the point isnt to get trump to win, it's to pressure biden into stop supporting genocide if he wants to win - like, at least for me in the UK despite gritting my teeth and voting for that prick Starmer last time as harm reduction im not going to vote for him again unless he changes his policy suggestion to reflect the reality that only 9% of the labour voting base support his zionism. If he actually ran on a platform of suggesting a ceasefire and calling for a return to the 1967 voting borders i would happily continue voting for him every year until he left because he would have done one very good thing, as it is though, im withdrawing my vote until he's actually forced to do something.

No, the point is to threaten to reject electoralism and show the rest of the US population how farcical it is, and to show that there is a large number of people not buying into this syatem or its propaganda. If you don't vote for president this election and then vote again in the next one, they were right and you're really a pathetic cowed-and-beaten loyal subject.

What? The last election was under Corbyn.

there were local elections in between then and now, during which starmer was in charge

Does that really count as voting for Starmer though? I get how voting for your MP counts as voting for the party leader, but your local councilors or whatever don't decide the PM.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
