      Trump straight up said he’d be way worse in the debate, but people were too busy complaining about Biden to listen to what Trump said. He literally said he wants Israel to go even further and finish the job! Anyone arguing to not vote for Biden because they’re concerned for Palestinians is full of shit. Full stop.

      They never have response to this. It’s usually the easiest way to get them to stop trolling. That, or ask them who they’d run in Biden’s place that is currently running and could realistically win against Trump.

        I’m still voting for Biden or whomever they put in but I’m super grumpy that these are our choices.

        How…?

          I’m in that boat with ya. The “how” is simple. We have FAR too many people that sit on their asses In-between elections and they don’t participate until it’s time to vote. And in most cases it’s usually too late to create any good or lasting change.

            That’s not the reason, the reason is because the US electoral system is dominated by the interests of those who pour the most money into it, not the will of the people. Voting harder won’t fix it, the only thing that will is building up parallel structures and pressuring from outside, like what has happened for nearly every major improvement America has seen.

      At its core, I think it’s basically just the Trolley Problem. Some people would rather passively support a worse situation rather than actively support a better but bad situation.

        Those people are stupid and/or cowards.
