Seriously I’m so confused on this. The USA has a 2 party system. You either vote for Biden or you get Trump. Abstaining from the vote you get Trump. MAGA will have a 100% turnout for their God Emperor.

Trump supports Israel 100%. Again, by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump who is even more supportive of Israel and will also attempt to upend democracy in the west.

You don’t have any options here that support Palestine. The reality of the situation is you either get Biden or Trump and the latter is infinitely worse for the ideal you’re trying to uphold by abstaining. That’s how politics work in the US. You might not like it, it sucks, but unfortunately that’s just the way things work.

    by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump

    The same ol tired played out “I am a delusional moron” argument.

    1 + 0 does not = 2, dipshit.

    The REALITY of the situation is that both parties are the same. Both parties are genocidal. Both parties are stripping away our rights one by one. Both parties are making the rich richer. Both parties are making the poor poorer. They are working together to do this and then turning to the American people and saying “we cant work together, UwU!”

    By not voting for Biden or Trump, I am not voting for Biden or Trump. Period.

    I suggest others follow suit until we have vote worthy candidates, but I understand, morons like you are too addicted to the flavor of your parties boots.

    I am voting disenfranchised. I am refusing to give Biden or Trump my voter turnout to advance their agenda.

    I am making the only move that can force the end of the 2 party system.

    I refuse to be a whiny little defeatist piss boy who votes for genocide and turns around and says “but they made me do it! There is nothing I can do about it!”

    De-legitimize the 2 party system. Don’t become a fascist to fight fascism.

    Not that hard, moron.

      If Trump wins again, I am buying a one way ticket out of the country because I’m trans, brown, college educated, in a same sex relationship, an immigrant, and an outspoken liberal. His cult literally considers me subhuman and he is openly bragging about how he’ll turn the country into the next Reich.

      If Biden wins, I don’t have to uproot my life and instead continue to be disenfranchised by a party of centrists and conservatives posing as leftists

      They are not the same and anyone who tries to argue otherwise in this day and age is either stupid or malicious. Which one is it?

        no one is saying they are the same.

      Non-participation doesn’t break the system, the system will happily chug along without you. Refusing to vote just means they can safely ignore you.

      If you had a point, it was lost in all the needless insults. Grow up and try again.
