    Nobody is going to make you vote one way or another, but please recognize the following:

    The United States is currently a two party system. It sucks. We need to push for more ranked choice voting, as well as direct popular vote.

    However, until we’re able to achieve something that makes this parties viable, we will continue to have issues with the right wing getting undue influence in our politics.

    Vote with your heart, but make sure that you’re okay with another Trump presidency of you decide not to vote for Biden.

    Keep in mind as you do so that more than one state had enough votes for Jill Stein that if they had gone to Hillary, Trump never would have become president.

    We should have viable parties outside of the two not great to horrible parties we have now. But that’s simply not the way our government works as it stands now.

    Last thing: you’ve become a single issue voter. This is the lefty equivalent of only caring about abortion and ignoring literally everything else. Politics is complicated, and I personally find single issue voters incredibly shortsighted and lazy.

          Biden. Is. Funding. Genocide.

          He is actively exploiting Bush era “emergency powers” that were never rolled back after 9/11 to sell artillery to Israel.

          He is fascist too.

          This is what happens when you let soft brained morons convince you that supporting lesser evil is mandatory. You support evil and both sides continually get worse.

            I genuinely can’t wait for it to happen to them at this point, just to measure how long it takes the settler menace to learn empathy. I’m told empathy can be trained into the monstrous and ghoulish; I want to see if that hypothesis holds.
