All I'm hearing from your comment is we should all become single issue voters regardless of outcome. This is a bad take.
you're right, we can't be single issue voters. We can't just focus on the palestine genocide. we should also focus on labor rights for all workers (nods to the railway workers); ending the for profit education system currently in place, not just temporarily pausing payments on student loan debt, or cancelling debt for a few people; Abolishing for profit prison systems; Abolishing legal slavery of incarcerated individuals; ensuring affordable medical care by enacting a single payer system similar to Canada; enforce a livable minimum wage; tax the rich at a fair rate; codify reproductive rights of women
Those are my issues and joe has failed on them. I'm not saying that Trump would be better, but don't call me a single issue voter when all the issues are what joe has failed me on.
Yeah, all these are problems, but how is not voting or voting for the Republican Candidate (probably going to be Trump) will solve these issues? In most cases it won't. You're just upset at Biden personally for some of the decisions he made that were bad and want punish him personally for that so you can feel better. Even if it does cause way more problems than it solves. Even if it harms innocent people.
And hey, it's fine and human to vengeful, but to be vengeful to the point of self harm is stupid. Don't be stupid.
we keep putting it off as voting for the lesser of 2 evils. i held my nose and voted clinton in 16, voted biden in 20 and i have to vote for him again now. but when do i get to vote on someone who actually will do something i want them to do? 28? 32? ever? At what point should we stop voting for the lesser of evils and vote for someone we actually agree with?
