Lol okay, but this so-called “why should I vote” brigade is STILL not here. Sounds like a strawman to me, because zero 1 (one) users in this thread are saying not to vote.
Update: One user referenced not voting as a strategy to affect change, but then said that now is not the time for such a strategy
I did, sorry. But it has to be done in big enough numbers, which would not be possible right now. So, vote and start organizing for the next elections.
I made that comment before you showed up, though. I think there is an argument to be made not to vote, but I agree that now isn’t the time.
Regardless, that’s not what this post was about, but conservative and centrist Democrats will literally argue against anything except the points I’m trying to make, because they know that it is accurate to criticize our sitting president of multiple atrocities, including supporting a genocidal regime.
It’s appalling that any criticism leveled at an actual sitting president gets summarily dismissed by so many people. Sometimes interacting with such people genuinely makes me feel like not voting, because what even is the point, if we can’t so much as pressure our sitting president to do better? It’s absurd to me.
I can literally admit that I intend to vote for Biden, but that doesn’t matter. These people demand COMPLETE dedication to their sports team party, including holding any party member immune from criticism. Their “lesser of two evils” schtick is wearing thin. I’ve been around since the 80s, and it’s been the same routine my whole life.
