    Democrats dont have a better choice because they never hold their politicians accountable. If they did someone like Biden would have never been their nominee.

    The rest of us choose not to participate in electoral politics because our voices do not matter to them, they only answer to the donor class.

        Provide the name of a current candidate that has a chance to best Trump in November. Provide evidence that they have a chance.

        Just one name.

          Anyone can beat trump if they get enough votes… So Cornell West is a name that satisfies your criteria.

                  I’m sorry the capitalists and fascists have prevented you from seeing potential futures outside of their control. Anyone is viable if they get enough votes.

                    And he’s not getting those votes. So while knowing it’s not happening, you’re submitting a losing candidate. Purposefully.

                    And let’s not forget that you already admitted that you’re NOT VOTING. So your bad faith suggestion of West is also publicly noted.

                    Calling you guys out is too easy.

                ROFL… so you honestly think Stein can win? Let’s take a look…

                So there’s:

                LOL

                and….

                Well, it seems no other news source even lays her as even relevant. So… no. I’m going to go with,

                Name a VIABLE candidate that is currently running that can win.

                    Lol you’re just saying people aren’t going far enough if they aren’t voting, they should actively be encouraging everyone else not to also, regardless of what ridiculous lies have to be told.

            Biden is the boogeyman ‘they’ have you afraid of. Or maybe you are the ‘they’ trying ro reframe Biden as the boogeyman.

            Trump isn’t a boogeyman, he’s an objectively selfish criminal grifter lunatic and theres decades of evidence and receipts to back it up.

      So instead of helping keep democracy from crumbling to the ground… you’re just going to step aside because you don’t feel listened to?

      Dude… you’re not the only one in the country. It’s virtually impossible for a sitting president to make even half of the country happy with their policy…

      Maybe look up what Biden has done just over the past four years compared to the previous 4. Then read up on Project 2025. Then have some responsibly to those that live on your country that are quite possibly going to lose only their rights as human beings if they’re lucky.

      This isn’t a fucking joke man. Vote and then spend the next four years actually doing the work it takes to make the change you want. I even give you a bit of advice…

      It’ll take a lot more than whining on the internet. It’s going to be hard work. But if you do it right, 2028 could be something to look forward to.

        Take a wild guess how many decades I’ve heard versions of this

          I don’t care how many decades you’ve heard it. I’m 52 years old and STILL doing my part to stop America from being overthrown by a traitor. What I care about is the work done to stop it from happening. Because It takes FAR more than whining online every four years.

          And this happens like clockwork… EVERY FOUR YEARS.

          Then everyone disappears and rerolls as victims of their own irresponsibility. Every four years.

          So don’t tell me how many decades you’ve heard versions of this.

          DO THE WORK.

            I am doing the work by refusing to participate in elections that we have zero impact on. Neither right wing fascist represents me or the people in my circles.

              So by not voting you’re admitting that you don’t give a shit about Palestine. Because it’s well known fact that Trump intents to do much worse and he’s not even trying to hide it. While Biden may not be doing enough, he’s certainly doing more than what will happen…

              So since it’s not about Palestine, what exactly is your angle?

                Biden hasnt done shit but get more of them killed. Hollow fucking plalitiudes while trying to save his ass isn’t ‘more than what will happen’
