    I think the best analogy I’ve heard had compared voting to transportation. If you’re at the office and want to go home, there probably isn’t a train that goes directly to your front door. So you get on the train heading in the right direction, and maybe at the end of that line you still need to take a bus and walk a couple blocks, but that’s how you ultimately get where you want to go. Otherwise you’re going to be in the same spot waiting for a perfect train that’s not coming.

      This assumes any trains will get you closer to your destination.

            Yeah this is what I called out in my other comment. The pathetically stupid idea that anyone not simping for trump loves genocide

              I’m voting for Biden. I get that you want to cast any opposition to genocide as simping for your close second choice, but it ain’t so.

              Biden should stop supporting genocide, even if though that will lose him your vote.

                Lol dumb as fuck. Yeah I’m so sure you’re voting for Biden right after spending months campaigning against him every fucking day. Then when trump wins and destroys what’s left of democracy, you totally won’t be happy about it. Because of course the Palestinians will all be in concentration camps and it will be big bad Biden’s fault because he personally put them there along with somehow everyone who didn’t personally fellate trump every day on social media.

                  Yeah, I’m sure you oppose genocide even though all you do is spam abuse at people who express the slightest misgivings about supporting it.
