Exercising my right to vote is the same as exercising my right NOT to vote. The doom of a Trump presidency will not scare me to participate in this election. Democrats deserve to lose. They’ve played us. Earn my vote. Don’t scare me with a Trump presidency to vote. If our institutions our fragile that one person can dismantle our system then we have bigger issues to worry about.
They are, in fact, that fragile. Our democracy is no more strong than Germany’s was in the 1930s, or Italy’s was when Mussolini took over.
We are tettering on the knife’s edge of falling to an autocracy.
I despise our govt’s full-on support of Netanyahu’s assault on the civilians of Gaza & the West Bank, the war crimes the IDF has most certainly committed, but I think it is unfair to place all of the blame on Biden. It is, in fact, the majority of our elected officials who are pro Israel, for many different reasons.
The campaign money from AIPAC, the fact that many of them are Jewish or married to a Jew, Evangelicals who believe that the
“Rapture” cannot occur until Israel is in complete control of the entire Holy Land, & that the formation of the State of Israel was a project of the USA & the UK in 1948.
Just about 54 Dems have spoken up & denounced us sending more bombs & other weapons to Israel.
Witness the major outcry against Biden, for merely pausing the latest weapons shipment to Israel over the Rafa attack. He is attacked by one side or the other no matter what decision he makes. My preference is more in line with Bernie Sanders’,
no more weapons at all & not another nickel in monetary support until there is a full & permanent cease fire AND a huge surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including restoration of fuel, water, & electricity.
IMO it would seem that everyone should be able to see that Israel is up to no good & trying to hide what they are doing, as evidenced by them preventing outside journalists from reporting from inside Gaza, that the IDF have intentionally murdered over 100 journalists inside Gaza, & now their latest assault on truth by shutting down Al Jazeera.
I just think everyone should put more pressure on your own elected officials to come out against sending weapons & for them to push Biden to call for a cease fire, if they aren’t already among those who have.
Not voting is a vote for Trump, simple as that. Please show up and exercise your right to express your true heart and feelings at the polling place, but just know that going in.
I’m sorry but I can’t in good faith accept not voting is a vote for Trump. I’ve always wrestled with the notion of voting for the lesser of two evils but that’s the old me. The new me will not vote for Biden out of fear for Trump.
In 2020, the democrats high jacked the primary and took the nomination away from Sanders after the establishment threw their weight behind Biden in South Carolina. They had four years to prepare for an election and the best they could do is Joe Biden? From 2016 to 2020 the democrat’s best option to run against Trump was Joe Biden? The voters wanted Sanders but the establishment said no. I voted for Biden then because of fear of a second Trump term. What did we get? A genocidal senior citizen.
With all due respect, I will exercise my right to NOT vote. Not voting is neither a vote for Biden or Trump. It’s a vote against the entire two party system that serves nobody’s interest but a select few.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that Sanders was ousted by some "establishment cabal". As I understand it, he lost out because younger voters didn't show up in expected numbers on Super Tuesday. Isn't that what it boiled down to? --I was a Sanders guy all the way, btw, and I'm still a Sanders fan.
Anyway, here's the thing. If you don't vote, you don't block a Trump vote. Net result: a Trump vote. Even if you decide to not vote, it's a vote. You can't get away from it.
There has never been a perfect president elected in America. And, no matter who is elected, he or she is evil for somebody.
Biden believes in the Rule of Law, the Constitution, the Fourth Estate (a free press), and the responsibility a great nation like ours has to the young, the poor, the sick, and the elderly. Not to mention the Separation of church and state.

Apologies for multiple edits.

Trump, and MAGA, believe in NONE of those things.
That's the choice, plain and simple.
