As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn’t designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they’re pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I’m legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden’s doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people’s existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn’t complete dogshit

    First of all, Israel is only committing genocide in the same sense that we did immediately post 9/11.

    My fuckin eyes popped out of my head when I saw that. That’s not a defense…

      It’s incredible how close they were to realizing something really important, but then just serve into genocide apologia.

      True liberalism, pretending that the genocide we committed and that Israel is now committing (and the US is complicit in) are ‘complicated’

      This is what you do when you have the political literacy of a 10 year old and you have already committed to the fallacious premise of ‘lesser evilism’, you handwave away atrocities as ‘inevitable’, while stating that your opponent, who does not currently have power, would doubtlessly commit ‘more genocide’.
