Just to be clear, I am not actually American. I do not stay up to date on American politics. It come up on the news and I'm like 'that's wild. Anyway-', partially because they don't go into depth and partially because I have better things to do than worry about things I can't affect. I get involved with local stuff but I've only got so much time and energy.
If Biden stood where I am everyone would stare and wonder how the hell that nut job got so far. Then go and vote for someone who will actually try to make the country better, or at least won't be actively making it worse.
I draw the line at actively screwing over the people you're responsible for, at pissing on migrants and refugees, and trying to start a war.
alright gang, let's do a fun little thought experiment.
which city would biden have to completely annihilate before you decide not to vote for him?
for the sake of this thought experiment, let's ignore actual real-world alliances between countries. it can be london, or paris, or athens, or barcelona, or rome, or berlin, or even an american city like new york or new orleans or los angeles or honolulu. this is all a hypothetical after all.
really consider it. if you're gonna bother to yap in my notes, at least try to engage with this question in good faith. imagine opening up the news, and you see that a bomb was dropped on this city, and then the bombs never stop. imagine you had a friend there. imagine you'd had a trip planned to meet them and see the sights. imagine every museum, every historical monument, every theatre, every university destroyed. imagine that one day, you lived in a world where this city existed, and the next, it has completely ceased to be. it's effectively been pompeii-ed out of our world entirely. there is no longer a big ben, or a parthenon, or a colosseum, or what have you. there is no longer that foreign musician you loved from this city. there are no longer sweet old grannies to share old family recipes from this part of the world. there is no longer the online friend you wanted to visit. there is no longer your vacation plans.
don't hit me with, "but it's netanyahu doing this," because israel would literally run out of ammunition in weeks without the US. don't hit me with, "but trump!" because that quite literally is not the fucking question.
which city has to completely cease to exist before you even consider that this system isn't ever going to work?
if you are still planning to vote for biden, then either a) biden could drop a nuke on any city on earth and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for you, or b) in your mind, people and places are divided into ones that are acceptable to destroy and ones that are not. or at least, there are ones that are more acceptable to destroy than others.
come up with your answer and either realize you sound like a fascist and work to change it, or embrace that you are a fascist and stop lying to us about caring about people of color.
#*I meant metaphorically pissing on people but doing so literally deserves a punch to the face too#I can't threaten to withhold something I don't have#Also so long as he has at least a few brain cells Biden should know how bad a position he's in#The ONLY reason people vote for him is because he's not the other guy#The second someone better comes along he's out#Who's his vice president? He's old enough that they should probably be taken into account when choosing who to vote for. Same for trump#And stop acting like this is the only factor to consider when voting#It's more complicated than that#I said in the earlier tags I'd vote for wherever the kremlin is (to remove some of trumps power for international harm)#Now I say: wherever gets me out of this conversation#If i don't respond it'd not a victory for you but a victory for me#You suck at arguments. Pro tip: take a chill pill and acknowledge the nuances#I still don't understand what you're after#A trump presidency? Is that it? It sounds like what you want especially when you remember that in practice America only has two options#Politics#Us politics
