Biden has failed a fucking ton of his campaign promises and should be held responsible to it.

If Trump wins things WILL get worse because bigots will run rampant, encouraged the same way they were by his first election. Not to mention that for all his flaws, Biden winning will be a huge blow to religious right's very real plan to uproot democracy and replace it with christian theocracy by 2025.

All of the above doesn't matter because Biden threw all chances for reelection he had by siding with Netanyahu during Israel's horriffying genocide campaing agaisnt Palestinians.

It's frustrating how bringing up that we should be preparing to protect vurnerable people that will be targetted under Trump's second gets people defensively talking how they would be targetted under Biden's second too. THAT ONLY MEANS WE SHOULD FOCUS ON PROTECTING THEM EVEN MORE FFS!

I am never letting the online left, aspecially American leftists, off the hook for the fact they threw away any possibility for very necessary examination and reflection of America's imperialistic policies and symbiotic relationship with Israel, in favor of "Gee Genocide Joe sure loves him some genocide! Good thing that's an individual issue and personal flaw and the problem will magically fix itself by removing him from the office."

Are all ideas that can, and in fact do, exist simutaniously in my head

this is why bernie should have been the dem nominee in the first place

See this is the shit that pisses me off.

You’re 100% depending on other people to vote blue, so you don’t have to. You’re literally depending on other people, to do the “wrong thing,” the thing you find so “morally repulsive” that you’re not going to do it.

You are literally depending on these people to protect you from not voting. To protect you from any consequence. And you’re acting fucking superior about it.

The reason why your state is blue, is because people are voting blue. It’s not some fucking permanent status that your state just has magically.

The reason your state is blue, is because individual people are voting democrat and other individual people are not voting. 

The reason your state is red, is because individual people are voting republican and other individual people are not voting.

Maybe they’re not registered to vote.

Maybe they honestly couldn’t make it to the polling place. 

Or maybe they have so much shit going on in their lives, that the choice of voting actually couldn’t become a priority for them. 

It seems insane to me that people think that their individual vote doesn’t count. Because all those individual votes together (or non-individual votes) = a blue or red state.

And you’re just assuming people are not going to be like you and do the awful thing of voting for Biden.

Why are you assuming that? You’re literally not voting, because you find it so awful to vote for Biden. So why aren’t you assuming other people will think that as well and not vote.

Do you honestly thing you’re that unique? That only you think this way? That only you are not voting?

Of course, those obnoxious “dems” and “libs” want you to vote and want you to get other people to vote. They’re scared and afraid and upset. Because there’s a very good chance they’ll be another 4 years of Trump and McConnell and all those other fuckers. And probably a lot of those people are legitmately concern they aren’t going to survive another four years.

Voting shouldn’t be where things end. It absolutely isn’t where change and progress end.

But I fail to see how not voting is a good place to start.  

--

If you don’t feel like voting or registering to vote and you feel like it’s okay because other people will vote blue.

DON’T.

Fucking assume people are going to be like the two people above and aren’t going to be voting. 

Or maybe someone legitimately can’t vote. Maybe legally they are not allowed to or maybe their life is currently on fucking fire and they have to take care of basic needs and shit and can’t vote.

Assume other people aren’t going to vote and FUCKING VOTE.

You not voting is not some stab to the establishment.

Voting is not going to fix everything. It’s not. 

But not voting will not even begin to fix anything.

Register to vote and then vote.
