    Also remember that we don’t actually vote for the president. That’s the job of the electoral college. They just want to see if we all guessed it right.

    Hey guess who is the next person to be the president? C’mon tell us! I’m going to guess Biden…I’m going to guess Trump! You are both wrong! The next president is this Gala Apple 🍎 with a worm inside!

    Thanks electoral college! Without you. How could we ever know who You want to rule over us all like a king?

    The glory of a two parties system. The liberals even call this democracy.

    I feel like a lot of the comments are kind of proving the point. If we say we don’t like Biden, then suddenly everyone assumes we aren’t voting and therfore are helping Trump. In reality, the meme literally says nothing about voting. That’s everyone else jumping to that conclusion.

    “I’m just reminding everyone!”

    Don’t worry. We all know how elections work.

    “I don’t care if you don’t like him! I care about votes!”

    Cool. Then let me not like him.

    Not voting for Biden is supporting Trump. Not voting is supporting Trump.

    This is the simple reality of the situation. Memes don’t make a difference in vote totals even if they make you feel special about being the hero you think you are.

    Genocide should not be a bipartisan issue. Genocide being unelectable even in just one party is good. If your starting position is “yes, both candidates will commit genocide” you should continue with discussion about direct action tactics. Otherwise I’ll doubt that you actually think Biden is committing genocide.

    A group holds a vote to either cross a bridge to side A or stay on side B. Staying on side A means you won’t have much food. Going to side B means you still won’t have much food, but also most of the food is poisonous.

    Part of the group says “I don’t want to starve, I refuse to vote in a way that accepts malnourishment as a solution!” Group C also opposes eating poisonous food. This partial group votes to try and find a better source of food (option C).

    48% of people vote A. 49% of people vote B. 3% of people vote C.

    Surprise, surprise, Group C had 0 impact on the starving situation AND helped facilitate the eating of poisonous food.

    Fuck Biden, and FUCK Trump. But if you think voting for a leftist party or abstaining from voting will change anything in a system entirely designed around having only two candidates, you are just as okay with Trump as you are with Biden. At the very least, you are saying that they are equally as bad, showing that you clearly don’t understand the dynamic.

    Oh hey look, another thread for me to post in.

    I will never vote for Joe Biden again and you can too.

    The party for socialism and liberation is an American political party that has a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

    Vote psl this November.

    ‘Dislike’ and ‘support’ are immaterial. Votes are all that matter. Sorry in reality no one cares about your super nuanced political position but if you’re not voting for Biden in 2024 you’re either useless or an actively opposing my civil and human rights.

    Ok but what no leftie has yet explained is who has asked them to like Biden? Probably nobody who votes for Biden last time or this time around thinks he’s “teh awesome”, we’re simply grown ups who are able to tell which is the least bad option. Honestly lefties (if they aren’t just groipers posing as lefties) who think it’s a hot take to say Biden isn’t the optimal person to be President are all suffering from Captain Obvious syndrome while thinking they’re the cleverest people ever. It’s cringe.

    Even though I’m a Libertarian in the strictest sense I find this both true and quite funny. DJT is just as bad or worse than Biden. DJT himself has stated that he went to St. James island [aka orgy island] TWICE. It’s just like in sinning against GOD…the first look isn’t sinning, but when you look the 2nd time then it’s a sin. DJT is similar to a DON in a mafia, but he is just the DON of the deep state. The only way to stop Trump is to declare the 2020 election in his favor, HOWEVER since he voluntarily left the oath of office for the Biden admin DJT cannot be legally elected a 3rd term. He would be disqualified.
