    Not voting for Biden and there is quite literally nothing anyone can say to persuade me to vote for him.

        To expand on my point even further, in any future presidential election I will never vote for any president regardless of what anyone says.

        If anyone can figure out why, I'll make them an theoretical honorary mod of one of the channels I'm on.

          I'll throw out an unexpected guess— are you in a state where the electoral college means your vote doesn't matter?

            Bing bong! Correct! And that state is Alaska, where the presidential election is already over while we're just over 1/3 of the way through our day of voting.

            Which is why it is in the most literal sense of the word a complete waste of time voting for a president to me.

          It almost did. Jan 6th was a coup attempt.
          On the campaign trail a day or two ago he literally said, "...we've been waging an all-out war on American democracy."

          But go on and insist it is "both sides" to up your edgelord cred. You're never going to find any politician that agrees with you on every issue. Unless you get off your ass and run, which we know is too much effort for you.

            a half assed and unserious coup attempt. Trump wasn't even directly involved it was less than a riot

            The issue I disagree with Biden on is whether there should be a genocide

              He's being charged with it because he CAN be linked directly to it. Half ass or not, it was a coup attempt. Saying it was half assed or not serious is exactly what people said about the Beer Hall Putsch. Look what happened after.

              And you can't blame Biden for what Hamas did.

                    Hamas did not do this. Israel did this. None of this would be happening if they hadn't been carrying out a genocidal project of colonialism and apartheid the last 75 years.

                    2 comments from telling us all we have to vote for your candidate to literally telling us to go fuck ourselves.

                    Democrats are so fucking good at campaigning.

                        Lmao I can take it just fine I'm not over here crying because you told me to go fuck myself I'm laughing because apparently that's your strategy to get people to vote for a candidate they don't like.

                        "I know you don't like him and he's explicitly said he won't do anything you want but have you co sidereal go fuck yourself"

                        Wow you've really convinced me

                        Seems like we're back where we started where we both think the other can fuck off and I'm deffinitly still not voting for somebody doing genocide

                It was a coup attempt in the same way me screaming in my backyard is an attempt to become a super saiyan. Nothing happened. A bunch of meemaws and idiot conspiracy theorists milled about the house and Senate. They didn't even have the gumption to take a shit on the podium.

                They had their true enemies within spitting distance and none of them threw a bomb or fired a shot. They took selfies. Absolute morons.

                Nobody's blaming Biden for what hamas did they're blaming him for the genocide Isreal been doing in response.

                By the way he just approved sending a bunch of bunker busters so Isreal can bomb even more hospitals indiscriminately.

            Browbeating people into voting for a satanic right wing warmonger was a losing strategy in 2016 and it's a losing strategy now. There is a massive chance now that Biden will lose as a direct result of his actions in Gaza. This is directly Biden's fault and no amount of fearmomgering about January 6th will change it, for the record most people don't really even care.

            If you're concerned about losing "our democracy", blame the DNC. That they're content with running a senile maniac who is actively facilitating a genocide should enrage you more than people online expressing their disgust with his criminal behavior.

              Yea if democrats are so fucking concerned about democracy maybe they should, I don't know, support one of the policies 80% of their base is loudly telling them matters to them.

              Like not having Biden be the nominee.

            It almost did. Jan 6th was a coup attempt.

            There was no mechanism for it actually succeeding. It was an attempt the same way a child attempts to transform into a bird.

            Jan 6th was a coup attempt.

            And 2000 was a coup success. What's your point? Something about protecting a democracy?

              Hey they had to shoot a gun exactly one time to get every single person to go home as soon as the concept of consequences metastasized in their brains.

        You'll never vote again.

        I've never voted for any president you baby-brained jackass. You might as well worship the ground I step on because me not voting apparently helped Biden and Obama win, by your twisted logic

        None of the people Biden killed through war profiteering, supporting genocide, and policy failure will vote again either.

        Glad to hear your proud to support all that death though. Good on you for owning up to supporting the atrocities

        Well in 1/3 of US provisional elections in the 21st century, the candidate with the most votes has lost the election thanks to the electoral college. So even if they did go vote, there is a 1 in 3 chance that the candidate with the most votes loses the election.

        Which is really weird because the US brands itself as the bastion of freedom and democracy internationally, yet they do not follow two of the most important principles of democracy itself. Those being one man equals one vote, and the candidate with the most votes wins. Lots of people in the USA effectively do not have a vote for president with how the electoral college is structured.

        Thats literally what you useless dumb fucks said right before Hillary managed to lose the easiest election of a lifetime using the exact same strategy you're using this time.

        Maybe Biden will exceed expectations and actually go to states he depends on to win.
