I fucking hate Biden/kamala. I get the argument some have made that Biden is more manageable to work with and push or try to atleast, push leftist policies. But honestly I don’t see how he’s ever going to defund the police, or implement M4A.

I really don’t know what to do. I’d rather vote Green Party. I can’t wrap my doomer head around this shit

    I’ve been having the same dilemma myself. I live in PA so I’m considered part of a swing state so unlike if I lived in New York my vote ‘matters.’ After Bernie dropped out I decided to not vote in the primaries because I saw no point in partaking in a sham. Now I just feel guilty for not wanting to vote in the general.

    I’m watching trump erode trans rights and it scares me. My mother has to go back to school because trump and his goons have pushed for schools to reopen so I’m scared I’m going to lose my mother now.

    But even despite all the feelings I get from trump I find Biden equally repulsive. He won’t be as open about how much he hates me and the people I love but he will enact the same types of policies but nobody will give a damn because he’s not orange or whatever.

    In the end I just have to remind myself it doesn’t really matter, if they wanted my vote they’d have actually tried but I’m marginalized enough that I’m not even a thought to them. So why should I help them?

      agreed. the D ticket won't stop or even slow the spread of fascism through the bureaucracy - they've already promised to prosecute "anarchists" and the VP slot has a transphobic cop - so the issues that directly, materially impact my life aren't affected by which color we paint the white house. do whatever you can live with.
