Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

“vote blue” ppl are probably not volunteering and organizing in anything meaningful. campaigning for a fascist corpse so he can defeat the more lively fascist is not meaningful.

democrats are identical to republicans on immigration, healthcare, wage stagnation, and tax breaks for the wealthy. and their inaction on abortion, the dismantling of LGBT rights, and climate change make them effectively no different from republicans on this. so what makes them better?

im not voting for someone who entered politics as a segregationist and hasnt demonstrated meaningful change in that position. someone who is “personally opposed” to abortion. someone who allowed the right to take away our rights while he was the head of state/government

if we vote for biden it sends the message that we are okay with what is happening, what he is allowing to happen. even if biden said he would fight for Medicare for all and a $15 min wage, why should i believe him? what has he kept his promise on? i can name one promise he kept: nothing will fundamentally change. except that was only a half-truth bc it actually got worse
