It’s not that they are ok with Trump. They are just unhappy with both candidates. With that being said I do plan on voting for the Biden because while I don’t agree with him on everything I know that he won’t turn the country into a fascist dictatorship like Trump. The fact that this asshole is still legally allowed to run is insane.
Edit: I change my mind. After seeing Bidens debate performance it is pretty obvious that he is going to lose. Unless if the Democrats replace Biden with a candidate who can actually speak. I will be voting for Jill Stein instead.
Edit 2: Turns out Biden dropped out. I will now vote for whoever the democratic nominee is but after this election I will be voting 3rd party from now on.
But if you say you’re voting for who you actually believe in, and it’s not one of the two, you’re also “throwing your vote away” according to many. Anytime I see this all I see is blackmail. “Vote my way or bad things will happen”.
It’s not a choice, it’s coercion. One side actively threatens it and the other side passively threatens it. It’s all just threats if you don’t fall in line.
Nobody, at least seriously, is threatening YOU to vote a specific way. The threat comes from one candidate specifically, of which our glorious 2 party system has confirmed will ONLY be one of those two. And he isn’t threatening YOU, but rather our entire way of life. So, go ahead and vote however you want. Just know the repercussions on the grand scale, and maybe be a little humble.
Funny how one side can do anything they want but the other side can at best “not be that guy”. Democratic impotence is intentional.
What exactly are you saying here now? You’re being intentionally vague
No I’m not. You lack reading comprehension. According the this very meme, R is able to bring the world to fascism but all D can do at best is “not be facists”. No argument for what good they’ll do. Just “well, we’re not facists…”
There’s a lot of nuance and discussion that is just ignored by online people regarding this discussion. I’m sick of the fighting.
Change your horrible voting system. FPTP is the root of all this craziness
Agreed. We’re getting some traction on this but it is absolutely not possible for this year’s presidential election. This is a long-term goal that should not affect your voting this year.
And next election you will say THE EXACT SAME THING. It’ll never be the “right time” unless it’s all already falling in your lap. Democrats suck because they completely lack initiative. They think that unless they control the House, Senate AND Presidential office that “it’s impossible to get anything done!”.
Nah, those high up are perfectly happy with this and you’re just feeding into it.
