Sorry, not trying to be spammy it just hit my front page twice, and I have the same response both times! :)

Yeah a lot of the anti biden posts feel orchestrated to discourage people from voting similarly how it worked for trump against Clinton

WOAH! You can't just talk about CONSEQUENCES! That's just trying to THREATEN people into VOTING the way you want them to!

This is wonderful and needs to be pasted on every one of these posts…

You can dislike Biden, but a vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump.

This is true because we are not a democracy. We only pretend to be one.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

You're a flawed democracy with an outdated election system. The FPTP one seat districts forces two party politics.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

While that may be true, nothing will fix that in this upcoming election. Vote Biden, then set to work fixing our democracy.

Popping up every four years and complain about the two party system, only to disappear afterwards is never going to solve the problem.

...And yet all sorts of people want to talk about "not voting for Biden" says the opposite

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I am (once again, unfortunately) voting against Trump. That means there’s really only one box for me to check in our rigged, corrupt, popular-vote-undermining, first-past-the-post system.

And yet I still don’t consider that a vote for Genocide Joe, it is just a vote against Trump in the only way our two-party oligarchy will allow.

You can tell we have a great system of governance by how it encourages us to gaslight ourselves to relieve the cognitive dissonance it creates.

I've seen very few and far between people who both oppose Trump and say they wouldn't vote for Biden, but to those few even if you calmly, carefully, and empathetically explain to them that not voting for Biden will empower Trump: they don't want to listen.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Those ones were never going to vote for Biden anyways but it's fun for them to pretend.

It's not about who will vote for who. It's about creating controversy around Biden to suppress voter turn out.

You could vote for a cow painted purple for all I care but if you're spending all your energy pointing out Bidens obvious flaws and giving Trump a pass you're actions tell me all I need to know.

Hell, I don't even care if you were in the street protesting but to sit back and meme Trump into office is just bullshit.

According to CNN, current third-party alternatives would seem to be more damaging to Biden.

Not a big Biden guy myself, but I'm still voting for him because I'm not stupid and I know exactly what's at stake.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (84 children)

You say that, but your choice of messages are certainly a regularly occurring help to Trump.

For every person that says they hate biden but will vote for him anyway there are dozens who just don't get it, think "they're both bad" and can't be bothered voting because they'd have to figure it out.

Honestly, you idiots are doing exactly what the republicans would have you do. You're cannibalising support for the left. Well done.
