    That’s quite the cop out response. You’re upset I’m voting for Biden but don’t have an alternative is what I’m hearing.

    Let’s ask another way: what do you wish I would do? Theoretically. You can’t say “do what you want but I hate what you want to do” without an alternative. There has to be another option. Because it’s safe to assume you’re doing that other option and you want others to as well. So what is it?

      Why do you think I’m upset that you are voting for Biden? You should vote for whomever you want. I’m voting for genocide Joe and I understand the implications of that. What I won’t do is plead with others to the same. It is their choice, not mine. I understand why someone would vote for Biden. But , I also understand others have different priorities and material interests. Forcing, or shaming others to vote your choice is not democratic… it’s authoritarian. And isn’t that what we wish to prevent?
