Biden won't. He'll win anyways and things will go on as normal because people are too complacent.
Lots of people said something similar in 2016. Don't underestimate the America public and the GOP to find a way to put the worst possible person in power.
Just watch trump will win and he will get away with all his legal troubles. Ukraine will fall, Gaza will be nothing but sand and death, and our democracy will take it's last dying breath as we fully become an oligarchy.
Or maybe Biden will win but probably not.
The US is already an oligarchy overthrow the fucking thing. Something has got to give. Aspire for someone that's not just the lesser of two evils.
Oh okay I didn't realize all I had Todo was overthrow a government with the most powerful military in the world and just aspire a little harder.
Thanks so much for that insightful comment I should be able to get this all done by Wednesday. Thanks for the bullet proof plan.
I vote in the primaries, I vote in every election, I try my best to get everybody around me to vote as well. I'm trying to work within the system so we can try to change it for the better while we still can.
Your username reminds me too -- we have to work in the system. For one, countries collapsing don't totally come out in better shape. But second, people rely on the system to get life-changing medicine regularly. If society collapses, a lot of people are going to die because they can't get their medicine that's necessary to live. A lot more people are going to be nonfunctional because of compromised physical or mental health.
And that's why I hate accelerationists.
Choosing not to vote is still a lesser evil. Inaction is still a choice. You are not absolved of responsibility by doing nothing.
...why choose the lesser evil?..
I want one.
And others are too scared of letting trump back in, so they bet on the "less awful" option.
Trump would be sucking netanyahus dick right now and already have ordered a nuclear strike on Gaza.
Biden isn't even in the same universe of terrible that Trump is.
I didn't say otherwise. I'm saying having to vote the safer option rather than an actually beneficial one is a shitty system.
