"please vote for me... NO DON'T LOOK AT THAT GENOCIDE I'M DOING.. just vote pls"

I'm under 30, but I remember when Russia was the big bad in western politics. Now our fascist parties are aligning themselves with Russia? It's very odd to me.

I dunno. Epstein was pretty high profile (and it might not have worked out great for him, either), but a former president is really high profile. I have no idea how they would handle it, but if we're lucky enough to see it, it'll be quite interesting for sure

Ah that's probably true. He's rich and white enough to end up in a resort prison, I'm sure.

I get what you're saying, but I think without that protection it's pretty likely he'd be killed in prison.

I appreciate your point of view here for sure, even if we disagree.

I do understand that Biden is the "better option" in this circumstance. And I'm not even American so I couldn't vote for him anyway lol. But if I was American I still would struggle to bring myself to bring myself to actually vote for him as it feels like giving my consent to this broken system that is bringing suffering and death to millions. The Trump or Biden decision is not democracy, it's the choice between two awful political ideologies which both perpetuate pain for everyone. To vote is to validate that system, to refuse to participate is the only way to not consent to the system which brings continued suffering for the whole planet.

Of course, if I had the means and ability, I would be out organizing and helping to build something different. In my opinion, that is the only way forward. Though, honestly, that ideal is sort of out of desperation since it feels to me like there's nothing to save from liberal representative politics, we'd have to build a direct democracy or something progressive that protects the vulnerable. Something that I hope exists and we just can't think of it the same way that we couldn't do better than the divine right of kings in the 1600s.

But I find myself rambling 🤣 Thanks for the discussion. I also hope things get better in our lifetime!

🤣

I'm not American either lmao. Just assumed since you're taking all 3 inches from Biden that'd you'd be American. Didn't realize the propaganda machine was outsourced yet.

Damn, not very civilized democrat of you tbh

Firstly, I'm not even American. It's not that I don't understand what Biden supporters are saying, but Biden and Neo-liberal ideas are harmful to me personally and also to millions of people. My personal example is disability. I rely on disability assistance just to eat. Neo-liberal politicians let that rot and slowly take it away. Sure, Trump will take it away faster, but voting for people who are able to shrug off my very existence is not something I'm willing to do. My opinion of it is that people who are crying out "blue no matter who" are privileged enough to not already be suffering much and are able to continue to stomach the status quo, but I am no longer able to do that..

All of this is, of course, notwithstanding the ongoing genocide Biden is propping up.

I appreciate your thoughtful reply.

Ah yes, voting for the kids in camps guy will stop the concentration camps 😂

Can you be paid to shill for the neolib machine or do you do this for free?
