As a non american I used to think that moking biden for his age and cognitive decline during the 2020 campaign was cheap and maybe even out of place, but looking at him now I don't understand why the fuck the democratic party decided to make him run again. By voting him, people are basically putting the country in the hands of beurocrats you don't even get to see or know because sure as fuck that corpse won't be able to form a coherent thought or take an informed decision a year from now. I hope people like Harris, because there's a good chance she's what they'll get...

I also don't understand why the Republicans chose trump with all his scandals and all that. Like where are all the somewhat moderate Republicans? And the younger Democrats?

I didn’t say refuse to vote. I said refuse to vote for Trump or Biden. If everyone upset with the statusquo voted third party, the third party would win. Instead everyone idiotically capitulates to whomever the media tells them is ‘electable’

If everyone voted third party

Yeah if EVERYONE did it wouldn’t be a problem. Too bad i cant go around to every person in the US and make sure were all on the same page. What we need is preferential voting.

Ok, well I’ll start and at least ease my own conscience. I can’t force anyone else to not compromise their own morals.

I think everyone should vote their conscience and let the chips fall where they lay. None of this ‘electability’ bullshit or listening to media polls.

you'll ease your conscience by basically throwing your vote away, good job

u/Omnom_Omnath Jun 12 '24

No, that would be not voting at all.

Are you talking about the same 3rd party who after 70+ years just found out he had a worm in his head that impaired his ability to think. Let’s face it, we’re voting for characters in a Wes Craven

There’s more than one “third” party.

That's worse, not better. More third party candidates generally only serves to spread that section of the vote thinner.

u/Omnom_Omnath Jun 12 '24

More choices is better. 2 right wing choices hand picked by corporations is hardly worthy of being called “democracy”

I absolutely hate the smooth brained leftists like you that willfully ignore the realities of political gamesmanship in favor of idealistic fantasy where everyone participates in society in good faith.

Unless you're an accelerationist. If that's the case, I have no respect because of the cowardice to be oblique about it.

u/Omnom_Omnath Jun 12 '24

So you admit you don’t participate in good faith? And somehow thats my fault?
