You know it would piss him off. This is what's going to happen. Then it will leak and we will learn Trump's crew calls it "the Watergate move". Then we will learn Trump doesn't know what Watergate is or what was done to get him in because he doesn't have the attention span. Then nobody holds him accountable or does anything about it.

I really don’t like Biden. He’s a pandering racist rapist. I’m struggling though - which outcome would I think is worse? Biden or Trump? I think Trump. Trump is also a lot of bad things. I know the “lesser of two evils” is a tired argument. And I know my vote doesn’t really matter either way. That’s the biggest argument I feel for abstaining - that it just doesn’t matter. Also that Biden winning could lead to an even worse Repub getting elected in 4 years. Help me out here.

He’s a pandering racist rapist. the lesser evil just gives permission for evil to continue to dominate our politics. there is no compelling reason to believe that joe biden is up to the task of handling the present economic crisis or any standing issue. in fact he has promised to do nothing. don’t waste your vote on a waste of time candidate who will inevitably preside over historic midterm losses. also you just toxxed not to vote for him.

imo the best way to view an individual vote is as a positive statement of support for something, since there is no way that an individual vote will ever make any kind of difference in this mindset, you don't have to choose! if you can't honestly say that you support some candiate, you can just cast a blank vote or not go at all

Ruggan posted:I really don’t like Biden. He’s a pandering racist rapist. Which is worse, the Earth smashing into the moon or the sun? Clearly the sun is worse. Therefore, everyone worried about the moon is personally to blame for us hitting the sun, even though the moon hitting us might knock our orbit into the sun within four years anyway. More seriously, if you want to get emotionally invested in politics, don't focus on the Presidential race. That ship has sailed. Direct action and protesting are more worthy of your attention, and there may (or may not!) be a local or state race or measure on your ballot worth fighting for. If all the liberals with Cable News Brain put half as much effort into electing a progressive challenger as they put into tepid excuses for a hair-sniffing perennial loser, their mental health and the world's future would be much better.

Ruggan posted:I really don’t like Biden. He’s a pandering racist rapist. Enough people telling the Democrats to go gently caress themselves for offering only lesser evils will eventually cause a trend of decline that they'll either address or get replaced by one of the third parties. Cold comfort for us but it sets up the zoomers or their children for a new party, and then the grandchildren of that generation to the same bullshit we have. Voting reform or replacing the United States with something better are the only answers that work in our lifetimes.

whether 51% of republicans or 51% of democrats get the vote indicates nothing on its own, at any given time at least 49% of the country is willing to vote for the "greater" evil so that last 2% seems kind of meaningless. The fact that these are the two top choices available to us is indicative itself of the evil within the system, regardless of a 2% swing in either direction. forgive me if my reasoning is weird but boy i'm not happy today Colin Powell loving lol

Are there 17 states with both Dem Senators? If they rushed out of the room, a Dem Senator from a split state might be able to demand a quorum check (if they had a backbone). Of course the republicans would then affirm that 66% is greater than or equal to 2/3rds and vote anyway.

Collapse is certain. Both political parties are some combination of incapable and unwilling to do what is necessary to prevent the US from becoming a failed state. The most powerful people feel shielded from the consequences, and so do their puppets and proxies who populate and run the major political parties. If there is hope for change, it is that these facts will become so obvious, and the material conditions will get so unbearable, that we will see the present mass unrest grow and coalesce into an independent political structure that will maneuver through the collapse to supplant the existing American state. Seems unlikely honestly, but far more unlikely is any hope for salvation within the system. Certainly not from the likes of Biden.

The most powerful people feel shielded from the consequences, and so do their puppets and proxies who populate and run the major political parties. The future's very unwritten, but I'm of the opinion that if/when collapse comes, whoever ends up with power in the end are the ones actually helping people, whoever that is. It just so happens that chuds don't believe in helping other people, ever. They've sort of backed themselves into a corner with this. I think that's why you see so many obsessed with guns; they know any kind of functioning community would rightfully see them as a liability, so their backup plan to just hunker down and shoot at anyone that comes close. Could they come back from this? Maybe. I'm sure churches will probably pick up the slack where the government fails, but even then, those will be Christians who actually take the Love Thy Neighbor teachings to heart, not chuds.

Chuds have a fantasy about being Max Rockatansky when all forms of government magically blinks out of existence at once. In reality, barring some sort of decapitating strike from a foreign power, or civil war (lol), it would take years, with state and local governments stepping in to fill the void. We'd still have electricity, running water, Walmart and McDonald's, so life wouldn't change a lot either. We saw some rumblings of what may happen if somehow the federal government just ceases to exist with this pandemic. States were forced to take control, with some forming coalitions, and then the Apples, Amazons, Facebooks, and Teslas of the world stepped in and told everyone it was over and to get back to work.

Liberals will get increasingly desperate as they realize they went all in on demented alleged rapist Joe Biden, a man who promises to fix none of our problems They won't have any introspection or self-reflection, of course, they'll just scream into the void that the people they've actively told to gently caress off aren't as deluded about their candidate as they are

Business Gorillas posted:Liberals will get increasingly desperate as they realize they went all in on demented alleged rapist Joe Biden, a man who promises to fix none of our problems Yeah, that's the real kicker. I wanted the Dems to earn my vote this year, because Trump is super lovely to have in the White House (and another Trump term could, legit, no-joke, kill me, if he manages to gently caress with the pre-existing conditions ban or lifetime limits cap ban in the ACA). But, I can honestly say that I'm not sure whether it's worse to re-elect him, or to elect Biden, and I can't in good conscience vote for somebody who's just going to sweep things under the rug for 4-8 years while they continue to fester. So, I'm voting Hawkins this year, because his platform is actually something I want to see enacted.
