    Fuck off. You’re just going to be supporting someone who will be even worse about it and potentially even bring it home.

    I hope your conscience feels real good when that happens.

        By not voting, you are still, implicitly, voting for the candidate who you wouldn’t have voted for. Do you think he’s not supporting Israel?

        Do you think he even has any moral standing?

        That’s who you’re voting for by not voting.

          And if you vote for Trump, that’s actually two votes for Trump! 🤡

          And every dollar you don’t donate to Biden is a dollar donated to Trump! 🙃

          So if a Republican chooses to not vote because they don’t like Biden or Trump, they’re actually helping Biden! 😱

        So you’re fine if, when presented with two choices, you picked the one that made things worse? Ok.

          You can construct whatever ethics puzzles you want to absolve yourself of guilt, but you are literally voting for genocide. I’m not.

          This is our only leverage, and if enough of us made it clear to Biden that he will lose then he would change his policies. This is the only power we have and we have a moral obligation to use it. Instead of cowardly voting for genocide, force Biden to the left like y’all promised.

            I can’t imagine being this dense, wow. Trump would be so obviously worse but you pretend to care about Biden instead. It’s all so fake, nobody is going to give you virtue points when democracy dies.

              They’re fascist trolls trying to push leftists away from viable candidates. I see queermunist and go_go_gadget all over the place and they’re always spouting this same shit. I guarantee if Bernie or some other progressive candidate began to seriously pick up steam they’d immediately pivot and make up some shit like “Warcrime Stein” or “Brutality Bernie”.

                This is it exactly. “If I can’t get everything I want I’ll take my ball and go home!” is such an obvious fash tactic and talking point.

          This is such a bizarre argument to make in the context of supposedly saving Democracy. Being morally obligated to vote for one person I despise isn’t Democratic. Sorry to burst your bubble.

        So, you’re now a Trump supporter. Be okay with that. Because you and people like you- are enabling his next presidency- and WILL take the blame when he wins.
