The word you're looking for there is "yet", and that "yet" would be doing a whole lot of heavy lifting.

I'll defer back to my initial comment - if you want to let Trump in and find out, you'd better be ready to shut it when he does worse.

That's odd, because if you bothered to look any further down you actually would see comments talking about Trump, and there were more before.

But that aside, you'll find that's because I'm not advocating for Biden - any more progressive candidate would've been better, but that's not what we got. What I AM advocating is against Trump - I hardly think I need to explain why.

Since it's basically impossible for an independent to win, if you don't want Trump, your only option is Biden. That's it, whether we like it or not.

Damn, you must've dug deep for that scathing nickname - but do you seriously think I'm wrong?

It doesn't matter what could have happened, who could have done what, the situation is that your choices are Biden or Trump, and one of those is a whole lot worse than the other, despite what some other people commenting on this post think.

So let's get this straight, after years of being relentlessly threatened, harassed, and retaliated against for attempting to hold up what little safety standards and quality assurance remained in their department, this Swampy guy finally gets a chance to deposition against Boeing, his moment to finally have Boeing see consequences for what they put him through, and he suddenly turns suicidal and shoots himself in the head?

Tell you what, if Boeing were expecting literally anyone to believe no foul play is involved here, then their heads must be put together as well as their planes are nowadays

Ah, apologies I didn't realise I was meant to starve and completely socially isolate myself in order to have enough money to put away savings.

Has anyone stopped to think the reason why the newer generations aren't putting money away is because many of them don't have that money because costs are going up and up while their pay is either stagnant or rising below the rate of inflation.

If they're going to write gibberish, they could've at least done us a favour and written it somewhere where it's actually legible. I can barely read the red diagonal text aside from them being somehow exempt from the levy - and we all know your debts just poof away if you just say "no thanks"

What’s the point of not replying to one comment, scrolling down, and trying to start a new chain with the same person?

Mostly because other people already have echoed the exact same sentiment I would have, and I figured it wasn't worth chiming in. However, as nobody has bothered to reply to you here, I thought I would.

Having said that, if you really want my view, I'll give it to you...

Like, I’ve explained everything you’re asking about multiple times already… If you can’t understand it, maybe it’s because you’re jumping around this thread and replying randomly to different comments?

What you explained is that you're in a state Biden is likely to lose, and that to have any chance of him winning you think the DNC would need a much more progressive candidate. That's a valid viewpoint....

However, refusing to vote in protest because of that is just plain stupid. For all intents and purposes, it's a two party system, so refusing to vote for one party helps the other party - which in this case is Trump.

And as far as your question goes, they're not mutually exclusive. I can blame the DNC shifting slowly closer and closer right in order to appeal to moderates whilst also blaming all of the protesters who think they're just one person, who think their refusal won't affect anything because everyone else will vote anyway - you act morally righteous when in reality all your protesting is doing is helping those who'd do far worse.

And that brings me to what you haven't explained, at least not to me - how can you refuse to vote Biden because of him continuing funding towards Israel whilst knowing that the person your protest would enable doesn't just want to continue the very same funding, but also openly supports Netanyahu in his genocide!

You're either acting as a useful idiot cutting your nose off to spite your face, or knowingly trying to disenframchise the people who would vote for Biden. Neither is a good look really.

I know understanding complicated political issues is hard, and I 100% understand if you just give up. But don’t go to the same thread and reply to the same person to have the same conversation you gave up on.

You make it out like you've got a galactic brain, 1000 IQ, incomprehensible opinion when in reality it comes down to either you vote for the future of democracy, or you do nothing and doom it whilst moaning that we should've all done better.

I hope you do understand that Trump isn't any better in this regard - he isn't just going to continue funding Israel like Biden currently is, he's already expressed his full support of Netanyahu's genocidal actions and will seek to help him further.

You can choose not to vote, but understand that if enough people come in with that same attitude, Trump will win, because his supporters don't care what his policies on Israel are, they just want him to win.

I don't know what you're on about... They're obviously and completely unbiased, and anyone who says otherwise will also get a pithy nickname

/s for anyone who needed it

Dude, your choice is between an insurrectionist fraud who is almost certainly a Russian asset and a moderate.

While Biden may not be the perfect candidate, the choice of who to vote for isn't difficult.

I love you unconditionally, but only if you worship me and abide by my rules (some of which I may or may not have revoked when my son ~~who is also me~~ came down to Earth)
