I am not a man of any faith, but prayers for a timely stroke have crossed my mind.

Red Trump Blue Trump Money pump money dump

I keep getting texts and emails asking for me to donate to Bidens campaign. Not only does he want my vote, he wants my money too? I don't see anything sacred about our elections. When you have 20 people running for president (all collecting donations too) when we all knew who the nominees would be, its clear to see that this is just a reality TV show and the governing process is not something we really get to participate in.

I'm just gonna abstain to vote for president but vote down the ballot blue everywhere else.
Because I have been told time and time again that Biden doesn't need to court Progressives because the important thing is courting the centrists who will get him elected. So if I won't make an impact then, why does it matter if I don't vote for him?

It can't be both that my vote is the most important and not necessary. And I get the argument of, "well he needs to court the centrists who are morons and you just need to vote because you know better." but I know better and I won't just be a reliable vote just because they expect it they are owed it for not being worse.

I want a government that takes it's job seriously. Not expects to keep it because what other choice do I have. And my only power is voice and vote which is practically worthless as working class.

So either Biden will win because everyone is right. No left party in the US and they don't need us or they are gonna change tactics. But I'm tired.

Biden needs every vote he can to beat Trump. The only way we will ever get a true left party in this country is through Democrats. Beating Trump is literally a life or death matter for some people. Hell, more than some.

Yup. And if Biden is so sure that he will win then he will earn the votes won't he? Why is it that sycophants that shout that everyone needs to hold their nose and do what they tell them is the voting strategy instead of doing anything personally to inspire voters.

If Biden wants the votes he needs to ask for them and earn them. You telling me to do anything won't work. You don't have the sway and I say that as any generic person you argue against.

Also, everything is life or death because that is the nature of the world. And the institutional Democrats are never gonna be the party that lets a true left party take over. They will separate before the centrists ever agree to vote on progressive policy because it might change how the game is played.
