I don't feel like there's even a good third party to throw votes or money to, they're either issue parties like the Green party or a bunch of neckbeard basement dwellers who want their weed farms legalized and to be able to hunt people on their property for violating the NAP, like the Libertarians.
What's the alternative though? There's any number of flaws with the party, but it's the only remotely viable to the Republicans at the moment.
While this is not exactly the same as believing Trump is better than Biden (or Clinton), it's not a million miles away either. Hell, Sanders gave his support for Biden.
They're not really an alternative to the Republicans though, Biden in particular. While he's not Trump, he is a Republican. Like, that's his brand, he bills himself as a DINO conservative Democrat.
I think that until a party receives some kind of actual representation in the legislative, it's very hard to break out of being some form of "issue" party like the Green party in the states. Green parties in Europe, once they actually garnered some moderate influence, developed a more robust party profile, with stances on all the important issues, just like any other party with a sufficient profile. Of course I'd welcome it if the American Green party gained some traction and developed into an actually electable, moderately progressive alternative to the existing, sadly degenerated components of the two-party system, but I currently find it difficult to imagine that future actually taking place.
Unless he's every bit as bad as the Republicans, instead of only almost as bad, it's still in your interests that he wins, though. Far all his (and the Dems in general) many failings, he's still not that bad.
No it isn't. It explicitly isn't. I gain nothing by voting for Biden. While there is an argument to be made that I lose more if Trump wins, I don't gain anything by voting for Biden. And voting for something that you know will hurt you, under threat of hurting you more if you don't is how the Dems let the clown in in the first place.
You gain the potential to not have a conservative supreme court for who knows how long. I know you want progress, I do as well. It ain't going to happen overnight short of a revolution. To instead just cast your vote away is incredibly short-sighted in my mind and potentially damning this entire country.
Biden's already let through conservative judges and sunk Anita Hill before. He doesn't like Roe v Wade. I honestly don't think he's protection against a conservative judge.
Whilst those aren't the same, I'm not seeing a massive difference between the two.
So...4 more years of Trump then, that's the plan? Biden in power won't fix everything by any means. Trump in power again won't fix anything. You don't get your choice of candidate next time just because you fail to support the candidate this time.
Putting Biden in won't fix anything, just like putting Clinton in wouldn't have fixed anything. Obama barely even fixed anything (and made so many things so much worse) and he was to the left (marginally) than these 2. That's the problem. No matter what, if Trump or Biden wins, we go right. We've gone right for decades because the democrats are a right wing party. And whether they win or lose, they go right. I'm not voting for a right wing candidate.
Hillary got more votes. And that was when no one liked her and Trump had not dragged this country though right-wing Hell.
OTOH, Clinton would have made a better PotUS than Biden, and the Republicans have been given exciting new opportunities for voter suppression. I'd like to think more people in the US would realise that stopping Trump be PotUS is sorta important, but not got my fingers crossed.
Biden is a man and I do not doubt for one second that won't net him a ton more votes that were too sexist to go to Hillary. I am actually pretty confident Biden will get noticeably more votes than Hillary did. Not saying the Presidency won't be stolen again, but if so, it will be due to corruption.
We've been over this Saelune. Votes are not how you win, Electoral College is. Hate is as much as you want, that's how you win. The team that wins the world series is based on the team that wins the most games, not that team that gets the most runs over all 9 games. So to the Presidency.
That you can't tell if it's real or not is the most telling part, because that is basically the Dem strategy with him. "Don't think about him, just know that he's a lovable goof, because that's what America needs right now!"
If you want to claim that Biden won't become President, go ahead, but do not use misinformation and faulty math to do it.
