But but but I won't vote in protest!1 That will definitely make them listen! (/s)
PSA: Not voting means you have the relevance of an old man yelling at a cloud.
You move the Overton window by voting. You want policy #857? You have to vote for policy #1 first. You have to walk before you can run.
I just want one of the "You can't vote for Biden!" people to outline what I should do instead. What's the play here? Dismantle the government? Sure, outline your plan and let's see if it has any merit. Protest? Great, tell me when and where but it doesn't preclude the need to vote.
They talk big, but if their entire plan begins with "don't vote" and ends with "bitch about it online" then it's not a great plan.
That's why I'm ridin with Biden, despite the genocide!
As if the other option isn't also genocide 🙄
Why is it so hard to ask for an option that isn't genocide?
Because a First-Past-The-Post voting system doesn't care about your ideals. Until we have a different system, literally your only hope of effecting change is to vote for one of the two partied candidates and work locally to influence your party from the bottom-up.
Voting third party doesn't send a message you want it to send. It doesn't send any message at all except "I approve of whatever you choose for me."
Even more reason to get Biden back in at all costs then.
Ridin' with Biden despite the genocidin'
😆
Let’s vote for trump and get some American boots on the ground! Can’t let the IDF take all of the glory!
You misspelled Netanyahu. Also you will have egg on your face from head to toe when you find out what Biden is really doing to stop the killing in the Mideast.
I'll take Biden over the orange dictator all day, let's get real. It really is a lesser of 2 evils.
We did in 2020. It moved rightward.
Ah yes, that's why union support is at a 60 year high.
Lol you think Biden is right of Trump. Right well thank you for letting me know I don't have to reply any further.
Not what I said but cool.
I could sus it like you think Biden moved it right (lol), but that requires you ignore Trump would have actually moved it rght, which is exactly the Overton window is moving it as left as you can every step, but why the fuck am I bothering even with this you'll just say but but but but but but Biden bad! I'm out.
