Because Biden's shitty fucking policies got half my family locked up for trying to keep their seed fed on bids anywhere from five to thirty, typically on some mandatory-minimum bullshit; the other half can't get jobs under his "booming economy"; and the fact that he's cosigning a fucking genocide of one of the few peoples in the world to be as brutally colonized as the Black diaspora in Occupied America. You're smoking meth if you think I'm going act like what you're doing is worth uplifting or even cosigning.
You already are supporting a fascist if you haven't divested by now-- but I don't expect you to get that.
First off, I appreciate the response this is what I was hoping for instead of just downvotes.
No I distinctly don't think what I'm doing is worth uplifting I think it is a bad situation and I'm doing what I hope makes it worse more slowly than my other options. Biden is a piece of shit I know that, and I'm being affected by the "booming economy" too it's a bunch of lies. My company is about to fire a huge chunk of people I might be in there, and even if I'm not I'll have to watch as my friends lose their jobs.
"keep their seed fed on bids anywhere from five to thirty, typically on some mandatory-minimum bullshit" I don't know what this means could you explain?
What are you doing this election? What can we do to get out of this situation? Why do you believe in your choice at the ballot? I'd rather not vote for Biden but I also believe until things are changed from local up, voting third party is the same as not voting in the sense that it puts the decision in other people's hands, and I'm super not voting for Trump.
