do you think that might happen by not voting for biden?
Do you think it will if you do? How does kicking the can down the road another four years help anything? These past four years led us right back to where we were in 2016, and 2020.
If I saw a person as an existential threat to my government, I never would have funded their primary effort in the first place.
seriously? "kicking the can" is worse than having another trump presidency? ok... do what you will. i hope you feel good about yourself, voting against biden once we're living under a textbook definition of dictatorship
We were told to vote for Biden last time to avoid a genocide (✖️) to get kids out of cages (✖️) to stop the border wall (✖️) to stop Trumps racist immigration policy (✖️) to protect queer people (✖️) to protect abortion rights (✖️) to take climate seriously (✖️) to handle covid (✖️) to "believe science" (✖️) to have competent foreign policy (✖️) to stop the polices violent handling of protestors (✖️) to defund the police or at least stop giving them more money (✖️)
Voting for a democrat is just, at best, voting for last elections republican, but without public opposition. Voting legitimises power and a vote for Biden makes him believe he's right to ignore his promises and instead go full on police state.
Now we're being browbeat with the threat of "democracy being destroyed" by a man Biden has had 4 years to do something about, yet hadn't.
