Polls show young people don't like either Trump or Biden and they're angry they're expected to pick one. Some young liberals may not vote at all.

    It’s a really childish view of what voting is supposed to be. No, Biden isn’t everything you want, but Trump is a DUMPSTER FIRE who will actively make your life WORSE.

    So your choice is:

    1. Vote for Biden
    2. Don’t vote, and elect Trump
    3. Vote 3rd party and elect Trump
    4. Vote for Trump

      “Hey, if that guy wins, he’s going to rob everyone then set fire to their grandmother. That means we can simply do nothing and it’s a shoe-in!”

      “Au contraire, mon frere. That means so long as we don’t set fire to people’s grandmothers, not only do we get to rob everyone, but they’ll thank us for doing it, and we will own them.”

      Yeah no. We’ll take the L just to see you get robbed too, and the smoke from your burning grandmothers will be as incense in our nostrils.

      If the motherfucker thinks people will give him a pass on genocide as tribute for saving the country from trump, he’s going to get a brutal fucking lesson in petty spite.

              “I didn’t kill anyone, I just gave the homicidal maniac a better gun. And then after he had already killed a lot of people, I went above and beyond to get him more ammo.”

              How do you feel about moral responsibility for people who fund terrorists? No harm, no foul as long as they’re not personally planting bombs?

    They should refuse to participate in a system that does not represent them or their needs. It’s not enough for Biden to say we are not trump when most of his policies are carried over from Trump or are variations of them. In 2020 they voted for Biden and got more of trump.

        Let me ask you, how do you feel about the Patriot act? What about the no default student loans? What about the increase of incarcerations from a heighten war on drugs?

        Why do you think voting for the guy who did all this just one more time is going to undo all of that when he spent his entire carrier catering to people even more right than the Democrats?

      Look buddy, you don’t get it. I understand that you don’t want chlamidya, but if you don’t want gonorrhea you’re going to have to make some though choices ok? And if not well it’ll be you’re fault were all getting chlamidya. Anyway, just one more vote bro, this is the most important election ever I swear! We’ll fix it this time, I swear!

      Man these right-wingers are annoying. I thought it would be better here on Lemmy than it used to be on Reddit, but I guess standard issue Americans are everywhere :/

        Lol I got upvote for this. I don’t think the Democrats understand that they are the right-wingers in my comment. Not the sharpest tools in the shed. Zero self awareness.

          Back in real life, your lame attempt at sarcasm or whatever is pretty apparent. The usual “OMG I’m so left wing that we should get Trump elected” bullshit.

            So apparent that before I pointed it out I was sitting at +10. Like I said not the sharpest tool in the shed. But also despicable.

            Literally no leftists wants Trump to get elected. We just think you’re doing it to yourselves. He is a natural consequence of your continued support for this system.

    I love how anything that’s remotely anti-Biden or anti-Democrat gets downvoted around here… god forbid the “politics” sub is neutral…and not one-sided like Reddit…

      I’m gonna go and check what are the top 3 posts for the past week in [email protected] and [email protected]

      Okay fuck. None of it is anti Biden. However, story number 4 is “Nancy Pelosi Among 40 House Democrats Demanding Biden Halt Weapon Transfers to Israel.” +486 upvotes, -15 downvotes

      Seems like if it’s criticism that makes sense, people are fine with it, and if it’s just an excuse to throw poop nuggets at him, people don’t like it. For example I’m not really aware of any significant contingent that thinks it’s anything other than horrifying that Biden is supporting Israel in its genocide.
