Biden sucks... but vote for him. I mean the two party system sucks, first passed the post sucks, gerrymandering sucks... but the republican party sucks even more. I'd rather have a dottering old liberal than an outright fascist, and at the same time the system won't be reformed because of an election cycle. People need to organise, get off their lazy butts. But since you ain't doing that, there's only one thing to do.

Vote Biden. Don't be dumb. It's like the only sane alternative, no matter how insane that sounds.

Do you think that's any comfort to the Palestinians Biden is helping to genocide?

What's that? Somebody thinks that a different president is going to stop the drones and bombings!? Like they're not tied up in deals?! Like if a third party candidate won the process would just magically stop?!?!

Bush made the bombs drop, Obama made the bombs drop, Trump made the bombs drop, Biden made the bombs drop... wtf do you think the next president will do? The CIA tells them what's what and that's it.

Vote Biden, or get a republican president. Your call.

I know. This was clapback to all those who think the notion of voting third party does anything else but taking away votes from the democrats. It's naive, it's dumb, it's quite frankly ignorant. Change in power dynamics happens from the ground up, not the top down.

Just calling a spade a spade.
