    I think if you don't want to vote then you have the right to do so. Nobody should be able to force you to vote. But, calling this a strict two party system is disingenuous. Democrats and Republicans are more like two factions in other democracies. There is a range of ideologies within and the mainstream ideologies change constantly over time. George W Bush has little in common with Trump. Clinton and Obama/Biden couldn't be more different. Voting, especially in the primaries, can shift which political ideologies are going to dominate and that can make a difference. I'm thinking about the US Senate race in California. Saying Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff are the same so you couldn't be bothered to vote because they are Democrats would've been an L for you. One was pro-Palestine, one pro-Israel ceasefire, one pro-Israel no-ceasefire. The no-ceasefire guy won cause y'all stayed home to "protest"? God help us if you don't see the difference because the difference amounts to thousands of real human lives. You are not taking the high road out of a moral dilemma by not voting. They're counting on you to not vote so they can game the system especially Trump.

    I really don't get it, and them not voting just continues the rightward shift as left leaning politicians start not seeing them as persuadable voters anymore

    Once again, the D-R divide doesn’t matter when Biden actively puts GOP policy forward

    Do we really think he wouldn’t reinforce an anti-Arab immigration ban? He already did everything else the GOP wanted, all he needs is some sort of precedent to put that forward as well.

    Once again, we’re talking about the guy who hated Arabs so much he alienated the Israeli PM who was already massacring kids in Lebanon

    policy wise presidents are pretty much the exact same

    policy wise presidents are pretty much the exact same

    Biden has stated multiple times in his addresses “I’m a capitalist” “Fund the police” post-George Floyd, and called resistance “terrorists” and also prides himself on being a zionist and working extensively with republicans so he’s snugly in there

    with a lot of similarities to what you’d guess the republican party would be

    One big distinction is trumps appointment of those supreme court justices which is worth bringing up every time because that’s led to significant change in a relatively short time.

    Also as far as domestic LGBTQ issues and s*** like that

    I can’t be mad at everyday people voting biden for “harm reduction” etc cause do what u gotta do for your conscience

    but me personally you’d have to point a gl0ck to my head to make me vote for this f***ing decrepit ghoul of an incumbent cocksucker

    that being said i think everyone should vote for whoever they feel like. a lot of s*** stays the same. so f*** it

    a reminder that joe biden told the reagan white house to murder palestinian women and children in lebanon

    if you vote for him I sincerely hope you die of incurable VD, but even that would be too good for you 🤷‍♀️

    You’re pretty comfortable with telling people to die so sounds like he should have your vote too

    Yes the same colony that runs pedophile ring operations, has handlers, Pegasus to spy on everyone, literally never listens to the US (regarding West Bank settlements)

    “literally never listens to the US (regarding West Bank settlements)” do you seriously believe that?? lol

    whatever the politicians in DC say they’re doing is just for optics
