Elections have been decided, and will be decided for the foreseeable future, by people we've never met before and will never meet.

People like Contra/Vaush/etc. really just seem like they have Bernie Syndrome and desperately don't want libs to blame them if Biden loses, despite the fact that they'll do that literally no matter what because libs are largely incapable of self-reflection.

    This is spot on, I believe in voting third party and I'll advocate for it if asked but I'm not going to get worked up over something that's so ultimately inconsequential.

    Hell, even if leftists did decide the election, it wouldn't matter in the long run when these are our choices

    They have the brain rot of voting "harm" reduction like alot of americans, they will never have change they desire because they are to much of cowards to take a chance with a non democrat

    Well.. the Youtube celebrities kinda find themselves pulled in several directions right?

    Do something radical, get canceled, lose income?

    Or just go along with the easiest thing that keeps the hordes from turning their ire towards you?

    Vote for the workers. Neither Biden nor Trump are for the workers.

    After they ratfucked the primary and made it clear they don't want leftists in the coalition, the only upside was that this election was going to become pure spectacle and entertainment for most people. If Biden won, I couldn't wait to watch the MAGA chuds seethe. If Trump won, it was going to be fun to watch the libs meltdown again. And on top of all that, we were going to see 3 beautiful debates of the American gerontocracy sundown on live TV.

    All the while we can still do the important work of the mass line, feeding the homeless, fixing our neighbors shit, growing our orgs, unionizing our workplaces, doing agitprop, showing up strapped to protect black lives from would-be fascists, etc, all of which will reduce more harm than a vote for Biden.

    It doesn't even matter who you vote for. Biden isn't going to fundamentally change anything and he isn't going to be that much worse than Trump if at all.

      he isn’t going to be that much worse than Trump if at all.

      His foreign policy is probably going to be massively worse.
