the 2024 election is not ~between a fascist and a democrat~. Biden emphatically and directly supports the occupation and genocide of Palestine. the State of Israel is a fascist state. this makes Biden a fascist, too. if you are willing to vote for a fascist because he's "the better one," you aren't a realist or acting on the moral high ground. you are selfish and spineless.
(disclaimer that yes i know there are other candidates, and yes i know the democrats and electoral system are a fucking sham)
On what day this year would it be funniest for 91-criminal-charges insurrectionist former-President Donald J. Trump to die of a stroke or a heart attack or COVID.
It is also extremely difficult to read. I don't know if I need to point this out, but the document itself is obviously full of bigotry so please take care of yourself if you choose to read it. Antisemitic phrases like "cultural marxism" and "global elites" appear before the document even really gets rolling, and are mixed in with transphobia, racism, and more.
If you want a taste of how this document starts in the first main section about "The Family", here is a taste:
"This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists."
It is all bad. ALL of this document is bad, and dangerous, and threatens the lives and the safety of everyone living in this country.
The 2024 US Presidential Election is poised to be one of the most consequential in recent history, with the future trajectory of the nation at stake. As the world watches with bated breath, the question on everyone's mind is: Who will emerge victorious?
Factors Influencing the Outcome
Several factors will play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the election. The political landscape, economic conditions, social issues, and public opinion will all shape the course of the campaign and ultimately, the result.
Democratic Candidate Analysis
The Democratic Party is fielding a diverse array of candidates, each vying for the opportunity to lead the nation. From seasoned politicians to fresh faces, the Democratic field is teeming with potential contenders, each offering their unique vision for the future.
We are not going to let that fuckwad DeSantis gain a foothold in the 2024 election.
You are going to fucking vote for Joe Biden, and you are going to give us a fucking chance to save our country from fascism, and you aren't going to fucking complain about it, because there is literally no other choice.
We will not let another election be a close call. Are you listening?
Vote for Biden. Vote for whatever Democrat is most popular in your local elections. Our system sucks, but this is what we're working with. Just fucking vote.
Just as you should be wary of people telling you not to vote, you should be wary of people telling you to vote third party
Look, the fact of the matter is third parties don't get very far in the us, and voting third party more often than not hurts one party and helps the other
And the party it usually helps is the republicans (this is literally what happened in 2016)
We cannot afford that right now, not when trump is the candidate (or any of the other republican candidatess, they're all terrible), not when republicans are aiming to end democracy, genocide queers, and permanently legally establish women and non whites as lower classes
So...I don't know if anyone here lives in a state where they have open primaries, but here's an idea I'm throwing out there, which somebody may already have put out: why not go to the Republican primaries en masse and vote for somebody other than Trump? If we can get enough people to vote for a specific non-Trump candidate, we might just be able to prevent him from becoming the Republican nominee. I don't have any data yet on which states are going to have open primaries for the Republican Party in 2024, but I'll update you.
In the meantime, if I were to pick somebody other than Trump for the nomination, I'd pick Nikki Haley. Not only is she a woman of color, but some of her opinions don't seem all that extreme.
Fundamentally, if the democrats lose the presidency in 2024, it will not be because of "voter apathy" or "the idealistic left" or Cornell West or whatever third party candidate the liberals end up blaming. It will be because the democrats have failed to meet the lowest standards of many Americans.
You can talk about strategic voting until you're blue in the face, but fundamentally, people need reasons to vote for a candidate. There are people in this country watching as their family members get slaughtered by American arms, sent to Israel by Joe Biden. The people watching their families get murdered in Palestine have no reason to support Joe Biden. How can you ask them to?
"Sorry your family got bombed, but I need you to vote for the man who is directly responsible, or *real* people are going to suffer too."
It was at this point While I was drafting this post that I heard he just started bombing Yemen. It's like he's doing everything in his power to sink his own fucking campaign, are you shitting me? This isn't a matter of "stupid commies not being realistic enough", he's not just working for the status quo; just about every action he has taken since October 7th has been an escalation of conflict in the Middle East and made it worse for everyone living there. This is exactly what I'm talking about.
You can scold people for voting wrong as much as you want, but fundamentally the way that democrats can win elections is by pursuing good policy. If the only argument you can come up with in favor of Joe Biden is that he won't do 1 or 2 of the terrible things that Trump wants to do, then that will simply not appeal to the people who are most intensely affected by Biden's failures (not to mention people who have moral objections to genocide, even when it doesn't affect them). You can scream and cry all you want, people are not going to just overlook his role in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza just because he is the Less Bad Genocider.
If a republican wins the presidency in November, you can blame the hundreds of thousands of voters/nonvoters who should've agreed with you and put aside every moral concern they ever had about the Biden administration... or you can blame the one fucking guy whose massive foreign policy failures are going to tank his re-election campaign.
