      Cool! Do whatever you please until it comes down to the actual presidential election. Then, understand our very flawed political system has very limited options, and one is clearly significantly worse no matter what qualms you may have with the other.

        Biden can do whatever he wants. And people will vote accordingly. It is Biden’s responsibility to win people’s votes.

        People need to start showing Biden in the polls that he needs to address this issue. If Biden does not fix it he will 100% lose the elections Michigan has already proven that to us.

        Once the issue is gone, people like me will stop complaining about Biden and start complaining about Trump again.

          I’m not quite as pessimistic about it as you are. Regardless, not voting for biden is a vote for trump: it sucks, I don’t like it, but pretending anything else is reality is copium at best and actively aiding fascism at worst.

            Pretending that Biden supporting Genocide isn’t Fascism is the real copium and actively aiding fascism.

              You have two candidates supporting genocide in Palestine and one that also supports genocide in Ukraine as well as concentration camps at home.

              See it as an harm reduction mechanism, not an enthusiastic support. If you can’t land the plane safely, choose to crash on the river rather than on the kindergarten.

          He can. And if you don’t vote for Biden because he’s bad, then Trump will win, Palestine will be genocided, Ukraine will be genocided, trans and gay people will be genocided. Biden will have lost nothing, meanwhile. He doesn’t really want to be the president again anyway, and he’s not Palestinian, Ukrainian, trans or gay.

          You’ll sit back, sip your martini and be “wow, look at all those genocides! Good thing I didn’t vote for Biden!”

              I did. He didn’t listen. That’s why I’m planning to not vote, and let several concurrent genocides happen that I could’ve stopped by voting for Biden because if it isn’t going to stop all 8 genocides, what’s the point of only stopping 7?

                Try telling Biden again. Don’t forget to tell him that he will not win unless he stops his Genocide and that makes you really sad because even though you don’t care about Brown people being Genocided, surely we can’t risk a White person being Genocided.
