How Can This Country Possibly Be Electing Trump Again?
Soft PaywallThere are a lot of troubling views about the middle east lately and using that (coupled with foreign influence) to proclaim they won't vote for Biden since he isn't handling it the way they want him to handle it.
Like... y'all think Trump is going to be better? Dude literally made a "muslim ban". He has a good chance to take the win. Do I wish it was other choices? Sure. Do I wish we had ranked choice? Absolutely. But I'm not going to court fucking fascism because I think Old Man Biden isn't acting perfectly.
Edit: Here come the Trump bots and astroturfers
I got banned from uh... r/lostgeneration I think? For saying basically what you just said.
I got banned from r/latestagecapitalism for similar sentiments. I was promoting liberalism and using the "lesser of two evils" argument (also not being pro-China and pro-DPRK). I'm convinced that leftist spaces are being infiltrated and influenced by right wing propagandists looking to discourage people from voting.
Unfortunately for them, we're mostly old hat at noticing the increasing levels of shittness and just sliding into the next space over without missing a beat. Ask MySpace how that goes lol.
Like banning me from one corner of the internet will stop me from climbing on my soapbox on the next corner and picking up my lecture where I left off. Hah. Just means I'm repeating "letting the red hats do genocide here won't help anybody getting genocided on the opposite side of the planet" on every other corner I wander past.
