The corruption is really open at this point.
Given how close the polls are, if want to stop this, Americans here going to need to actively work to help elect Biden. That means checking your voter registration, talking with people you know, volunteering, and financially supporting the campaign
You're viewing a single thread.

Yeah 'cause Biden is doing such a great job, lmfao. Vote third party. I like Cornel West. He's not a pathetic little removed for the oil companies, like the main party candidates.
-
West, like the other 3rd party candidates is around to serve as a spoiler and make it easier for Trump to win.
-
Well, this country isn't going to get better until we have reasonable representation, and binary is obviously not reasonable. These main candidates are atrocious. Literally both amongst the worse we've ever seen in this country. They shouldn't even be allowed to be in power. They've both committed war crimes.

You're in a 2 party FPTP system, it doesn't give you reasonable representation by design.
You get someone you dislike and someone you dislike even more. Voting 3rd party is literally voting against your interests. That's not an ideological choice, or a political choice, it's a deeply saddening mathematical reality.
The only way you get your position heard is by fighting candidates for your least-disliked party during the primaries. Get someone you like as the congressional or senatorial candidate. Help them get elected. Even a small number of senators or congressmen can make the difference (see Synema and Manchin for example, or hell even Boebert and MTG who all wield(ed) significant political power well beyond what their voteshare should give them).
By fighting the fight you can't win (e.g. the vote for president), you only weaken your least-disliked choice. So whoever you really don't want ends up getting elected. Why? Because the US election system sucks balls.
Voting for the Green party makes it less likely that climate change legislation goes through. That is the sad, paradoxical reality. Being an ideological crusador in this matter doesn't help anyone and is due to the reality of the shit voting system, despite the best intentions, immoral.

You have a responsibility to be MUCH better informed.
Do it.

You mean the Republicrats are corrupt too? I am aghast.
-
That's a new one for me! Thanks yo. Funny. So yeah they're both totally unbearable and I'm sick of their shit.

So you are willing to take someone who is TOTALLY in bed with oil companies over someone who is much much less in bed with oil companies and does things like stop drilling in the arctic, fund renewables etc etc?
I feel like that kind of argument would make total sense to a 4 year old.

Looks like we've got some fucking perpetuators out here tonight.
