    How many people are actually advocating for non voting?

    All I see on Lemmy is people begging for a candidate with a better shot at beating trump, and then they get screeched at that only Biden can stop trump because…

    Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.

      Uh, lots. There’s been a tireless effort here in leftist spaces discouraging voting for “genocide Joe” without actually providing alternatives.

      Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.

      It’s because politics moves slowly and it’s way too late for someone else to start campaigning, plus he’s the incumbent. If you had someone in mind a year ago, it would be worth discussing. It’ll never happen in the next 4 months.

        Uh, lots.

        Are they in the room with us now?

        and it’s way too late for someone else to start campaigning

        What’s weird, is the same people have been saying “it’s too late” have been saying that since 2021 now…

        Like, the DNC essentially cancelled our primary this election, and are now saying we have to go with Biden because it’s too late…

        When it’s still not too late, because the convention hasn’t happened…

        And the DNC has spent the last decade saying they can do what they want because it’s a private party.

        Like, it’s literally not too late…

        There’s only so many ways to say this mate, the DNC hasn’t named the nominee for the general election yet

        And even after they do, the DNC is a private party and they can just ignore primary results. They’ve literally paid lawyers to argue that to a judge very recently.

        It’s never to late to do all we can to stop trump.

      So, so many. PugJesus’ and my history can attest to that.

        I looked at your history since you recommended it.

        I don’t know why you wanted me to because it’s not relevant to what we’re talking about, but I did look at your post history like you asked.

          I didn’t ask you to look at it – I’m saying I’ve had countless arguments with people saying exactly that.

          Keep your eyes closed, if you like.

          Edit: You also can’t have looked far. I’ve been interacting with one for the last few hours – https://lemmy.ml/u/objection
