So you want Trump to win, someone who backs the terrorists? Not a good plan
I don’t want Trump to win. What makes you think that? When did Trump back the terrorists?
Trump has thrown his support behind Russia, who supports Iran, who supports Hamas. It's not much of a stretch to say that Trump supports Russia in Ukraine, and Hamas over Israel.
Not supporting Bidens means you support Trump.

No it doesn’t. That’s a false dichotomy. A person can choose to support Marianne Williamson, or not vote at all. Also, framing it as an ultimatum makes a voter defensive and more likely to vote for someone else.
And that accomplishes nothing but a Trump victory.
Also you know that Williamson has her own hang ups right? Older gay people seem to have a very visceral dislike of her for the AIDS epidemic. She ended up convincing people that the illness was a "psychic scream" from your body, telling you to love yourself more.
So they went off their medications, and then died, thinking they were incapable of loving themselves hard enough. Williamson hasn't apologized at all for it and outright lies about what she said.
You know what causes a Trump victory? The DNC putting forward corporate candidates that don't inspire their base, and then saying if you don't vote for them that you support the other party.
You say their base as if you're not talking about the demographic that couldn't be assed to turn out to the primaries to back the candidate they were allegedly so inspired by.
You mean to support the candidate that the DNC was actively sabotaging and had secret agreements with their adversary?
Yeah, he could have won anyways if y'all could have actually given a fuck instead of lecturing why it was everyone else's job to just do what you want even if you weren't going to do the one thing that registers you even want it.
Sanders himself expressed disappointment that not as many young people turned out as he had hoped nor needed.
There's no getting around it. Sanders' argument was that he would get massive youth turnout and disaffected workers to win the election. That didn't even happen in the primaries.
I'm a progressive, and I find it utterly idiotic that some progressives would rather "blame the big evil DNC for telling Hillary there either be a question about drinking water in a debate in Flint" than do some introspection. If I wanted to blame all my problems on a nebulous government organization, I'd be wearing a maga hat.
If people have to be "inspired" to vote for LGBT rights and abortion and climate change, and they aren't going to vote for those otherwise, I'd frankly like them to get the fuck out. Solidarity doesn't mean "sure I'll help but only if I'm inspired", nor is there an existential climate crisis if you have to be "inspired" to vote for addressing it.
It's truly baffling to me just how hypocritical it is. These people don't actually care about the issues, they just want to listen to someone that makes them feel good.
Sorry that upset you.
I just think people should be aware
No it does, FPTP, not voting or voting third party is mathematically identical to voting for the major candidate you least agree with.
Have I told you who to vote for? Calm down.
No. I'm telling you because my fucking human rights are on the line, and the fact that that's not enough for you to shut up and listen instead of gaslighting me with "calm down" basically gives everything I need to know about you away.
Your shadow boxing with your own ego. Good luck with that.
You're saying you won't vote for Biden, that's a vote for Trump, even if you don't vote, that is mathematically a vote for Trump.
I never said that. When did I not get to decide who I vote for? Did I miss the memo?
FPTP, literally learn any math.
Get a new hobby.
