    So throwing away your vote is doing what is best?

    Great. When Trump wins, you’ll be just as responsible as the republicans

      When did they say they were throwing their vote away or voting for trunp? You can always expect false analogies from genocidal democrats.

      Political/Voting Apathy is a thing, if an individual’s interest and values don’t align with yours, you can’t expect them to support or follow your party. The Biden-led government committed a genocide, deal with the consequences

        It was implied.

        And do you really think the literal fascist will be a better option?

        No? Then vote Biden.

        We only have two options. There is no way around that.

        Throwing your vote away is disgustingly irresponsible, and those who do are culpable for everything that follows if Trump wins.

        It’s not apathy, it’s pure selfishness from those either too privileged to be seriously effected if Trump wins, or too stupid to realize the effect it will have

      When Trump wins it will be your fault for not forcing Biden to drop out. Ride-or-die Biden cultists are following the leader off a cliff when they should be calling for Biden to resign now (holy SHIT he needs to resign now, this man is not able to perform his job didn’t you see?!) and for someone else to replace him at the Convention.

      Do whatever you want, but don’t try to blame me for trying to force America to vote for a nursing home patient.

        This is the option we have. I don’t like it either, but unless some miracle happens and the DNC gets their head out of their ass, it’s either Biden or Trump.

        Refusing to vote because you’d rather stick it to Biden is not only stupid, but it’s exactly what republicans want you to do. You are inherently aiding them and Trump by doing so.

          No, our option is to voice our displeasure and force the Party to capitulate to our demands.

          Stop just laying down and letting them have their way with you. It’s embarrassing.

          EDIT I don’t mean this to be an attack, but I just can’t get over how peasant-like your mindset is. “All we can do is support m’lord and 'ave faith in his Court, ours is not to question.” Why won’t you even try to change anything? When did you give up entirely on the concept of politics? We need to rise up and resist, not meekly obey!

            I’m not “giving up”, I simply recognize the situation for what it is. I’m a realist, not a delusionist. Our situation is fucked either way, and the only choice we have is laid out plainly in front of us. We have the option of bad, or worse. I know what I’m choosing.

            By all means, voice your displeasure. Attack the party, attack those that got us to this point, attack the fuckers that continually neuter any attempt at having an even somewhat decent person running this country.

            We are largely on the same page. Fuck Democrats, fuck the DNC, and fuck the spineless bastards that support them.

            But at the end of the day, facts are facts. We can wish the situation were different, and we can fight for a better one going forward, but this is what we’ve got right now.

            So are you going to do your part in mitigating the shitshow, or will you sit in selfish apathy, willing to let the bad be worse?

            I know what I’m doing.

              You are giving up, regardless of your reasoning. You think good things are impossible and we should just settle for less bad things.

              This only guarantees that the worst outcome becomes inevitable. You create a shield for Democrats to hide behind that allows them to ignore calls from their base, which in turn obliterates voter enthusiasm and participation. When no one shows up to vote for your cynical candidates you have no one but yourself to blame.

              You need to join us in forrcing the Democratic Party to listen to constituents or Republicans are going to win.

                  If Biden is the nominee the Democrats are going to lose.

                  There’s still time before the Convention! We can still fix this!

                  And you won’t even try because you’re a cynic and have given up.
