I've noticed a lot of posts asking how we're going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.

So I'm curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?

The real question I have is, what is the alternative plan? I think I know the answer sadly: there isn't one.

We like to walk around with our big materialists dicks swinging about but once that theoretical rubber hits the material road its all road rash and no action.

So what's the plan? Are we all just hyper-individualists or are we collectivists? Could we even unify behind a candidate at all?

Because ill keep it 100 with you: I don't have a fucking plan, and I think no one else does either and instead of just saying that out loud, we'll justify whatever we do with some pious notion centered around some moral ideal.

"A vote for Joe is a vote for Genocide"

"A vote for Trump/whoever is a vote for Fascism"

"Given the choice between Hitler and Mussolini, I'll chose neither"

A bunch of paper mache pillars we build for ourselves to stand on while looking down at everyone else around us.

Call me when theres a plan.

Nothing can stop me from writing in Hunter Biden.

Daily reminder that out of all post-WWII GOP presidents, Trump isn't the worst one and is rather run-of-the-mill. From bad to ghoul in human form, it's Ford < Ike/Bush Sr < Trump/Nixon < Reagan < Dubya. On the other hand, Biden is horrible as a Democrat. Post-FDR Democrat presidents from bad to ghoul, it's JFK << Carter < LBJ/Clinton/Obama < Biden < Truman. Combining the two would be like JFK << Ford/Carter < LBJ/Clinton/Obama/Ike/Bush Sr < Biden/Trump/Nixon < Truman/Reagan < Dubya.
