some highlights (you've been warned)

I don’t begrudge the people who don’t want to vote for him. For those who see their vote as support and complicity, I understand the reluctance. If Biden suddenly said fuck gay and trans people tomorrow, I would not be a happy camper. I would not be happy voting for a politician who hates gay people and deny them their rights.

But I would still do it. And I hope everyone who doesn’t want to vote for him still comes around in November to reluctantly do so.

I honestly don’t even know what to say about this one… liberalism means voting against gay marriage for the sake of preserving the liberal democracy that… ends gay marriage…


Maybe I’m just getting old, but I have no problem seeing the vast difference between the two choices we’re going to be given in November.

No matter how much the children in the room piss and moan, there are realistically only two choices - 3rd party candidates only exist to spoil it for whomever they’re ideologically closer to of the two “real” candidates. Furthermore, Biden has turned out better than I expected - and I’m a Bernie Sanders kinda guy!

the grownups in the room have to make the hard choices and get shit done


Absolutely [I would vote for Joe Brandon]. There’s no other reasonable option. There are other options. None of them are reasonable.

commiting genocide makes you a reasonable option


And let’s not forget the right-wing trolls that shill the propaganda that feed the leftists rhetoric.

the anti-facists are the real nazis


Man I just want to vote for a better candidate not strategically vote so the worst one doesn’t get elected. Why tf isn’t Trump in jail yet

a lib gets so close to understanding

Sometimes life is about making the least worse decision rather than the best one.

and liberals can’t help themselves


I vote for Pedro

this lib teleported in from 2004. one of the more reasonable comments too


Imagine how cool it would be if the choice was not between Donald Trump and Joe Biden but instead between Gavin Newsom and Nikki Haley.

i can’t do this anymore even the libs downvoted this one I’ll let you enjoy the rest… if you dare

One side is working to dismantle democracy. The other side is not.

WHAT DEMOCRACY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? The one that enables your country to fund a genocide across the globe DESPITE the outrage of it’s citizens and the… WHOLE WORLD?

You would enable Republicans to take away rights from LGBT people in America. You would enable abortion bans and enable even more of the genocide in Gaza.

How you can enable MORE genocide? People are finite, you either commit genocide, or you don’t. Or you think with your tiny fucking libbrain that SMALL GENOCIDE is totally okay?

But for now, you have to understand the reality of our two party system, and deal with it.

Yeah, sure, do not try to change anything, just deal with our shitty system because there’s no other option. Jesus fucking Christ…

edit: I wanna post this reply in their comment section, let’s see what happens :)

there are some legitimately decent comments in the thread, so kudos to those few.

unrelatedly here’s my favorite comment… OPs response will shock you!

“Will you vote for Biden in the 2024 election?” [Y/N]

none of your fucking business. and before you accuse me of fascism, remember it’s the fascists and authoritarians who demand blind loyalty and vote checks.

I can of course recognize trump is worse than biden. I can also recognize that Biden is still bad, and call that bullshit out. Perhaps Biden should maybe recognize; like any human with a fucking soul that genocide is fucking bad and maybe do what he can to stop it. So far; all we have is vague promises and platitudes while sending increasing amounts of money and arms to the genocidal dickfucks.

congratulations, you provoked me. troll.


I dont need your hate. But Democracy needs your vote.

Torch him for Palestine all you want, AFTER Trump is in the ground and the GOP crumbles.

If you cant swallow your pride, then you deserve MAGAmerica.

Science has finally found it… absolute concentrated liberalism!!!

The worst part about all this guilt tripping is that 2/3 of the country don’t live in states where their vote even matters. When I was still on there was someone telling me that despite living in a Dem stronghold I had to still vote for Brandon because what if Trump rigged the election but if everyone voted hard enough it would be harder for him to throw out ballots or something.

They capitalized “democracy” lmao. You see, you must first give the demon all the power it wants, and then you can fight it.

Whitewashing of the actual U.S. role as per.

that last line is really revealing. voting for them is not about achieving a particular political end by electing a representative who shares any of your interests. it is an act of personal moral absolution, an affirmation that one is on the Right Side of History, so even if everything gets worse forever, you can feel secure in the knowledge that it’s not your fault because you made the Right Choice.

“We are working to stop the right here, so if you don’t unconditionally support us you deserve whatever the right want to do to peoples like you”

Yea, I’m not so sure these peoples are all that against the Republicans’ policies.

Religious orthodoxy. Instead of the two party system being in place to prevent independent political organization, it is the independent political organizing that spoils it for the two parties God granted us. The adults in the room don’t question their circumstances, they thank the gun for being next to their head and scream at the people trying to save them for muddying the waters.

Just to address the image, the response to everything else is obvious, but the “not electing Biden guarantees Trump’s win, and he would similarly support Israel” nonsense doesn’t mean you should just ignore it and go on to other issues. Your only “real” options are both committing a genocide by proxy and you couldn’t care less; it doesn’t shake your faith in the “democracy” that only Trump could dismantle. Why is this? (rhetorical)
