    If you think Trump and Biden will lead to the same results then you clearly haven’t heard about the whole “roe got overturned” thing. Or really anything over the last 8 years.

      Ask the people in Gaza what they think about “Roe got overturned”.

      After all said and nothing done, we are paying for those bullets that murder their children by accepting and even promoting a system that gives us braindead mouthpieces for weapon manufacturers to vote for.

          November is quite cold where I’m at, we like to go hiking or skiing. Or staying in and watching movies. A nice dinner with friends? I hope I gave you at least one good idea what to do in November.

          But you can go out and vote for a sociopath and genocide denier or for a racist rapist and when those clowns start killing and bombing some other people somewhere on the globe, you can just blame the Chinese or Icelanders for making you vote for a lesser evil…

          Life’s good either way…

          Vote for whomever you want, or not vote. Make your own decision, stop letting others make the decision for you.

            That’s quite the cop out response. You’re upset I’m voting for Biden but don’t have an alternative is what I’m hearing.

            Let’s ask another way: what do you wish I would do? Theoretically. You can’t say “do what you want but I hate what you want to do” without an alternative. There has to be another option. Because it’s safe to assume you’re doing that other option and you want others to as well. So what is it?

              Why do you think I’m upset that you are voting for Biden? You should vote for whomever you want. I’m voting for genocide Joe and I understand the implications of that. What I won’t do is plead with others to do the same. It is their choice, not mine. I understand why someone would vote for Biden. But , I also understand others have different priorities and material interests. Forcing, or shaming others to vote your choice is not democratic… it’s authoritarian. And isn’t that what we wish to prevent?

                  I’m an American, I’ve been drowning in piss my whole life. You want me to hate you for voting for Biden, even though he is helping a genocide. I won’t, because I understand you have your reasons. Or you want me to hate others because they won’t vote for Biden, because he’s helping a genocide. I’m not gonna do that either, because I support their cause.

                  Your anger is better directed at the institutions that allowed us to arrive at this juncture.
