Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.
Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.
And with all you said, and the evidence we have of Trump being a fascist, people will still not vote Biden as a “symbolic act”. We may have a hellish few years coming ahead of us.
A good chunk of the accounts I see posting those comments are probably bots judging by their post histories. You’d either have to be in favor of a fascist dictatorship or willfully ignorant at this point not to vote for Biden. I don’t like Biden or most of the Democrats, but Republicans have done little to nothing for Americans that are not rich. At least with Democrats there’s a sliver of a chance with future generations that we’ll get more than a shitty two party system, with Republicans now there won’t be anything but regression and fear mongering.

At this point corporate america would need to be reigned in and Reagan and subsequent neoliberal policies be cancelled.
Also, the US should stop meddling in the affairs of other countries for it’s own good.
Somehow I feel none of the current candidates or parties are qualified to implement these urgently necessary changes
I have talked to too many people on here, reddit, and in person to know there is a significant amount of people thinking and advocating for this. It is going to be 2016 Hilary again.
Here are 5 reasons why people don’t vote. None of these are “a symbolic act”.
I am referring to all the individuals who are saying they won’t vote for Biden in the next election as a protest vote. People would can or have voted for him in past, or in an election. I am not talking about disenfranchised individuals but people privileged enough to throw their vote, and countery, away.
I am making the argument America will be much worst if Republicans take helm. The chances of not being able to vote again is way too high. If people really care about Palestinian people and not virtue signaling, then they will agree that Trump or any Republican would make it worse.
I have never, ever heard anyone say this, though. Who is saying this?
Well, Biden got the “not-Trump” vote last time but he’s shat the bed with the Israel thing.
He’s still got my “not-Trump” vote. I don’t particularly like him or how well he has performed, but considering the alternative? It’s no contest for me.
Do you really think a fascist like Trump will do better for the Palestinian people?
If you think that whole ‘Israel thing’ is going to get better with a literal facist in charge - you’re a moron.
There are more than two choices on the ballot.
Effectively there isn’t. Voting third party does nothing but give Republicans a vote.
