      WHY INSTEAD OF??

      You can do two things, and one of the things you suggest is EXACTLY what the fascists want. This is not an either/or. You can do both.

      Encouraging people not to vote for Biden is the most effective way to help Trump win. No amount of mental gymnastics changes this fact.

          Do you really think you’re going to get a third of America to not only rally behind a candidate that isn’t the two-party front runners, but also rally behind the same candidate?

          I’m worried about people refusing to vote Biden because he sucks and then the outspoken, proud fascist winning and stripping rights from myself and my friends, giving Israel even more support, halting support to Ukraine, and attempting to dismantle the little democratic power we have.

              The '96 election was not an existential threat at the level of the '24 election.

              At the margins we have voting for Biden or voting third party will do nothing but prop up Trump’s dedicated voter base. This is your impact. You can hate Biden and still vote for him if it means keeping Trump out of office.

              I don’t subscribe to your belief of widespread violent revolt if Trump loses.

                  If we’re considering foreign policy, a Trump victory means not only continued destruction in Gaza but potentially an additional genocide in Ukraine. Domestically he has demonstrated that he’s unwilling to accept a loss and will stoop to transporting fake elector ballots to overturn the election. That’s not to mention his platform which I see as abhorrent. I don’t consider putting this guy in the Oval Office to be an acceptable solution. Voting for Biden is the only effective defense against this. I have accepted that we are going to have a terrible genocide enabling president after this election. This is taking a mental toll on me for sure but at the end of the day it can always be worse. If we don’t agree on that premise then we won’t agree on much here.

      It feels easier to organize opposition if the people in the White House are just saying stupid shit about protesters instead of urging for sending in the National Guard so they can nuke Gaza without listening to the complaints.
