    As long as Biden makes it past the vote and wins, he could drop dead a planck length past the finish line and we’d still have mission accomplished.

    Let’s be real, at this point Biden is a placeholder candidate above which you should see the nametag “literally just not Donald Trump again.”

    Especially after that one Supreme Court ruling, I cannot stress enough that you are either voting for Biden or supporting an American fall into dictatorship.

    This isn’t just about moral backbone in standing up for those who can’t anymore, it’s about survival. We beat them back or we may as well accept that the number of us who are gonna live to see the full depth of outcomes will be significantly less than the statistical average for most elections.

    Vote.

      Yup, unite or die moment for the democracy, Joe has my vote, my time, my small donations.

      Besides, America has:

      • Under 4% unemployment
      • Record low crime rates
      • Dow near 40,000
      • Schedule 3 weed
      • Historic student loan forgiveness programs

      On substance, Biden has been a great president. On substance, Trump is a lying fascist who talks about being a dictator on day 1.

      Be a substance voter, not an optics voter.

        I dont vote for corpses, and i certainly dont vote for genociders. You realize that voting in a corpse means the actual president is accountable to literally nobody, right?

      I’ll only add that it’s not just Biden. Trump is a patsy here.

      Every D, any D, every election at all levels. For all time.

      If it’s a D primary I’ll vote policies and take a hard look at the candidates. That’s it.

    A weekend at Bernie’s thing for the next four years wouldn’t be the worst option for US.

    To the left of it all:
    Almost anyone else > …

    Still, vote Biden to prevent fascism.

    If only low-information apathetic undecided swing-state voters who will ultimately decide this election felt this way.

    Friendly reminder:

    • Biden won by only 40,000 voters in 3 battleground states in 2020.
    • Biden was up 10 pts in the polls at this time in 2020.
    • Biden is anywhere from 3-6 pts behind trump in every reputable poll today.
    • There is nothing from here until November to suggest those polls will budge, given their long-term steadily-declining trend, especially in the aftermath of that catastrophic debate performance.

    I’m not voting in this election. I cannot support this two-party system.

      Two-party system works whether 18 or 100 million people vote.

      If you genuinely want to fight the two party system, join local action for ranked choice voting, and support local parties in local elections.

        I already don’t have a choice. I’m British and I live in the United Kingdom.

      So don’t vote for Trump or Biden. Vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West or any of the other non-two-party candidates.

    Anyone else think that we should move presidential elections to an odd numbered year so that people aren’t distracted by the Olympics during the prime period that they should be learning about the candidates?
