On one hand, you have people who are mostly comfortable with letting Palestinians die. On the other, people who openly talk about nuking them.
You have a group of people who may be willing to throw minorities under the bus. And you have another group that is waiting for the opportunity to do so and make it law.
Both choices are terrible, I agree, but there is one that is a clear better over the other. It sucks, but you have to accept that it's the way it is for now and you are not going to pull some third party out of your ass. That is going to have to wait for now. You have to make a decision between the lesser of two evils.
I'm counting on you, Americans. As a trans woman from a European country which political climate is heavily influenced by yours, I can quite confidently say that my rights are in your hands.
Quite frankly, I can't think of a more terrifying thought, but it is what it is.
Don't fuck this up. Please.
Nah. I voted for the lesser evil my whole life and the DNC decided they get to decide the president rather than the people.
Burn it all
That's how I felt in 2016.
We can all see how well that worked out. Never again.
No, no, I've been assured that Trump was no worse than any other president, it's all the same, you see. Both Sides!
that's nice if you actually burn anything. if you just don't vote then you're just going to get stomped by fascists. either you actually commit to that level of action or you get rolled by those that do.
that's just an empty welcome to the fascists of it's not backed by meaningful planned action. the only way what you said will work is of you're ready to fucking go the second trump wins. he's not leaving otherwise. so either you're in a militia or you're pathetic and part of the problem.
amen. that's why the left is so bad, politically, and the right is, well better. they whine but keep voting. the leftists just whine and do nothing and get mad that the guy they didn't vote for didn't win.
Literally every grievance they have can be answered with "well then why didn't you vote in <X primary/off year election> where a candidate who would have answered that grievance if not built momentum towards one who would was running?"
If they spent a percent of the energy voting that they did whining about why they don't want to, Bernie would have won the 2016 primary handily, along with a slate of progressive challengers at his back.
If you want to burn it all, don't be surprised if you end up burning down with it.
lmao
I guess it's nice when you lot go mask off.
So you're gonna sulk. Cool
I'm sorry which side of that debate says we should have counted donations instead of the actual votes?
All but outright saying "only the bougie white kids should count at the polls!" and yet somehow the DNC are the ones who are the threats to democracy and subverting the will of the people because they checks notes counted the ballots cast for all the candidates in the race.
Just about figures that the "voting bad!" screechers think that voting in the primary is somehow putting the fix in.
