      If the alternative is so terrible, and the Supreme Court just ruled the President has total legal immunity in office, why hasn't Biden done the obvious thing to protect the country against this horrific threat? soviet-hmm

        Umm, wow, okay, you want us to become a TOTALITARIAN REGIME like China? Maybe take a second and think, tankie. America only uses violence to interfere in the democratic procedures of independent non-Western countries ANTI FREEDOM AUTHORITARIAN ROGUE STATES.

        If you think that America overthrowing the elected Sukarno by infiltrating the Indonesian military and guiding the slaughter of ~one million innocent people in Indonesia and propping up a dictator who would go on to commit a genocide in East Timor simply because Indonesia was developing independently and the government worked with the PKI, or the US working with Pinochet (whose government would go on to massacre left-wing dissidents and workers) to perpetrate the brutal coup in Chile because the elected Allende promised to pursue socialist policy in Chile and had worked on land reform/nationalization, or the US backing a coup in Guatemala (because the government had begun to block imperialist exploitation of their resources and labor) to depose the democratically elected Árbenz and inserting a military dictatorship that perpetrated a genocide against indigenous Guatemalans, if you think this is half as bad as the American government killing a single person who is not currently in power to prevent a fascist Nazi government from being formed, then say hello to Putin for me, because you're nothing but a Russian bot who will clock out of your shift at some silly Moscow time. WE BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY!

      Oh, I know who it is; I just don't give a rat's ass anymore. It doesn't matter which old white man gets in, the genocide of sovereign Palestinians will continue, the concentration camps on the southern border will remain open, the wall will continue being built, Abbott won't be stopped from putting saw blades in the rivers, the prison slavery complex won't be abolished(and honestly, all of you deserve to be shot on that point alone because you all benefit from the fruits of prison slavery, and you all tacitly support it by voting in democrats who own stock in for-profit prisons), the 1033 program won't be ended, the Cop Cities won't be cancelled, none of it fuckin matters.

      Death to the settler empire. All I ask for is the opportunity to laugh in a couple anglo settler faces before the lynch mob gets me, too. I genuinely hate you bloodthirsty ghoul motherfuckers.

      That doesn’t make any sense. If Hitler is the opposition, and your guy is the only person running against Hitler, my question would remain the same. Because if you’re not going to do anything, then you’re basically just making me sit around for 4 years until Hitler comes back into power.

      I would rather let Trump personally shoot me in the head than vote for someone I've just watched be an active accomplice in committing genocide.

      It's actually a complicated question for people (like me!) who hate America. Biden might be the accelerationist candidate at this point!

      I don't get it; Jill Stein is kind of a dork but I don't see how she's worse than Biden.

      How is this still something being asked??

      It's being asked because the current incumbent is a party to genocide and the "other option" currently isn't
