“actually if you don’t vote for the guy who lied about beheaded babies and is currently funding the genocide that enabled to the tune of $14 billion, YOU are the one who wants a genocide, because it could get even worse for [insert random minority group here later - Editor] in America! if you carry this train of thought through to its only logical conclusion and get mad at me for explicitly saying that hypothetical future American deaths are worse than real current Palestinian deaths, i will start monologuing at you like a YA novel protagonist before linking a barrage of HuffPo and Buzzfeed articles about the five things Biden managed to accomplish in between not saving Roe v Wade and not stopping student loan payments and mishandling covid. i am the mature one here”
i’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of this screenshot lately
Stop saying that hypothetical future deaths are worse than the actual real genocides that are already happening right now.
Sooo what does voting for Biden actually cost you? Like yeah, he’s horrible, but we can all agree that Trump is worse?? Why is this a debate?
Not voting even though you can is a choice, the average person reading this does not have the ignorance excuse, if you for whatever reason feel bad for making the logically least bad choice, then you should feel even worse for making an worse one.
The US American war machine will continue and elections will not slow it down, only potentially speed it up.
Voting for Biden while only very marginally better than not voting is still better. Will the Biden administration at least make a token effort to enforce anti discrimination laws? Yes. Will a Trump administration do absolutely everything in and outside of its power that it can to abolish/weaken those laws? Also yes.
Biden has to at least pretend to be a good guy in all efforts, Trump does not.
