Comment on Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden

  Its fun to make this vote only about a single issue. It’s more fun to vote for the guy everyone knows will do worse right away on that specific issue.

  That’ll make a point.

  Bonus? It’ll mess up pretty much everything else to varying degrees including the right to vote, so that’s a cost that’ll linger.

  Good job.

    Hey maybe if you don’t want Trump in office you should go protests bidens terrible policy. Or you can just shame people who can’t morally vote for Biden

    What’s your reply to those who are already going to vote Biden (not me, ain’t from the US)? Do you have any coherent reply other than “Trump is going to be worse”? At what point do people like you stop talking over Biden critics and actually address his misplaced support for Israel?

      We already attempted this accelerationist approach in 2016 with Clinton and received Trump and things are much worse due to the 4 years of his first term. Trans rights, reproductive rights, minority rights, and so much more have been eroded in that time. Trump was also able to stack SCOTUS with conservative judges that will have lasting ramifications and two more justices are nearing retirement age in the next presidential cycle. If Trump is elected again, the court will become even more conservative with lasting ramifications that will nearly impossible to undo.

      Trump has outright stated he wants Isreal to finish the job and Netanyahu supports him. Biden is not perfect, but literally abstaining from voting for him will make the situation immensely worse for both Gaza and here in the US. To ignore that reality shows ignorance in voting as a single issue voter and shows you have nothing to loose from your privilege. I don’t have that grace as a woman in a red state now relagated as reproductive cattle nor do my Trans or Minority friends who just want to live as they are. Voting for Biden avoids the 2025 Handmaid’s Tale that the Christian Right desperately wants and still gives us the ability to complain his actions are not enough for Gaza. With Trump that ability absolutely dissolves.
