    This is an asshole statement.

    I am a member of the queer community, and this is the kind of garbage that distances me even more from Biden.

    FWIW, I did vote for Biden, and it was the first time I had voted for a non-third party for president, but I won’t be voting for him again.

      What’s it called when people do this?

      Trying to shut down reasonable voices by attacking and then saying that type of comment is going to affect how they vote ?

      This feels fake as hell and I see it constantly now.

      Am I the only one who thinks statements like this are just attempts at keeping reasonable people from speaking up?

        It is fake as hell, or at least used to be. It used to just be Russian trolls but sadly, real Americans saw it enough that they began to think it was a common stance… so then Americans actually started adopting that stance.

          I prefer to think people aren’t this dumb and it’s all still trolls. That’s my hope at least.

      Smart. If you check historical presidential races, all of them had a third party very close to winning, so that’s a good thing to use your vote on. You’ll get 'em this year. And even if you don’t, the consequences are fine, not as if the only other option is an insurrectionist promising to be a dictator and do whatever the oil billionaires ask. Not as if Repubs have been appointing treasonous theocrats to SCOTUS or anything that would hurt vulnerable groups.

        Yup, I’ve always voted third party because they’ve always had a chance at winning. Because perfect is the enemy of good.

      So you’re a Trump supporter then? Come November, not voting for Bden is either directly or indirectly supporting Trump. No other way to spin it. Naive or a troll.

      So tired of these foolish posts infecting Lemmy.
