    If you’re wondering why anyone who claims to be a Democrat would lend their support to Trump; considering he will be much more hostile towards Hamas than Biden has been in his support for Isreal. It’s because Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of how our democracy works. It’s not their fault either. Political science teaches us that voting is our voice and we should use our vote to express ourself. After seeing this dynamic play out every election cycle these type of issues always come up as a concerted effort to spoil the results. The idea that we can use the general election to express our opinion in this political climate is flawed since no one considers the candidates fit for office. No rational person. In the case of the presidency we need to use our vote as damage control because down ballot is much more crucial.

      The downvote bots are out in force today. Downvoting anyone who remotely suggests that abstaining from voting or boycotting Biden helps Trump, who is polling higher, win the presidency. That, or they’re all accelerationist fundies who want to see Revelations happen.

        You realize they’re saying this on MSNBC, CNN and numerous other news sources available to people everywhere. Why do you want to repeat it here? Kinda seems like you’re just attempting to drown out the people who are saying “I don’t care. If you want my vote here are the terms.”

        PSA: the votes can be hidden. They serve no purpose here anyway and people tend to downvote in a rather unipartisan way.
