    I don’t want fascist border and immigration policies, whether it’s republicans or democrats doing it. Both are promising to do more of it, so I won’t vote for them. I don’t want a genocide in Palestine, whether it’s democrats or republicans doing it, so I won’t vote for them. I don’t want an economic trade war with China, the nation that makes almost everything including the shit our own military uses. Once again, both are promising more of that, so I won’t vote for them. I don’t support prosecutors, so I won’t vote for Harris. I don’t support exploitative business owners or silver-spoon dipshits, so I won’t vote for Trump.

    There’s no “snooze” on the bomb. Both of the parties are asking for your vote so they can detonate the bomb. You can’t stop either of them from doing it, so why fucking endorse them?

      At least one party isn’t trying to ban EV’s and makes some attempts for green policy, which is important with climate change basically already here. They also forgive some student loans for some people, funded an infrastructure bill, and give some increased child tax credits. Also isn’t trying to hurt LGBTQ people in a federal level.

        https://www.npr.org/2024/05/14/1251096758/biden-china-tariffs-ev-electric-vehicles-5-things

        China is the largest EV manufacturer on the planet and make better and cheaper EVs than the extraordinarily expensive US-made EVs. But you’re right, making it so only the wealthy can have EVs isn’t technically banning them; it’s just not any better.

        makes some attempts for green policy, which is important with climate change basically already here.

        Half and quarter measures are again no different from doing nothing at all. Pretend green initiatives that do nothing but placate soft libs who don’t actually care about policy doesn’t help.

        They also forgive some student loans for some people, funded an infrastructure bill, and give some increased child tax credits. Also isn’t trying to hurt LGBTQ people in a federal level.

        They’re not trying to protect LGBTQ people either, and everything else you just mentioned was done in name only, they’re all complete failures compared to the promises of the Biden campaign.

        So all it takes to get you to vote for genocide is faking doing good things without really actually doing anything.
