Before I read this, I had planned to vote for Biden. After reading this, I am still going to. But while I was reading this, I felt a brief but overpowering urge to stay at home on election day.
Last time I felt anything like this was November 8, 2016.
Its ok fam. The empire is going to continue the killing regardless of your worthless vote.
Only on a few curated topics are the voters actually allowed to vote. And these votes are between: "keep it as it is, or slide into more shittiness." There usually isn't an option for "improve on this metric" .
No its only "slide into more shittiness" either way. The only choice is which lifestyle brand you prefer to watch
Things have slid more into shittiness under Biden, so you're wrong on that too
(Re)Elect Orange Hitler, or watch the Middle East burn.
Tough choice, man.
Regardless of who is sitting in that chair the American empire will continue the killing. Your vote isn't going to stop shit. I have lived through 9/11 in this shithole country and not one person was held accountable for their actions of the countless lives taken in Iraq.
Trivializing the Holocaust isn't gonna boost your FICO score.
By raw body count, Trump is the lesser evil. Biden’s policies in Ukraine and Palestine have been catastrophic. I don’t really think Trump will be better but at least with Trump in power then the spineless democrats might actually oppose genocide at least in a performative way and that’s a better world than exists right now.
I don’t understand how anyone can look themselves in the mirror and decide to endorse genocide by voting for it.
The response to Palestine has been bipartisan, and I'd be willing to bet the sticking point for republicans on Ukraine war money has been more that they want to send more to Israel. Plus I have a hypothesis that republicans are more interested in attacking China than Russia and for the dems it's the other way around (though both obviously want to do both). Plus the republicans can spin Ukraine as being the democrat's doing so they're not as attached to achieving victory. At least not until they're in charge and have the opportunity to pitch themselves as the saviors in these conflicts, along with a change being a useful opportunity to move the goalposts for victory.
Orange Hitler or white Hitler and you choose white, sounds about white
Its more like Re-elect Orange Hitler or re-elect Blue Gobbels at this point.
Literally voting for genocide. There is no lesser of two evils here. That’s a shameful thing to do, hopefully you don’t do it
Biden lied about having seen photos of beheaded babies to enable the genocidal murder of tens of thousands of children, and you're going to endorse that
You know most people (even many nazis) would be embrassed to openly admit they're planning to wholeheartedly endorse genocide, but I guess lemmy libs are too racist to care
You probably shouldn't tacitly approve of genocide like that.
