Omega_Haxors , to Politics in Young voters explain why they’re bailing on Biden, and whether they’d come back

A long empty scroll unfurls for 3-4 minutes before fully undoing with the very end being a single phrase saying “don’t do genocide”

Biden hurls the scroll back down the well it came from with a bolded, underlined, and italicized “WE GOTTA FINISH THE JOB, JACK”

I’m voting Biden

Just don’t vote for someone funding a genocide

Ultimately this won’t change unless young Democrats actually take over the party and shift the overton window back to the left.

This generally, and specifically electoral reform is the only way to get the USA out of its two-party hellhole.

That was tried in 2016. The DNC’s got too much of a stranglehold-- they’ll just keep putting up malfeasant, genocidal capitalists. There is no alliance in the Democrat party, young or no. Just like the cops, I believe the Democrats are only good for abolition-- not reform.

The only way out of the 2 party system is to stay in the 2 party system? Math ain’t mathin.

Good luck getting any reform done within America’s FPTP by going 3rd-party.

Politics is a battle of inches, and you need to walk before you can run, or else 3rd-parties are doomed to irrelevance forever.

satanicllamaplaza ,

How many inches have the dems walked backwards? Yeah I’ll vote for moving forward. You do you boo.

Genocide in the middle east
Genocide at home

Pick one

Honestly, a genocide at home may make people feel a bit empathetic for what happens abroad. But that’s not an optimal outcome for anyone.

Kusimulkku , to Politics in Young voters explain why they’re bailing on Biden, and whether they’d come back

Well this is one reason why young voters aren’t taken seriously. They don’t vote or basically waste their vote so no reason to pander or even campaign for their votes.

And then they wonder why they’re not a focus hah.

Alsephina ,

Voting in a rigged system like this where both parties are just slightly different levels of unacceptably terrible is meaningless anyway. Organizing outside it is the only way there’ll be change.

Kusimulkku ,

You could do both. You’d hopefully get the less shitty guy to win while hoping that the outside organizing works out.

Alsephina ,

Has that been working out at all? The “less shitty guy” is a zionist that’s supporting a genocide right now.

Kusimulkku ,

Has the organizing been working out at all? Yeah. That’s why you’d do both in the slim chance it works.

And do you think the other guy is any better? Less shit option doesn’t mean a good one. Just less shit.

Alsephina ,

Has the organizing been working out at all?

People haven’t been doing that at all. Just voting for dems and simping for them as if it’ll change anything - like it’s a football game.

Kusimulkku ,

As I said, fo both, no?

spaphy , to Politics in Young voters explain why they’re bailing on Biden, and whether they’d come back

I feel as though clearing debt for the select few without actually solving the problem is a weak bid anyways. IMO that’s buying votes.

But Bidens been what he needed to be: neutral and boring, with some attempts to break monopolies on the sidelines.

Trump is insane. The mans selling crypto Pokemon cards of himself in jail. The two braincell populace will have him voted in.

So we’re just ignoring his genocidal tendencies?

Nothing new. America, land of the free… Flowing corruption.

Nothing democratic about this. Counting the votes should be the only result. Anything else is corruption.

papertowels ,

Yeah, this upcoming election is going to be an absolute shit show.

Hirom , to U.S. News in Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in defamation damages, jury rules

Lies have consequences. Anyone who Trump lies about should take notice, and take note of these lawyers’ names.

Auzy , to U.S. News in Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in defamation damages, jury rules

Good… Within a span of 10s, he claimed he had no idea who E Jean carroll was, and then the next sentence said there was “instant attraction” publicly when defaming her, and then giving a story of them meeting. Plus, there were literally photos of them together lol

Anyone who knows him, who is still defending him, is CLEARLY guilty (and is being blackmailed by trump to defend them getting paid a lot, or needs him to rise to presidency again so they can be pardoned)

The internet is poisoning our youth, and society does not know how to react.

They said the same thing about video games, TV, heavy metal, comic books and rock music. Crazy people exist, crazy people have always existed, and crazy people will always exist. Society has always been able to cope.

I hope you’re right, but I fear this is different.

Midnitte ,

Sure, but none of those things have ever been demonstrated to actually exasperate mental health issues.

Can we really say the same thing about the internet when we can see how quickly YouTube radicalized people? When we see the consequences of covid conspiracies and disinformation?

We’ll cope, but the internet is a new kind of beast that we’re continually coping without a solid plan.

Not constructive at all?

No that’s constructive, it outlines a path for improvement

They kinda fucked themselves with proposition 22 😅 to be fair there was a huge propaganda campaign from the gig app companies to push it down their throats to vote yes on it.
