    Ya. Ignore the genocide. And the strong history if being against gay marriage and abortion. And the doing nothing to address the codification of Roe v Wade. And the standing against cannabis legalization so we can keep jails full of peaceful poor people.

    Why would anyone have reservations against voting for that guy.

      And the strong history if being against gay marriage and abortion.

      And following this “strong history”, I’m sure he appointed a pro-life Justice to the Supreme Court and vetoed the Respect for Marriage Act.

      Oh wait, no he didn’t.

      And the doing nothing to address the codification of Roe v Wade

      Please identify the pro-choice majority in Congress that you’re apparently confident existed at some point since January 2021. I’ll wait.

      And the standing against cannabis legalization so we can keep jails full of peaceful poor people.

      Biden actually pardoned all federal convicts of marijuana possession. You can apply online at this link if you know anyone. He also began the process for re-classifying marijuana as Schedule III, though there’s a lot of bureaucracy to get through so that’s slow.

      Because Trump will definitely not support Israel and be very supporting of LGBT+ people, abortion and drug legalization.

      All of that definitely sounds like Trump. Who is also not a Nazi.

      You think voting for Trump or not voting will help those issues?

          You think actual fascists give a shit about your vote?

          Actual fascists, historically, work to strongly depress voter turnout, because the illegitimization of democracy is a core component of the ideology.

          In a two-party, winner-take-all system, not voting will just help Trump. Trump will be detrimental to your cause compared to Biden.

            There’s no cause here. Only dissatisfaction spun into a sense of disaffected superiority.

                Don’t worry, they’ll just use the opportunity to say “Well, the Democrats won’t be any better. I’ll just not vote in the Trump Dynasty Monarchy Referendum”

        He is fascist too.

        Neo-progressives are fascist too.

        America has once again reached the end of its “lesser evil” rope, and its just 2 fascist mobs screaming at each-other.

          I mean this honestly, and not attacking you in any way. But I’m incredibly intrigued as to how you believe The Biden administration is fascist as well. And again I’m coming from a place of just wanting to understand, not attacking you.

          Fascism is when I don’t like foreign policy, and the more foreign policy I don’t like, the fascist-r it is.

              Bullshit. Objective reality exists, and Biden isn’t a fascist. You are not entitled to make shit up.

              More to the point, you are not entitled to spread fascist propaganda (your concern trolling is obviously designed to help Trump). You are anti-American scum and you are not welcome here, or anywhere.

                Biden has adopted key plays from the fascist handbook and you are not allowed to ignore that.

                How many times do I need to clarify?

                My vote goes to neither, and I won’t allow you to take my truth from me to say I support someone I don’t.

                The 2 party system is critically failing all of us, and I am done supporting it. EITHER SIDE.

                I put my stat into the “fuck man, I’m disenfranchised” bucket.

                Stop being like a fascist and misrepresenting my truth in the light of your owner.

                  This is pure bullshit.

                  How about you ignoring Trump and co openly proclaiming that they want to do away with democracy and actually taking concrete steps to do so? Do you think that’s a better alternative or do you just want to sit on your hands and say “oh well”

                  If you don’t vote against fascism, you’re a motherfucking fascist. End of.

                  When Trump’s jackbooted thugs drag you off to the camps, I hope you finally realize what a dipshit you’ve been before the end.
