Did he do it for the memes?

        Not voting is effectively voting for Trump, and a lot of people are arguing for that.

        Switching candidates this late in the game is also likely to help Trump, and a lot of people are arguing for that.

                Apparently people here aren’t smart enough to scroll down to see the comments, so I’ll quote.

                Going into survival mode forever, where either party can do whatever the frick they want, because they others mustn’t win! Nice system you got there, where it’s like 50\50 every time!

                They present you a Trump and therefore they can even kill your kids, as long as Trump doesn’t win. It’s a scam… both parties are in it. But they divided you all so perfectly fine, you stopped thinking a long time ago.

                Looking forward to your comments, telling me about NO BOth SIdeS!

                And Biden enables genocide, among a lifetime history of right wing views such as fighting for segregation.

                Trump and Biden are not good options.

                People should be furious the Dems allowed him to be in this position today, not sucking it up and pushing harder for it.

                  Those aren’t the comments you linked to. You linked to:

                  Even if he goes full and permanent vegetable, he’s still not Trump. Top priority is stopping Orange Hitler from taking control again, so please for the love of human rights, vote for whoever has the the best shot at beating him - if that’s Biden, cool. If it’s Harris, cool. If it’s a literal ham sandwich, fucking fine - all three are orders of magnitude more qualified to do the job then Trump.

                  and

                  Im sorry, im just not getting this.

                  You’re worried about someone who says some dumb things when the other choice is a convicted felon, known sexual abuser, who’s actively fighting the democracy you stand for and first act as non-president was to try overthrow your government.

                  Trump should be in prison or hung, and you’re comparing him to someone who says dumb things. TRUMP IS A THREAT TO HUMAN RIGHTS, GLOBAL STABILITY AND THE FUTURE OF FUCKING HUMANITY.

                  And then you think other people aren’t smart enough to scroll down and find different comments that don’t even say not to vote? You linked to the wrong comments. We’re not the ones who either fucked up or were too lazy to actually find their proof.

                  But even with that, “the system sucks and the Democrats have enabled it to become this way” aren’t calls to not vote. Biden isn’t a good option and people should be furious at the Democrats for allowing this to come about.

                    That’s the point of linking comment threads, so you can see the context and read between the lines. One of those threads, their own replies remove any ambiguity of their meanings.

                    And the reason those linked to the parent is simply how lemmy (vanilla, at least) works when copying a comment link. At least without fuss. And I’m on mobile.

                    But whatever, there’s plenty of context just from the original links I sent. I really don’t give a shit if it’s not wrapped up nicely enough for you. I quickly provided counter examples from comments older than his without even trying to find them.
