The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

            I think if you are queer you should look at the US map and honestly ask yourself where is safest for you in a fully fascist government?

            i’m not leaving my home. and america is already fascist.

                    Funny how libs rarely have to compromise their core values to vote for Dem candidates, while your party leadership aggressively prevents the left from gaining any purchase in the party organizational structure, but you have the gall to demand our votes while showing zero sensitivity for the left’s moral concerns about Dem projects like the ongoing extirpation of Palestinians in Gaza—not to mention the left’s very reasonable observation that concessionary voting for neolibs since Carter has created a ratcheting of American politics to the far right.

                    I don’t believe Trump will break America, because the Democratic Party clearly doesn’t. No party that believed that so much was on the line would prevent a competitive primary and support a VP candidate with the lowest approval rating in history, who has no constituency behind her, when the top of the ticket is 81 years old.

            hat’s the fault solely of privileged leftists

            when do politicians bear the responsibility of their own actions?

        Even people fighting for Palestinian liberation have to ensure Biden wins

        no. we have to ensure the safety of the palestinian peopl and their liberation regardless of what happens november 2

                without it being a spoiler vote is to vote for the 3rd party which siphons votes

                this is a lie. the votes don’t belong to biden. they belong to me. if i give it to someone, it’s not taking it from anyone else.

                So since you prefer Biden over Trump, you should be voting for the libertarian candidate instead of West.

                this makes no sense. i am going to vote for the candidate i want to win.

                only way in the US system to throw a protest vote

                voting isn’t a protest, so this term makes no sense.

              Great, and what are you going to say to all of the LGBT folk who get legislated out of existence because of your failure to protect them?

                  Voting third party is no vote at all. Therefore you are refusing to combat Trump, and so are complicit in his victory if it happens.

                  You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

                    no. everyone is only responsible for their own actions. I’ll be voting against trump
