i didn't watch the debate, and i won't watch the debate. i know biden's a walking corpse. but i would literally vote for a dead chimpanzee's excised brain tumor before trump. no single "debate" performance will change that

edit: it's amazing to me, how so many people think they're accomplishing a single goddamn thing by not voting LOL this is exactly the "thoughts and prayers" the GOP throws out at every school shooting: useless

enjoy your dictatorship comrades!

incidentally, how do i block an entire instance?

And there are many like you who will follow suit. But there are also many who simply won't take time out of their day to vote if they don't feel good about who they are voting for.

The current strategy is to threaten and blackmail (project 2025, supreme court, Roe v Wade) potential voters, which I think will backfire, cause people to disengage, and depress turnout even further.

I personally will not be voting for either candidate, and especially not Biden, because of his enthusiastic support for and participation in genocide.

don't worry, if trump wins, there will be no more voting

Sounds like a very important election.

Democrats should probably run someone not alienating constituents whose vote he relies on.

They should also probably run someone who doesn't make everyone who watches that debate start thinking "mabie we need to 25th amendment this guy".

We deserve far worse than Trump.

Death to America.
