Slightly OT, but this is also why we absolutely need ranked voting ASAP. How much better would a candidate like Sanders do if people knew that voting for him as first choice and Biden as second was possible?

Situation sucks. But, with Cheeto chimp it'll suck 1000X more.

Don't be complacent. Don't be apathetic.

This is posted in political humor, but unfortunately, it's not a joke.

As a Canadian looking from the outside in, it really does seem to be trending in that direction… any further Republican wins will mean the end of democracy, with America sliding into a ChristoFascist Autocracy.

I fear for my American neighbours, but we have similar problems up here; we just happen to be a decade or so behind you folk.

This was the same promise in 2020. And yet here we are. Democrats should have done better than beg to save democracy one more time.

Weird, I was sold almost the exact same line in 2020.

I look at this fom a far and i wonder: Why do the democrats not just get a younger more capable person to vote for?

Joe Biden has the authority to resign. Joe Biden can choose to not run in 2024. If he cared about preserving democracy, he would let someone more electible take his place.

If things go wrong, it's the fault of the people in power.

As we all know, politics only happens when you vote for president every 4 years.

This is the same tired line we have to hear every 4 years. It's been a substitute for concrete policy and it's gotten all of us nowhere.

We literally do not live in a democracy according to a bunch of empirical studies, and also according to basic material analysis.

The opinion of the masses is never reflected in our government.

Does your politics begin and end at participating in sham elections? Why aren't you encouraging people to take meaningful political action?

Imagine being Russian and the extent of your political activism is encouraging people to vote Putin out.

That's how ridiculous you are.

It's sad how the US spends trillions on defense, when all it takes to seize control over the nation is some bottom tier Dollar Store propaganda that any third world nation could afford.

Fuck em both I’m voting for Brandon.

Maybe the democrats should pull their heads up from their asses and realize that "vote for us or else" doesn't have the rallying power they think it does, especially when they're repeating it every election cycle.

Just some thoughts from someone outside the US.

Most lib shit ever. "Every election is the most important one". When are people going to realize you are always voting for rich fuckers who don't care about you

More like "It doesn't matter how you vote, the evil party is going to win because the slightly-less-evil party just lost a large chunk of their voter base because funding a ethnic genocide in the middle east was a hill they were dying on"

Do your part by voting for the slightly less shit party, but don't be surprised when it happens anyway, they're counting on it. They want it. Whenever they need to do something evil they can just throw the election so the republicans can take the hit for them, just like every time.
