good thing i'm not voting for the other guy then

But why aren't you voting for your best bet then? There is only Biden or Trump sitting in the Oval Office come 2025. Pick the least bad.

Want to know the most efficient way to stymie an aspiring dictators power? Not voting him in.

"But why would I vote when picking the least bad guy makes me feel icky? Let's take a chance on the fascists taking over and just fight a civil war if they do! I'm moral and hate to see anyone suffer!"

Cemith posted...

My plan is to vote against the aspiring fascist, for the guy that I believe could eventually see reason. Pretty sound plan.

So you'll do nothing in the event you pick the loser except act smug about it. Neat!

Cemith posted...

Cool! So you're voting for the guy we can talk down and not the guy that would eat genocide for breakfast, right? And not RFK, the conservative in a mask, who has no chance of winning the election, right?

I am not voting for RFK. Also, liberals who are arguing for a pro-genocide candidate don't get to use the threat of a genocide to pretend to be the adults in the room.

Provide material or monetary assistance, protest, strike, etc. Depends on what is happening and what it needed.

I absolutely do not have to do that. The whole point of Democracy is that anyone is allowed to say who they want to win.

You are though. By choosing Biden you're voting against Trump, by choosing Trump, you're voting against Biden, by choosing 3rd party, you're voting against Biden. If you choose to sit at home, you're voting against Biden.

It's honestly that simple.

Everyone who won't commit to vote for the person who isn't Trump should be banned on sight.

Yeah I said it.

Lmfao these losers can't even leave moms house to vote. You think they are going to actually fight?

People gladly went to jail over veitnam and this group can barely manage more than liking tweets.

Like building a floating dock (costing millions) in order to get food to starving Palestinians? You mean...THOSE TYPES OF THINGS?

You can vote for who you want and be vocal about it however people are also allowed to judge you for who you vote. Can't handle people saying mean things about you and your choices? Don't make it known.

Yeah the only one of two candidates that could be talked out of genocide is apparently a bad choice.

I think the people being practical get to absolutely be the adults in the room. Gaza is one issue and shitty foreign alliances have been a bipartisan feature of our government since before any of us were born.

If that's what you believe.

I asked you what you'd do if Trump won and you said you'd vote! I don't have to just believe it: you said it yourself. Also I've not lectured at all on morals! You're projecting.

I think a lot of liberals would be well served if they stopped weighing "things that might happen at some point in the future" equally with "things that are currently happening."

I just wish the people who keep trying to vote shame pplnto vote for Biden would stand on that and not try to gas light people .

I'll stop "vote shaming" people when they stop willingly and publicly stating their dumb opinion. Nobody makes anyone come into these topics and show off their ignorance like it's a badge of honor.

I'm going to vote for the first time since the early 2000s, and I'm not voting for Biden. I'm a very liberal person, but fuck The Left now

Yeah your question about why am I bothering with third party is that I don't like the two main candidates but still want to vote. And like Larry Hogan a lot of people in Maryland liked what he did and he actually shut Maryland down during the pandemic where as a lot of other conservative Governors did not.

And Larry is also pro-genocide. So it's a bit pointless to being him up if he is just "Biden, but worse."

What material assistance? How much monetary assistance? Where will you protest? How long will you strike for?

I'm asking you why voting is not a waste of time for you when you know that voting third party will not ever result in a chance of your candidate winning. I could somewhat see some logic if you were voting for other candidates for other races on the ballot but you stated you only vote for President. So you are literally wasting your time by voting, because you aren't actually voting for a candidate that has a chance of winning, and you aren't voting for any of the seats.

Can you explain why you find it worth voting in your particular case? Don't say "I want to vote".

I mean, you're going to have a very hard time finding someone who isn't Pro-Isreal considering how much of a stranglehold it has on our political system.

cjsdowg posted...

Funny how you guys are more bad at the common people who don't want to support a genocide then you are the dude is supporting a genocide. If Biden was supporting idi amin would you vote for him to make sure Trump doesn't get into office, how about Pol Pot ?

"Would you vote for a lame establishment dem to prevent a fascist?"

"OH YEAH HOW ABOUT OTHER FASCIST DICTATORS?"

This isn't the salient gotcha you think it is.

cjsdowg posted...

I'm not a politician. If someone changes their vote to support a literal fascist that tried to overthrow the government when he lost simply because someone on the internet was being a big meany head to their publicly shared opinions, they were always going to look for a reason to be fine with the fascist winning in the first place.

They still doesn't explain why you are seemingly more made at the people who don't want to support Biden for his literal funding of a genocide over Biden for doing it in the first place.

I can't speak for Heineken, but I personally am really pissed about Gaza. Fortunately I can exercise critical thinking so I still understand Biden is the only reasonable choice. No one that is adamantly for Gaza that cannot also decouple Trump's abhorrent impact from winning his election is not exercising common sense.

The people who say they won't vote for Biden, to me, are the epitome of the "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." Like you said, Gaza is a fucking shit show, but I also don't have tunnel vision and it's sad that others do.

You mean things currently happening like an entire political party being a cult for some reality show host and Hitler fanboy for almost a decade? You mean things like the oppression and stripping of rights in every part of the country they have power in, and how they promise to continue at the national level? If current actions and their proven track record don't tell you exactly what they'll do with more power, then what will?

Fuck fucking Biden! I don't give a flying shit about Biden! I'm voting because less people will suffer than if we let the subhuman Nazi fucks win the White Hoise.

But I guess a lot of people just hate women and minorities and want the entire world to burn if they can't get a good candidate instead of "better than the other one"

If you can't tell me why Trump is BETTER and less harmful, then I don't give a damn.

I'm going to ask the people on CE who are spending so much energy vote shaming: what would you do in order to get one more person to vote for Biden in (pick your favorite swing state)?

Throw aside legality for a second, if you could pay someone on Gamefaqs $10 to vote for Biden, would you?

As someone who also lives in Maryland, voting the top of the ballot in the election *is* a waste of time.

Thankfully it has the outcome I want it to have.

It still doesn't explain why you know Biden is less bad than Trump and you still won't vote in your best interests. What does anyone gain by that, including Palestinians?

Im not voting for Biden, but its not due to insanity or bigotry. Its just because Im not an American citizen.

Hey man how's that been going so far?

I think a lot of liberals would be well served if they stopped weighing "things that might happen at some point in the future" equally with "things that are currently happening."

It's going pretty well considering the variables that exist. Latest report (today) says they will start construction within the week. But that pisses you off doesn't it because you really don't give one shit about those starving Palestinians do you?

Imagine instead of saying "Yes....exactly like building that dock" you instead mock it and get angry that someone brought it up as an example.

You just want to use their terror and strife as a weapon against Biden. Just pure evil on display here.

Just a friendly reminder that there is a reason people want you to accept Biden's current stance rather than protest it in any meaningful way. If you're wondering what that reason might be, take a look at past topics and take note of how many such people eventually slip up and parrot IDF propaganda.

Biden should stop giving bombs to Israel now so Israel could end the blockade of aid instead of waiting for a pier and killing people with aid drops.

You are in no position to claim anyone is "right wing" given your support for Israel and repeating of IDF propaganda.

I 100% agree that there should have been no weapon or monetary aid given to Israel at all. But you are living in a fucking fantasy land if you think Israel wants to stop until they can settle all of Gaza. Bibi is doing his life-long legacy killing program just like Putin.

Take a look at the Israel-Palestinian threads to see just how I am against this genocide. How perfectly right-wing you are...just flat out fucking lying.

I don't think people should be at people's throats over still supporting Biden or choosing not to because you dont feel his handling of Israel isnt enough.

Not I. Anyone can vouch that I am loudly anti-Israel.

So from what I get from this topic. A lot of people are so focused on the issue with Gaza than what's happening at home too, dissuaded them from voting to keep out Trump?

Biden's support of giving weapons to Israel despite telling his counterpart to call for a ceasefire destroys all chances of him getting your vote. Foreign policy now trumps domestic ones?
