    Voting is not some grand statement that defines who you are or what you believe

    No one here thinks it is

    it is a lever of power to make the US better or worse

    No its not. The US is going to get worse regadless of who is president. US elections are a hollow ritual that gives the illusion of choice to the mass of people. Engaging with that ritual is an empty action that allows the unaware to believe they live in a democracy when they don’t.

    Voting for biden isn’t saying he’s the second coming, it pushing us the right direction (which is to the left) even if in a small way.

    Biden is not a step to the left in any imaginable scenario. The US gov only moves to the right. The parties function as a rachet effect.

    We don’t need vote evangelists here. We do not support or accept bourgeois liberal democracy. Don’t worry, there aren’t enough of us to sway your hollow election so there is literally no reason to say they same dumb arguements you libs always say as if we’ve never heard them

      The parties function as a ratchet effect.

      Remembering when, instead of thinking of shifting their positions left, Hillary Clinton and the DNC purposefully supported more right-wing candidates in the GOP, including Trump, so they could be the “lesser evil.”
