Senators Rubio, Vance, & Scott, among others, refuse to say they'll accept election results
SCOTUS Justices Alito & Thomas are actively in support of insurrectionists
Speaker Johnson wants the Bible to supersede the Constitution

Fascism isn't headed to America—it's already here.

This is why I cannot stand people who say they won't vote

If they are in a group or an area that voter suppression is pointed at I understand and I forgive

But you have many #Americans, many right here on #Mastodon, loudly proclaiming they won't vote

It is melodramatic to say for most elections that it is a crisis that requires you to vote

But there is zero melodrama in saying that Nov 2024 is absolutely crucial for everyone to vote, no excuses

Do not be entitled!

#Vote!

It isn't entitled to not bother voting for a man who wont fire Dejoy (I Fucking DARE you to say postal board), Garland or secret service agents who "lost" the records for 1/6

@rticks @QasimRashid

there's hundreds of things #Biden does wrong, some of those things especially glaring, like the #USA's support for #Israel while it commits #genocide on #Gaza

but focusing on 1 issue to the exclusion of the other 100s of issues is simply a failure in tactics

like Gaza: #Trump said "finish the problem" and he would give #Netanyahu a green light for great suffering for #Palestinians

#transrights

#abortion

etc

act strategically. voting is not a love letter

#vote!

Republicans are TERRORISTS. This isnt about being upset with him for not paving the driveway or not lowering taxes

Even if he wins, what about 2028? Sooner or later a republican will win and until I see him being willing to protect us from TERRORISTS he is failing his most basic duty

No strategy, no plan just head in the sand

I will not vote for Neville Chamberline to not elect Hitler

@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@rticks @QasimRashid

so Neville Chamberlain was a flawed man, but he was no Hitler

same as: Biden is a flawed man, but he is no Trump

but apparently you want magic perfect candidate

which will never exist

so the sum total of your reasoning is you are helping us on our way to fascism by crossing your arms and pouting and refusing to do something very simple to save us from Trump

which ironically makes you something worse than Neville Chamberlain

bzzzt

he has one job above all

Keep the American People SAFE

republicans are OPENLY ADMITTING TO INSURRECTION

He has a corrupt rape court selling women to slavery

The 1789 constitution is BROKEN

I am not voting for him UNTIL HE DEALS WITH THE THREAT TO MY LIFE

Oh.
“Biden has not used illegal and imaginary means to undo the harm of three Republican presidents, so it’s okay with me for the worst of them to be president again?”

@benroyce @rticks @QasimRashid Voting for a sub-optimal candidate is much better than letting the worst candidate win. Voting for the evil of lessers... is better than handing your children's future to the devil.

@conflicts @rticks @QasimRashid

i think that "lesser of two evils" quote by Hannah Arendt is abused and twisted for the context of our present day predicaments

i think if Hannah were alive today she'd be saying "yeah, uh, I know what I said, but vote against Trump you dingbats, too much is on the line here"

@benroyce @conflicts @QasimRashid The system will not change if it's always about that.

You would have thought the Democrats would have learned with Hillary. They didn't. Look what happened.

Now, people can voter shame all they want, but the reality is that people should vote FOR a candidate, not AGAINST a candidate.

that's where third party candidates pick up votes and begin garnering support - Republicans and Democrats, don't really care about voters or they'd pay better attention.

@conflicts @benroyce @rticks @QasimRashid Anybody who is a no-voter basically needs to choose between endorsing a potential candidate or saying they have no standards for what they will vote for.

At least back when Bernie or Bust was a thing, they could point to Bernie's policies... except Bernie endorsed Biden too.

The current policy of hardcore no-voters seems to be accelerationism. Which is basically fascism.

@QasimRashid And a huge chunk of America who should be up in arms about this won't vote to stop them.

@QasimRashid The thing about the Bible replacing the Constitution was written down in black and white in the 2016 RNC platform. As was overturning Roe, and reversing Obergfell. Maybe if more people bothered to read that we wouldn't be where we are today, and now it's all rolling over into Project 2025. Everyone should read that!

So denying evidence, truth and the democratic process is and will be an option. This is the death of politics and democracy and a highway to dictatorship… shame on them.
Clear and present danger…

mickymorse,

@QasimRashid The criminal gop in Congress has corrupted SCOTUS. Both are unfit and unworthy of their position.
