You can vote your conscious. That’s what these people are doing.

They will not vote for Biden unless he is against genocide in words and action.

People are taking a stand. They will not vote for a genocide supporter.

So you support genocide, but you’re mad that progressives don’t?

Really? You believe that’s a good talking point?

Wow.

Let there be lots of fucking!

What’s wrong with porn?

Ha ha… Oh, Ha. Huh? 😭

I mean, that’s what you’re voting for

Biden is super awesome! (Just to see)

Sincerely asking what do you mean by astroturfing? Bots? Paid commenters? Something else?

That’s ok, I regularly screech like a wild banshee lol. This is a silly anonymous online discussion forum.

But yea, the circles the blue no matter who keep running in are laughable.

I’ve already asked myself these questions.

About twenty years ago I made the hard decision to never vote for a self identifying neoliberal president. I made this decision after reading years of articles proving that neoliberal economic policies not only don’t work, but make the problems worse. I did vote for Obama so I guess it’s technically been less than 20 years. When the DNC decided and argued in court they are not beholden to voters, nor are they required to follow their own established rules, that’s what finally gave me the courage to stand by my conviction on this issue.

I vote every election, every year and every primary.

Thankfully I live in a state that was purple but has since gone blue. Biden will get our electoral points for my state I am hopeful. But I’m not going to bubble in either Biden nor Trump.

If you feel your decision is the answer to what you believe is the only important question, then vote for who you feel that you must. I do see your point. But I believe there are more important questions that I regularly ask myself and base who I vote for on that.

And this is why victims do not get be the arbiters of justice, nor should they.

This is why we have judges and juries. But enforcing a death penalty generally causes more trauma than it serves justice.

This is why over 70% of the world’s countries have abolished or de facto abolished capital punishment. It doesn’t work, it doesn’t serve justice, and it only continues the cycle of violence.

Just to give you an idea of how backwards the United States is on this issue:

Since 1990, at least 11 countries have executed offenders who were minors (under the age of 18 or 21) at the time the crime was committed, which is a breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by all countries but the United States. These are: China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, the United States, and Yemen.[11][12][13] In the United States, this ended in 2005 with the Supreme Court case Roper v. Simmons, in Nigeria in 2015 by a law,[14] and in Saudi Arabia in 2020 by royal decree.

Edit: I can’t claim to understand how you feel about your experience and what happened to you, which is why I didn’t address it. I hope that you and your loved ones have access to therapy and the ability to live your lives in peace.

This is why victims are not on the juries of their perpetrators. If we allow feelings and emotions to get in the way of a fair unbiased justice system, it’s not the way we should do things.

Sounds like he is doubling down on blaming the people instead of the politicians who accept bribe money from the corporations.

Trump campaign already verified he doesn’t smell like farts, ok pal

Edit: article about it

Someone said Biden feels real bad about the genocide, it must be true. Just because Biden gave Israel 14 billion in fast track funding without congressional approval doesn’t mean he is pro genocide. He called Natanyahu on the phone…… and said yes daddy, yes daddy! Ohhh. The left or the right nut daddy!

On the BBC this morning they mentioned the us primaries. Biden “soundly defeated his opponents in the primaries” or whatever dumb way they phrased it. Neoliberals gotta neoliberal their ships right into them there icebergs I guess.

I didn’t vote for Biden or Trump in any primary or general. Doing the same thing this cycle. I don’t vote for lesser of two evils. If you don’t like that then you vote for the lesser genocidal maniac. Makes you kind of creepy in my opinion and I wouldn’t invite you over for dinner or anything, but you do you.

Dems are going to lose the election so bad, but they will still try to blame the progressives lol.

Fuck off DNC

Nah see I am playing 3-d chess. By not voting for Trump, it is the same as voting for Biden.

I learned that from all the democrats on lemmy.

It’s funny to hear all the crybaby dnc sycophants who support genocide saying the same dumb talking points again and again.

I’m starting to think they are bots, because it would get boring just saying the same stupid shit over and over again.

In the name of Baphoment, ruler of Satan, prince of darkness, I pronounce you man and whore!
