Some people want a right-wing dictator in place of democracy, even if they're not saying it.Yes, and those people are incredibly short sighted and stupid.
Some people believe if they keep their head down and stay out of it they'll be fine if a fascist regime takes over
Some people are in denial that it can happen here. Fascism can take hold in other places but surely not in America.
Yes, and those people are incredibly short sighted and stupid.Yeah, if it wasn't clear I was saying all three of those attitudes are bad.
Some people want a right-wing dictator in place of democracy, even if they're not saying it.You forgot the ones that think after the world goes to shit that humankind will come together and usher into a new era of prosperity and kindness.

You can still choose to behave otherwise despite your apathy. Adults do shit we don't want to do every day. You can do something as simple as fucking voting.
Like I said in another topic, Im too depressed to care about much of anything. If it makes you feel better, Im in NJ, so well be going Biden anyway.There are more people on the ballot than the President, your local elections are important. Imagine using being depressed in April as an excuse to not do something in November.

Im terminally apathetic.Or maybe you're just lazy?
There was that guy yesterday who said he's white so he doesn't care if Trump wins and minorities get killed because he'll be okay.
If you are living in the US, you are political person whether you want to be or not. These elections affect you.
Or maybe you're just lazy?
It's just getting harder and harder for me to vote for Biden. I'm still going to but fuck is it hard to argue for him beyond Trump will ruin everythingWas Biden really that bad of a president to you?
Holy shit. Wtf? What topic was this?https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80755138?page=7
Yet you care enough to display your apathy in a topic about politics when you could have said nothing at all. So, I don't buy your bullshit.
Yep, its a message board. I can post wherever I want. I let it be known idc and because you do care, youre upset. Ill be rooting for Biden on the sidelines, thats as far as it gets for me.
Well I hope you are not marginalized or even slightly a minority of any kind then. Because the cost of doing nothing is MUCH worse for them if the reds win.
Its the Ryu part people always guess wrong (its the BoF one).
Was Biden really that bad of a president to you?No I actually thought he was great until this Isreal thing but the fact he posts on tiktok and signs a law to ban it annoys tf out of me him not treating Isreal like they are in charge when we are the super power pisses me off especially as I'm pretty Isreal is the ones who got tiktok put before congress.
I'm pretty [sure] Isreal is the ones who got tiktok put before congress.
Okay, now we're veering into Jews-Control-the-World Anti-Semitic conspiracy territory...No we aren't I was pretty pro Isreal up till now but it's pretty clear to me the renewed interest in banning tiktok was because of all the organizing being done on it because of the genocide Isreal is carrying out they want it banned
My biggest priority, up to and including my own survival, is having no blood on my hands.That third option you just made up is some shitty fan fiction. All it does is contribute to a trump victory, which you seem content with
If I vote for Biden, I kill the people of Gaza.
If I vote for Trump, I kill the people of Gaza, homosexuals, trans people, Black people, Asian people, and Hispanic people.
If I vote neither, I kill no one and I passively let the world burn without being responsible for any deaths.
I'm sorry. That's the way it is. For the first time in my life, I'm grateful to live in a state where my vote doesn't count. Indiana is going to be red as blood regardless of whether or not I vote, so I'm not going to throw in with Genocidal Joe just because Trump's reach would be much further.
If I do show up to vote, I'm writing "the one who would protect Palestine" as a protest vote.
I was fine when Trump won the first time, Ill be fine again if he wins, but Im not expecting him to.Well, as long as you're okay.

If you dont vote and Trump wins your inaction directly leads to that result. The people hurt by your inaction still get hurt. Inaction is a choice of its own.
If saving the people on the trolly track means killing others, you're absolutely right I'd sit back and do nothing.As long as you get to feel better about yourself, the corpses don't matter!
If saving the people on the trolly track means killing others, you're absolutely right I'd sit back and do nothing.Even if it means killing more people and fucking up the whole country

If saving the people on the trolly track means killing others, you're absolutely right I'd sit back and do nothing.So you refuse to put in any effort to save lives?
No, I'm not. He'll lose and by a wider margin than last time. And that's if he's even allowed to run. I fear a Trump victory like I fear the zombie apocalypse. It's not going to happen.Okay so youre just willing to hope youre right instead of do literally anything to try and stop it
I think the best-case scenario would be for Biden to get reelected and step down shortly afterward. Kamala Harris has condemned what's going on and might, at a bare minimum, remove US support for genocide.
