    As long as Biden makes it past the vote and wins, he could drop dead a planck length past the finish line and we’d still have mission accomplished.

    Let’s be real, at this point Biden is a placeholder candidate above which you should see the nametag “literally just not Donald Trump again.”

    Especially after that one Supreme Court ruling, I cannot stress enough that you are either voting for Biden or supporting an American fall into dictatorship.

    This isn’t just about moral backbone in standing up for those who can’t anymore, it’s about survival. We beat them back or we may as well accept that the number of us who are gonna live to see the full depth of outcomes will be significantly less than the statistical average for most elections.

    Vote.

      Yup, unite or die moment for the democracy, Joe has my vote, my time, my small donations.

      Besides, America has:

      • Under 4% unemployment
      • Record low crime rates
      • Dow near 40,000
      • Schedule 3 weed
      • Historic student loan forgiveness programs

      On substance, Biden has been a great president. On substance, Trump is a lying fascist who talks about being a dictator on day 1.

      Be a substance voter, not an optics voter.

            The problem is first-past-the-post always leads to strategic voting, which leads to eliminating 3rd parties. And, once you have only 2 viable parties, they benefit immensely from FPTP, so they’re unlikely to ever get rid of it.

            Unfortunately, game theory was invented in the 1940s, and the USA was invented in the 1770s, so the founding fathers couldn’t make use of game theory to work out a good electoral system. Oh, and having to compromise with the slave-holding states and devising an electoral system that gave them power turns out to have had bad effects down the line. Who knew!?

            I keep saying it but it is one big Prisoner’s Dilemma. The best next steps that can realistically happen are

            We vote in grandpa Joe.

            All these folks that are single issue Democrats FIGHT AND CHANGE THE SYSTEM. If you are an actual leftist, or just a Democrat, set the field for a fight you can actually win, instead of handing it to trump then fighting uphill with cement shoes. If it is a narrow miss, you have something to point at and go “look how bad we need third party options and a system that enables them!”

            (funfact, part 2 can not happen under he other guy) Losing the whole fight because you want everything to be perfect overnight is pathetic. Causes move slow nomatter how much the spastic activist brain wants everything perfect and right now. You also don’t bring anyone to your cause by being toxic about it.

            Note that “third party” isn’t automatically better, given these third parties. I wager a Green Party minded person would be incensed if libertarians won, for example.

            I’ll also say that the current crop of third party candidates are impractically minded, so they wouldn’t be the sorts of folks I’d want in charge anyway.

            However, if they became a viable path to office (ranked choice voting), I bet they’d get better quality candidates running with them instead of compromising and running as D or R.

            The impact of third parties on American politics extends far beyond their capacity to attract votes. Minor parties, historically, have been a source of important policy innovations. Women’s suffrage, the graduated income tax, and the direct election of senators, to name a few, were all issues that third parties espoused first.

        You’re right. If the dems split their vote and Trump wins he will definitely behave in a calm and moral fashion. It’s not like Trump is a vindictive and shortsighted tyrant. He’s an ethical, scholarly gentleman. He never behaves impulsively or in a cruel and mean spirited way. And if there’s one thing Trump is passionate about, it’s protecting the weak and downtrodden. He believes in the equality of all nations, and doesn’t consider any of them to be shit holes. And he’s definitely not recently on record saying that Israel should just go in and “finish the job”.

        This would only make sense if Trump was less pro-Israel than Biden. He’s not. He wants Netanyahu to “finish the job” exterminating Palestinians. I’m sorry neither candidate is great on your single-issue voting mentality, but staying home or voting Trump will literally make life worse for both Palestinians and Ukrainians.

            The question is do you have a preference in being able to express potential future preferences?

            As bad as it has been, the R team went absurdly beyond in late 2020 with respect to refusing to recognize the result of an election, trying to use fake electors, by pushing to reject the certification of the electors, and a lot of people campaigning for board of elections to “ensure Republican victories”.

            They are openly working to establish a China-like system where there’s only one viable “party”.

                Go ahead and tell the LGBTQ+ and every woman that you know that you don’t give fuck all about their rights to exist. Let them know that you chose instead to stand up for a country that you didn’t give a shit about less than a year ago over their rights to exist. Be sure not to forget to include that you are well aware that the genocide will continue with or without the aid of America, and with or without Biden in office- because you know NOTHING about how politics work.

                I’m sure they’ll be so proud of you for standing tall and curing them of that bad case of freedom they’ve been plagued by all these years.

We don’t though, we still need to do more work on that front, it sucks, but for fuck sake don’t risk letting trump win.

              Basically an instance of childish people who’ve decided that the West is bad and evil and therefore everything Russia, China, or North Korea does is good and if you have any criticism of either three, you’ll get harassed or banned. In this case, one of them is showing extreme ignorance towards how American politics work. And confidently so. I recommend against participating in .ml posts, because it is laughably easy to get banned by their thin-skinned moderation team for no good reason.

        I’d love to understand why Biden is somehow worse than Dangerous Donald with respect to their views of Israel and Palestine? As a laymen, I only see two sides of the same coin. And frankly, that is not enough motivation for me to allow Adolf Twitler to be president a second time.

                No, that’s not how “the math in the system works”. A null vote is a null vote.

                If “the math in the system” worked as you claimed, that null votes were for Trump, then Trump would have won in a landslide in 2020 and this year would also be no-contest, as voter turnout is around 60%.

                  You not knowing that is why your position is bad. The “null votes” went to Biden in 2020 (they go to the winner, not trump…as I never claimed. You misread that part). If you don’t vote or vote third-party, you voted for the person that ultimately wins the election.

                  The conservatives are going to vote and won’t stop voting just because their guy is evil, he can do anything and get their vote. You genocide clowns are only syphoning votes from the Democrats(GOP doesn’t care about genocides)…meaning your vote will support trump most likely.

                  This is not a hard concept. You can likely find a YouTube video that can explain it at your level.

So what third-party candidate has been shown to influence anything positively under our current system of voting.

                I am not American, but let me ask you one thing, is it worth it to take your stand in this election to rest your case in the fact that your vest stays clean - even if this is the last vote that you get?

                Because what I can see is that that’s precisely what happened in the Weimar years. People could not fully identify with one party so they made their own slightly different one. The only ones however to rarely actually care about policies are the fascists/nazis/right-wingers

            I’m not going to PMs, you can have this conversation in public.

            The worst way to convince Biden to stop a genocide is to promise you’ll vote for him no matter what.

            And the worst way to stop genocide is to let the ‘finish the job’ candidate win.

            Don’t pull that virtue signalling bullshit with me, I’ve had this conversation with genocide enablers many times. I hate what Biden is doing, but I’m not stupid enough to think that virtue signalling will do anything to help the people that trump wants to murder at home and abroad.

          Einstein defined common sense as the sum of prejudices acquired by the average person by age 18. He was making a point about how the ways neuronormative society expects people to think are highly culturally dependant. Einstein was of course the autistic person who proved our fundamental assumptions about spacetime wrong. Einstein was a great scientist precisely because he didn’t have any common sense. Common sense doesn’t reflect truth, it only reflects dominant social attitudes. Growing beyond those attitudes requires uncommon sense.

          If Trump wins, dominant social attitudes will be fascist. Common sense will be fascist. But truth and science will remain leftist. They will be very political.

          On the Cruelty Squad comment: I can enjoy a medium that was created by someone with whom I do not agree politically. Also, I agree with Ville Kallio on many points, such as uncontrolled capitalism leading to a dystopian corporatocracy.

          Also: I am not a National Socialist (Nazi) nor am I an anti-Semite.

            Yes, I am aware that the far-right is rising, this is a reactionary response to the necessary problems within Capitalism, rather than a progressive, leftist response. The fact that scum like Fuentes are rising in popularity does not make it good.

            You can enjoy Cruelty Squad, but personally identifying with media that hates you is silly.

            I don’t care if you don’t consider yourself an anti-semite or a Nazi, you’re a fascist, and that’s enough.

          Trump is a Paleo-conservative and is pro: democracy, freedom of press, free-market, and is not totally Isolationist. None of that is the ideology of Fascism.

        You don’t know that.

        Palestinian and muslim groups aren’t endorsing either candidate, unlike their vast support in 2020 for Biden.

          Netanyahu sees a difference. He’s definitely closer to Trump and already got wide concessions from him last time.

          See, the problem with this grift is that this time Trump isn’t a hypothetical. We know he broke convention on support for Israel to grant unprecedented leeway to Netanyahu already. As a matter of fact.

          Single issue politics is most of the reason we are where we are. The altright propaganda machine works both sides the same way and you’ve been duped by it. You think you’re doing some service to a group but your signing a death warrant to so, so many others. Stand tall on the hill you’re willing to die on, it’ll give you a great view of all the others that will suffer.

      We’re getting genocide regardless of whether Biden is a corpse or not. There’s too many people in the government benefiting from this conflict. Biden’s role is mostly to sign off on decisions that have already been made, and people who would block them are not running for president and are being suppressed by the system from even trying.

        None of them want to even try to understand this. I think standing up for something, even if it’s done from ignorance- somehow makes them feel like they’re part of something.

        If only they would make a half-assed attempt to try and understand how it works, they’d could join the rest of us in reality and we could guarantee a survival of democracy.

        Harris is the only person less popular than Biden. Which leads me to beleive the DNC will do what they do and make the worst decision possible, which is run Harris if Biden kicks the bucket or steps down.

    If only low-information apathetic undecided swing-state voters who will ultimately decide this election felt this way.

    Friendly reminder:

    • Biden won by only 40,000 voters in 3 battleground states in 2020.
    • Biden was up 10 pts in the polls at this time in 2020.
    • Biden is anywhere from 3-6 pts behind trump in every reputable poll today.
    • There is nothing from here until November to suggest those polls will budge, given their long-term steadily-declining trend, especially in the aftermath of that catastrophic debate performance.

      You’re wrong. And don’t think the fact that you all clamoring for a biden replacement didn’t just start after the debate is lost on anyone . It’s almost like you latch on to whatever flavor of the week bullshit attempt to disrupt democratic votes you think is going to work for you in the end.

      Before the debate it was: vOtE 3rD pArTy!

      The predictable silence right after an event and just before you all copy paste each others propaganda is INCREDIBLY obvious bud.

          Voting outside the two real options is giving your vote to whoever actually wins. That is how our trash-tier voting system works. If you can get whoever the fuck that person you mentioned is to be the DNC choice, well that is a very slightly different situation. I don’t know or care who that is, but I am anti project 2025, so you would still have my vote. Other idiots that don’t know how the actual system works would write in Biden at that point or just not vote and you did more harm than good, but your conscious would be clear.

          So, stop telling people to not vote Biden and go be productive in getting Aaron whoever to be the DNC pick. Then you will have some slight chance at being useful and causing real change instead of shooting all your allies in the foot, repeatedly.

            Also? If you’re anti Project 2025 then you have to see why we need to replace Biden. Be mad at me all you want, but the facts are the facts and Biden is polling behind Trump in New Jersey now. He can’t win. So join me it getting rid of him!

              You said you won’t vote Biden. If the DNC picks him and trump wins, you voted for trump.

              So go for it, get your no-name on there, how is he polling in NJ, ahead of trump? Hopefully he doesn’t lose the left more votes than he gains. I’ll vote for them because of my position…I have less of a choice than even you.

              My position is from AFTER reality smacks you folks in the face and we are stuck with Biden v trump again. Not voting for Biden in that not-so-hypothetical future is a trump vote(it is one less vote the other side needs to win), and if you vote for trump…yeah, I’ll have a little agro towards you.

                I have to use the only leverage I have to force the DNC to listen before it’s too late. If you don’t help, you’re going to get Trump elected.

                If I tell the Democrats that I’ll vote for Biden then I’m giving up the only leverage I have. I have to do this. There is no other choice.
