Not voting is a vote Trump. But America doesnt know how to think further ahead than the immediate result I guess.

Like I'm reluctantly voting for Biden, but that mentality is fucking stupid.
This is literally how Trump won in 2016.

Hey look, people who don't understand how our elections work.

Sometimes you have to just put on your big kid pants and pick the option that is less awful. That's Biden. It sucks ass, but that's reality.

I honestly dont know if reluctantly voting for someone you don't believe in is just as bad

I reluctantly voted for Hilary Clinton and I heavily regret it.

I was hoping that the Dems would learn from their loss, like great leaders do, but it seems like if anything, that they went backwards and got worse.

Like I hateeeeeee Hilary but 2016 her is vastly superior to 2020 Biden

I'd say it's better to vote Green or something than to not vote at all. That gives a clear message you can't stand either party in my mind.

There are many reasons over protest non-votes for why Trump won in 2016.

I know exactly how our elections work. I'd argue that the people constantly placing blame on those choosing not to vote under the assumption that they would vote for their preferred candidate don't know how elections work.

This is no different than a Trump supporter saying "not voting is just a vote for Biden!" We criticize Republicans for voting for whoever has an R by their name yet shame those who refuse to vote for just anyone with a D by their name.
Do you understand that the makeup for the Supreme Court for the rest of your life is on the line here? This is way more important than whoever has the D next to their name. Do you want to see rollbacks on civil liberties and healthcare? Because that's what you're voting for when you sit out or vote for Trump.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

I am going to vote against Trump. This is as repulsive for me as it is for anyone else and I am aware that it may not be an improvement. There is a choice to be made. "Freedom is the recognition of necessity."

That's something the DNC should have considered before pushing Biden. Hopefully they learn from it if he loses.

Elections have consequences and so far, those consequences aren't enough for Democrats to switch gears on progressive movements. It's not the fault of people choosing to not exercise an optional right.

Not everyone thinks like you. Get over it.
You are being immature. I'm sorry you didn't get exactly what you wanted, but lives are at stake here. Your moral self aggrandizement serves no one but yourself.

Elections are a referendum on the incumbent. Until we change our electoral system to something other than first past the post, if you hate the incumbent but don't vote for the most likely nominee to beat them (either staying at home or voting third party), all you're doing is dividing or reducing the opposition vote and helping the incumbent get reelected.

Unless we manage to curb this pandemic by November or my state expands mail-in voting, not voting in this case is also a vote for not catching COVID.

Not putting myself on the line for Biden, sorry.

You have literal months to signup for an absentee ballot.

Some states are pretty strict about who qualifies for an absentee ballot. It's nearly impossible in mine unless you will be completely out of the state before and after the election.

Here are the conditions to be eligible for an absentee ballot in my county:

1. Expected absence from the County during both the early voting period and on Election Day. (The ballot must be mailed to an address outside the County.)
2. Disability
3. 65 years of age or older
4. Confinement in jail and not finally convicted of a felony

I always forget how fucking voter-unfriendly other states are. As much of a mess Illinois is, you basically have to be a lazy moron to not be able to vote here basically any way you want.

Alabama. A healthy young man with no shift conflicts is not going to be approved for an absentee ballot and I guarantee that Governor Meemaw won't lift a finger to relax those requirements in light of the pandemic.

That was 2016. The only way to bring back the courts in our favor now is packing, which Biden does not support.

Remember that Biden smeared Anita Hill to help make Clarence Thomas a justice. Voted for Scalia and loved the guy. He's the one democrat that would appoint lunatic conservatives to "work with the other side."

Go ahead and vote Biden over Trump, I will, but lets be honest about who this guy really is and what's possible with him.

Oh yeah also dont forget Biden helped get Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court and is also proud of being friends with outspoken segregationists.

Dude. RBG cannot survive another Trump term. She just can't. We lose her, the Supreme Court is fucked for the rest of our lives.

Biden might nominate some shitheel, but Trump will definitely jam another Kavanaugh in there. You're delusional if you think otherwise and would prefer a definite boot on your face versus a possible one. It's a shit situation, but we have to make the best of it.
