whole "convince Americans to oppose genocide" thing seems like a complete waste of time.

If you don't have preferential voting, the only party worth voting for is the one pledging to introduce it. It would solve this bullshit overnight.

Instead, people are fighting over which neoliberal to elect; the slightly more progressive one or the significantly more fascist one. Both of them are going to put the profits of wealthy donors ahead of human lives and neither is a true solution to mounting problems.

Fuck, not only will this not stop the genocide (because Israel doesn't actually need the weapons in the first place), you won't even solve the bots and propaganda. Israel has an extremely sophisticated cyberware unit and they'll just join the Russians trying to get Trump elected.

When we are all headed to gas chambers because Trump won, I hope leftist "no voters" and "3rd party voters" can take solace in the fact that they personally didn't dirty their morals by voting for Biden. Because the last hours of our lives, I will be brutally taking the piss out of you all and loving every moment of it.

What some folks hear: "I'M NOT VOTING FOR EITHER BECAUSE BIDEN AND TRUMP ARE BOTH THE DEVIL"

What is being said: "Why the choices geriatric dickhead who wants to let Israel commit genocide and OTHER geriatric dickhead who wants to let Israel commit genocide? I'll still vote for my geriatric dickhead but I'm really not happy about it."

Folks can't force me to be happy about being required to vote for the lesser evil because the two party system is horseshit, and they should really stop trying. If they want me to be an enthusiastic voter maybe they should put forth candidates who don't fill any part of "geriatric dickhead who wants to let Israel commit genocide". There has to be one or two right?

I'm proud to express democracy by voting for Jill Stein, no matter how much liberals don't want to accept that.

When you don't vote, how can anyone reflect on why they did not get your vote? At the very least write in a name like "Sanders" so the caucus can say, "well, it seems we didn't get this vote because we were not progressive enough."

Obviously, it doesn't mean the parties will change but maybe they will think "We almost had this state. If we change slightly maybe we can grab 25% of these independents in the next Senate race."

I get paid by the US government to shitpost

It is naive to believe that the empire was built without the support of its citizens, they know that all wealth they enjoy comes from their and their allies imperialism around the world, so murdering brown people around is just a collateral. and if you bring that up you are either a bot or lack enough intellect to understand the need for western imperialism around the world.
