1 year agowas a Bernie supporter during the 2020 primaries, it was the first year I could vote. At the time I considered myself a centrist, took few hard stances, but thought the Nordic Model was ideal. Police violence coverage had me questioning my worldview. Came across many leftist tiktoks but saw Michael Parenti saying 3rd world countries aren't underdeveloped, they're over-exploited and it clicked for me.
I'm a 2nd gen American and have great sympathy for folks in my parents' home countries. I realized Nordic Model wasnt the bastion of progress people claim it is, we have to go past that.
If I dont vote Biden, it's a vote for Trump. If I dont vote Trump it's a vote for Biden. cancels out.
Voting 3rd party is like voting for 3 people it seems, I'll take advantage of that
