As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.
I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.
biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence 
their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit
You're viewing a single thread.
Just spent 15 mins making 15 comments, a new record, what's your excuse for not brigading?
Edit: I got the thread locked, how you like them fuckin apples
I felt a wave of intense anger bubble up and decided to get a sandwich instead
Don't bother getting mad, judging by the responses I'm getting these people are political toddlers
unfortunately you have to vote for him if you prefer to keep personal liberties we enjoy.
I mean look at this goofy shit
Just off the top of my head, while Biden was in office we've seen porn essentially banned in some states, various types of vaping, consideration of a menthol cigarette ban, the House passed a TikTok ban and Biden has encouraged the senate to pass it so he can sign it, and we've seen 'free speech' completely eroded to whatever degree it existed with a clown show in congress of Nazis grilling libs over pro-Palestine protesters whom they both agree are "antisemitic."
Biden sure does love personal freedoms
Don't forget a big one. He literally did nothing when abortion got banned.
I'm convinced most of the US population really does not care that much about losing these liberties, and that the ones who do are gaslit by moral grandstanders about how much support they really have.
"Gee, it sure is a shame that you've lost your ability to deny me grandkids!"
I would like to believe that people act in their true best interests, but this is demonstrably not true.
People are short sighted generally. If something doesn't effect them currently or the effects are said to be far off or only in specific circumstances it's sort of normal to go "ok, that sounds not good... but if I don't go to work right now I'll miss rent. I'll come back to that later." And they never come back to it for whatever variety of reasons from exhaustion to some sort of mental block on wanting to read horrible shit.
The solution for this short sightedness is having people whose entire job in life to bend society in a way to avoid things like climate change or to maintain rights like abortion. The problem with that in a capitalist system is avoiding negative effects of climate change might not be profitable. So that person, to whatever extent they exist, is ignored and undermined. We end up with this totally alienated population of people who broadly do want abortion to be legal, who do want to force corporations to reign in carbon emissions to avoid further catastrophic consequences in the climate but they lack power. Everyone is distracted by their own bullshit, all this abstract (to them) stuff about dying due to no access to abortion is driven to the fringe of the consciousness. The worse everything gets, the more it feels bad to think about climate change or starving homeless or whatever else. Simultaneously people are having their housing security threatened by raising rent, raising grocery prices, etc. It's all just shoving people into shutting down, ignoring, and just letting hell wash over us all.
People are people everywhere, but only in the US are there USians. And USians are extremely privileged as a whole (on the backs of other nations), even when its worst victims face some of the worst oppression in the world (i.e., very unprivileged). As such, those who are privileged have an incentive to grandstand. That's what I think is unique here.
