    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.

        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

          Let’s see, you replied to my parent comment, unsolicited.

          Then to my post. Again, unsolicited.

          I wonder who’s the fan of who…

                I told you from the start that was what it was about. Or at least, I tried to. You seem to have this tendency to assume you know where people are coming from and of condescending to them rather than explaining, before you even hear what they’re saying. You even did it again in this very thread!

                So much of that drama could’ve been avoided if you’d shown basic decency and respect and talked to me like an actual human being. Then you would’ve seen what I was arguing ages ago. It’s really a very poor style of communication.

                  Lol, so proud of offering nothing of substance.

                  You act like a complete prick around here. Don’t expect people to treat you with respect.

    What the hell? I’ve not heard that yet. What asinine reason are they peddling?

    Everyone should vote, all the time. It’s your right and duty. Everyone deserves a say.

        Lol this is a follow-up to another meme in this community. You’ve invented a narrative about something you don’t understand.

          This is straight up lies following an argument you had with a trans person ive quoted for you as stating they will vote, that you cited as an example of telling you to abstain.

            So sorry for your inability to discern context.

            I hope that gets better for you.

                Literally look at the verbatim of the post you found your “context” on, you dunce.

                Yes, I was incorrect about Objection being one of the many advocating not to vote in the general.

                Instead, they’re one of the other dangerous group advocating to “vote” but allow Biden to lose to Trump.

                Which is more or less the same, but they get to virtue signal.

                If that’s your “gotcha” here, then congrats, I guess.
