those things are bound to happen anyway regardless of the clown you guys elected.

ukraine is already abandoned, too, under the flag of a democrat you voted in.

voting doesnt work because we vote then go right back to doing absolutely nothing

Unless you guys are ready to have the revolution today, you need to vote Biden if you don't want Trump to win. Period.

The Democratic party when it absolutely refuses to appeal to anyone, but feels entitled to their votes anyway:

It's like they're saying, "If you don't vote for us because we shifted to the right, it's your fault that we shifted to the right to get more votes on the right."

It seems like the party doesn't refuse to appeal to certain voters...

I am...off the loop with US politics. Could someone explain please? :(

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

some people in the US whose politics otherwise align with Biden don't plan to vote for him because he has supported Israel in their war on Gaza. but the likely outcome of people not voting for Biden is Trump winning a second presidential term, which would be disastrous in a lot of ways.

ie, saving Palestine by sacrificing everything else. we saved Palestine, but everything else is on fire.

Except there's no way a Trump presidency would "save" Palestine. So people would be saying they saved Gaza, even as Gaza continues to burn. So only in their own minds will a Biden loss mean anything good for Palestinians.

Why do Americans only have these two candidate choices in the presidential election? They seem so diametrically opposed, it is difficult to fathom how a majority of Americans could think either align with them politically.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It's a natural result of their election system. First-past-the-post strongly disincentivizes third parties from running due to the "spoiler effect" - say there was a similar candidate to Biden that was pro-Palestine, any votes for this candidate take away votes from Biden thus making it easier for Trump to win. Most people don't align with either party, but they don't get much of a choice.

Just say they both fucking suck OP, it's not that hard.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But there are nuances to sucking. We can all agree that voting between to 80 year old men to lead a country is a shitty choice.

But you do have to be deluding yourself to seriously say they both suck equally.

I'm a 100% sure that Biden will step down if he has a medical issue for example. The Orange Gibbon will stay in power with faked medicals even if he develops full blown dementia mid-term.

It's a genocide

A fucking genocide, Lepinkain.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trump will commit more genocide at home and abroad. Millions of people dying is worse. It's millions of fucking people dasgoat.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

And Biden is actively aiding and abetting a genocide

You can't just ignore it because the other guy is worse

Y'all are paying for a genocide

Trump isn't even pro palestinian and if he's not clarifying this, goes to show.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

I mean if his supporters stuck with him through everything else, I could totally see him promising to pull aid from Israel. Not that he actually would. But from the temperature online, it sure sounds like that could secure his victory.
