“By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.””
There really are not words strong enough to describe the absolute lack of any logical foundation, or consideration for any person or any issue inherent in the idea of not voting because you “hate Joe Biden” or because you’ve suddenly become a one issue voter and haven’t bothered to develop a real understanding of the one issue that is allegedly animating you. 
This is a binary choice, one of these two candidates is going to win, one of them isn’t perfection, the other is a completely corrupt asshole who wants me to die, and since this is the queer trans disabled monsterfucker website, if you are reading this, he almost certainly wants you to die too.
Act like it.
Anyone voting for Biden is just as terrible as anyone voting for Trump. There is no excuse for voting for Biden when there are candidates like Jill Stein on the ballot.
A candidate who’s racist, misogynistic, a creep and a war criminal isn’t going to be good for other minorities or vulnerable groups either.
It is defeatist mentality to think that either a dem or a republican is going to end up in office if you never try to elect someone else into power or try for a revolution.
Americans are too quick to throw millions of brown people under the bus just because the bombs aren’t hitting their homes. But as I’ve said a candidate who supports violence outside of home won’t be securing your rights either. And either way it should be unacceptable even if he was a good president to the American population but had terrible foreign policy.
For fuck’s sake.
May of the general election year is way too fucking late–orders of magnitude too late–to even consider the possibility that the next president will be anyone other than one of the two major-party nominees.
A system with more viable choices would be fantastic! I absolutely, 100% encourage anyone and everyone to start working, today, toward having a viable 3rd-party candidate–or ranked choice voting, or eliminating the electoral college, or any of the other badly-needed reforms to our election system–for the 2028 election and beyond.
But part of that effort has to be voting for Joe fucking Biden this November, because if it’s Trump, there might not be a 2028 election.
You don’t have to like it, but if you fail to acknowledge the actual reality of the situation, you might as well vote for fucking Trump.
#it is NOT an exaggeration to say: if trump wins in November there may not be a 2028 election#period#fucking VOTE yall#vote blue 2024
Yeah, I just realized some people may not have heard/remembered: he floated the idea of “postponing” the 2020 election, using COVID as a pretext.
Again–I feel like I say this a lot–this is not a conspiracy theory; it was a widely-reported story at the time. The above link is to the BBC, but if you do a search for terms like “trump postpone 2020 election,” without quotes, you can take your pick of news sources.
The 2020 election did, of course, occur on schedule–in part because Republican leaders in Congress told Trump that it had to.
But, you know, extrapolating from everything we know about Trump, it’s a safe bet that what he heard was not, “No, you can’t do that because elections are the bedrock of our democracy and even trying would tear this country apart,” but “No, you can’t do that because you aren’t quite powerful enough yet.”
This time–per Project 2025–he plans to surround himself exclusively with toadies and flunkies, and to systematically purge the government of anyone who would say No to him.
That won’t address the problem of Congress–which, in real life, would have to approve any change to the election schedule, and has never done so, including during the Civil War–but it would be enough to gum up the works substantially, and by that time, Trump will have had 4 years to work on scaring Congress into submission. (And, you know, he’s already proven he has the ability to send an armed mob to attack them in their workplace, so….)
Yeah, we’re not saying he’s definitely going to try to stop the 2028 election from happening, but the plan that he is (I cannot stress this enough) overtly talking about in public, this plan has a fucking website includes the sorts of things you’d do to lay the groundwork for setting yourself up as dictator for life, and also, he’s got priors.
