You know, 18-24 year olds are the least likely to vote.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL things unholy, prove me wrong…

    That’s the boat you are in. Liberals ignored leftists warning about Biden, yet supported him anyway. Democrats made this bed and mow demand we help get you out of the mess you created. I’ve been around long enough to know if we helped you would do it again.

      So just to be clear, because there is a situation where literal fascists might win (which you believe is bad… right?), you feel aggrieved at the not-actual-fascists for this scenario arising. Which is understandable! As a person in a country that is a real democratic republic, I would hate for the less-bad option to be able hold my vote hostage or be punished for a third party vote.

      But to follow the logic then that as a result you are motivated to let literal fascists win (which is… bad?)…

      To what end? To see the establishment DNC face another humiliation, which will make you feel very vindicated for 3 months… before an actual fascist assumes more power than any American president has ever had before?.. To destroy the capitalist American empire with the expectation that the American people will forget 100 years of propaganda and suddenly realise collectivism is the way to go?

        We have actual fascism in there right now. Changing the occupant doesn’t change the course of the country when they ALL answer to the same people.

      Obviously I can’t speak for all democrats, but I’ve never been a huge fan of Biden. He’s done some good things, he’s done some bad things. I would vote for a roll of wet single-ply toilet paper before I vote for Trump or any MAGA candidate.

      The “bed” I was referring to was mainly that Trump is one of our two options, and if he wins then it’s a pretty safe assumption he’s going to try and stay in power by any means and we won’t be voting for a new president. Yes, you are in that boat too if you live in the US.
