I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

Sorry, I didn’t see you participating in the post. Most of the other people posting in here seem at least committed to stopping Trump from seizing power, but I understand if you feel it’s more important to vote your conscience.

Because of the other guy gets in, he'll show Israel what-for. Right? Otherwise that's masturbatory virtue-signalling.

Do not let a fascist take power just so you can pat yourself on the back for contributing nothing.

Fascists are already in power, that is the whole problem! No matter who you choose, all of the problems I listed and more will continue to get worse and worse.

Trump and Biden, or rather Democrats and Republicans, are functionally the same. If you don’t see that it’s either because you aren’t affected by their violence and don’t care about people who are, or because you’re a fool. Quit wasting your time on these dead ends and recognize reality, the bourgeoisie are the only people with real power in the US. Any choices the masses are given electorally that may come to pass are insignificant to the greater capitalist and imperialist power structure. At most they are concessions (which can later be rolled back) to pacify you. Stop being the obedient dog of your owners! If you really want to improve this dumpster fire of a country, join your local communist party and start building the foundation for a better future. And for fucks sake, read some books about how capitalism works so you stop getting caught with your pants down. If you actually care at all and want some recommendations or links I’d be happy to provide what I can.

Both sides, says one side.

The true genius does nothing and feels smug about it. Don't we know voting is a blood oath?

Hey look, the block button.
