      Refusing to make the optimal play when lives are on the line isn’t brave, good, or noble. If you increase the danger of others to preserve your sense of pride, innocence, or purity then you commit a deep evil.

        I don’t want Biden to be president. So I’m not going to vote for him. It really is that simple. If the Democrats want my vote, they need to earn it by running a worthy candidate. My vote shouldn’t be taken for granted.

          Hey me too.

          So I’m not going to vote for him.

          Anti-fascism means doing everything we’re able to stop fascism Being against genocide means doing what we can to shift the probability of genocide increasing as low as possible. If you can’t put your petty feelings aside for long enough to push a few buttons, you shouldn’t call yourself either. It’s not about you.

              which one is the genocidal maniac

              If we need to pick exactly one, that’d be Trump, the only one of the two who actively attempted to prosecute a genocide.

              It never was; tankies started the platform, and tankies are anti-leftists.

        I never claimed to be brave, good or noble. Personally I think we’re all pigs in the mud at this point.

        But frankly it’s irrelevant. I’m not voting for Biden again. Find some other way to elect your geriatric procorporate genocide supporting trash candidate.
