I’m a said this before… You can hate both.
Sure, you can hate both, but unless you want Trump policies here, you have to vote Biden.
More to the point, in a FPTP + EC, a failure to vote for the candidate you hate least in certain states gives the candidate you hate more a better chance of winning the presidency.
While the propagandists would have us believe otherwise, this is not "supporting 'genocide'." It's just math.
Do you live in Illinois? Idaho? Vote for whoever you want. Illinois is going to send its electors for Biden, and Idaho is going to send its electors for Trump, and your vote is not going to change that. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona? Check yourself before you wreck fucking everything.
And even if you live in Idaho, stop telling people on the internet to abstain!!!
Yup! But not knowing the state someone is posting from, way easier to go "Vote Biden!"
They're probably posting from Russia.
Local and state elections also matter. Watching Trump deal with a Dem Congress might even be amusing. But yeah, vote Biden because Trump already fucked up the Supreme Court enough.
Not a chance. If Trump wins, it’ll be by Democratic abstentions. With 33 Senate seats on the ballot, if he wins, Republicans will have control of Congress too.
Trump will rule by executive order and the supreme court will ok it in that scenario.
I wouldn't bet on sure states anymore. We saw in 2016 how inaccurate polls were because Trump supporters just lie and hide.
It's amazing how I live in a very red county and yet all over these dating sites all I see are "moderate" or "centrist" or "other" I almost NEVER see someone openly admit they're a "conservative."
Illinois hasn't voted R since 1988.
