On one hand, you have people who are mostly comfortable with letting Palestinians die. On the other, people who openly talk about nuking them.

You have a group of people who may be willing to throw minorities under the bus. And you have another group that is waiting for the opportunity to do so and make it law.

Both choices are terrible, I agree, but there is one that is a clear better over the other. It sucks, but you have to accept that it's the way it is for now and you are not going to pull some third party out of your ass. That is going to have to wait for now. You have to make a decision between the lesser of two evils.

I'm counting on you, Americans. As a trans woman from a European country which political climate is heavily influenced by yours, I can quite confidently say that my rights are in your hands.

Quite frankly, I can't think of a more terrifying thought, but it is what it is.

Don't fuck this up. Please.

I know as Americans we consider ourselves the center of the universe but this is one of those things that warrant it.

With Trump's last win we saw Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Philippines, Australia, and Italy (just naming a few) in power crazy nut jobs. Attacking your community, immigrants, and the poor bc the US had someone spouting shit daily and being racist/anti immigrant was openly supported. It is like a virus, it spreads.

I hope we crush is attempt to be president again but you never know. We need the young people and millennials to vote. It's hard though.

Stay safe and I hope we have a bright future to look forward too.

Vote or don't but organize internationally

I'm not from the US, and no, I'm not feeling safer with liberal or not. Imperialism is pretty much the same. I don't know what is worse, but I'm sure that in both cases, it would worthless if you have not a strong anti-imperialist and organized movement inside an international organization.

For example, my organization is in the ICL, like the IWW.

If we are to believe Biden at his word that Trump will attempt a fascist coup regardless of election results, why is he spending his time banning tik tok instead of truth social?

"If you don't vote for genocide, your actually voting for trump 🤓 "

I'm still voting 3rd party and the blue state I live in will still give genocide Joe my vote so don't worry OP. We'll continue to provide weapons to the country that just has whistle blowers leak evidence on concentration camps. Good to know that concentration camps aren't a deal breaker for you. 😮‍💨

We support Biden because he is willing to be swayed by changing public opinion. Trump just doubles down on things people don't support when confronted. That Trump voters see the left disagreeing with Biden and think "Oh, that means they won't support him" just shows that they believe politicians views are fixed and unchanging.

My biggest concern right now is the Presidential Immunity ruling that the SC won't announce until they know who will be getting it.

That's bullshit. Biden must win so they can shoot the idea down. If Trump wins, they WILL crown him dictator, and Democracy is lost.
