But seriously: if you're not voting for Biden, does that mean you instead vote for Trump? Or do you not vote at all? What if that results in another Trump presidency? What is the argument against voting for the lesser evil? Is it a matter of principle, then?
Unless you think Trump is the superior candidate, in which case I am not really interested in talking to you.
I mean, yes, it would be better if instead of Biden they ran someone younger and more progressive. And even better would be if the ridiculous two-party system was replaced altogether. But slim as the chance of that happening with Biden is, it is surely even more unlikely for that to happen with the Republicans and Trump in power, right?
I'm not trying to convince anyone, I'm just genuinely confused as it seems I'm missing something that's perhaps obvious to you.
If you think getting Biden elected is so important, why are you wasting your time trying to convince leftists that his administration clearly isn't trying to cater to? Wouldn't it be more productive to get on right wing forums and explain to them that Biden is the better candidate for getting more "illegals" deported, for increasing funding of the police state, stopping the BLM protests, and increasing funding for the war machine many times over?
When it comes to regressive, far right policy, Trump may talk a lot of shit but Biden gets it done.
I mean, I really am not trying to convince anyone, I was genuinely curious. I don't live in the US, thankfully.
Then maybe shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about
I thought we agreed that people who live in places where the US has bases get to talk about US elections? I dont like that IVe seen two people ome at this poster with this response because I thought we didnt think that way. The whole world is effected by US elections.
With the US being the single most powerful country on the planet anyone has the right to say what they want about it, bases or not.
Or maybe they just somehow forgot that socialism is internationalist
