Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    I will never vote for Joe Biden again. That decision was made many years ago and has nothing to do with his vile actions over the past few years.

    If you feel like maybe you don’t wanna vote for Biden either, because he’s a genocidare or because he gave up on getting roe back or because he literally just came out and said the campus protests are wrong and he won’t change his mind, join me and cast a ballot for PSL at the presidential level instead.

    Send a clear message that when the democrats run genocide Joe they won’t get your vote.

    And more importantly, go get chummy with your neighbors. Make sure you have a few weeks worth of food in the pantry, get your finances straightened out, stay hydrated and keep some water in rotation.

    No one knows what we’re facing in the future, but you can be a stabilizing force for yourself and those around you no matter what it is.

        At this point, I honestly doubt Biden will do anything to stop this from happening anyways. I have 0 confidence he will do what needs to be done to protect trans people.

        If you cared about that you’d be pressuring the democrats to run someone else.

        If you believed it was a real threat you wouldn’t be trying to shame and browbeat people into casting a ballot for the democrats vile running dog and preparing to endure a time of upheaval instead.

          Who says I’m not?

          If you believed it was a real threat you wouldn’t be trying to shame and browbeat people into casting a ballot for the democrats vile running dog and preparing to endure a time of upheaval instead.

          And if you were a decent person you’d hold your nose and vote against the obvious worse choice.

          But you both-sidesers just want to pat yourselves on the back.

            I already said I won’t vote for Joe Biden. Nothing you say will ever convince me and the only effect your replies can have is on third party readers of them.

            It doesn’t make me a bad person that there’s a bridge too far for lending my paltry, unimportant political support. Biden crossed that bridge before I even voted for him the first and only time in 2008.

            I will be voting against trump though, since my PSL ballot isn’t gonna be counted for him.

            If you think me and people like me (a group that is growing by the minute as Biden continues to carry water for Zionist fascism) are necessary for a democrat victory and you see that as of the highest importance, join us and add to the pressure the democrats are under to pick a different candidate.

              And again, from his privileged high horse, does he push the agenda of not voting for Biden and enabling a Trump victory.

              Fuck women’s rights, this is about moral superiority, dear reader!

                Running Biden enables a trump victory.

                I’m not the one doing that, the democrats are.

                Having a standard that is above genocide isnt an indicator of moral superiority.

                  Running Biden enables a trump victory.

                  Votes enable or disable a victory. Everything else is abstraction.

                Fuck women’s rights

                Roe v Wade got obliterated in 2022, btw. Instead of codifying it when he entered office, he stood by and let it get scrapped. This does not sound like someone who respects women’s bodily autonomy.

                  Gee I wonder who stacked the courts with the specific goal of doing just that…

                  Nah, let’s blame the guy who didn’t bypass the supposed checks and balances that we would scream at the right for abusing instead.

                    damn, sounds like Dems are powerless to stop the ever-advancing march of American fascism, and we should be organizing alternate power structures to protect the most vulnerable around us, rather than hoping they’ll decide to do something useful this time around!
