First of all, if you claim to be a "leftist" and hate President Biden then you're most likely just a Trumper pretending to be a Liberal for attention and trolling. Secondly, I can't believe you already made Biden lose in 2024! Every time you Berners refuse to vote for a democrat because they aren't "left enough" you're actually voting for Trump. Besides, Biden is the most progressive candidate and he's doing his best to create us the perfect economy. And did you know that Biden is actually the most union president ever? He even says he supports them. It's ridiculous that we have to keep reminding you progressive voters every 4 years that democracy itself is at stake and the only way to preserve it is by voting really hard for the blue guys. Sure there are bad apples on both sides, but at least democrats are fighting for freedom 'and reason against the GOP who is mostly just putin Trump worshippers. It all comes down to this, Hexbears, what will it be? Democratic Democracy with a President we can be proud of or Trump republican?

P.S. if you really want a super leftist president you can sign this change.org petition to make kamala and hillary the first woman presidents/vice presidents in 2028

the trick is to not vote, and then tell both sides you didn't vote, so it's like you actually voted for each both sides at the same time which is voter fraud

Me committing voter fraud by not voting 10,000 times thereby giving 10,000 votes to both Trump and Biden dril

realizing that even after... well, Joe Biden's entire career, but especially the last few years, that most people I know and care about would still be mortified to know I didn't and I won't vote for him, is pretty fucking brutal. I'm not even asking anyone else not to vote for him, it doesn't really fucking matter, though I wish that they'd lose their illusions about dems being meaningfully different than republicans...

I just want to be able to say "I cannot and will not vote for that racist, rapist, genocide supporting, capitalist, imperialist pig" and have people understand and nod, even if they don't agree.

It's depressing passing a small tent camp on my commute and thinking about the billions that will be spent on elections next year....

Personally, I think not voting at all is foolish, considering how much blood was spilled to secure that right. I think refusing to vote at all spits in the face countless civil rights leaders. Ballot initiatives, State constitutional amendments, local school board, mayor these are all votes where your voice actually does matter.

Not voting for president, meh, I understand why you don't want to vote for a genocider. But I will bully and harass people who don't vote at all, because on a local level it matters. Your state might have a ballot initiative that legalizes outdoor camping, making unhoused people's lives slightly less miserable, taxes and bonds for schools and roads, things that directly affect you.
