Its soooo hard for me to take any group seriously that can ask me to vote for Biden and in the same breath sincerely argue the man isnt senile. At least if they admited his obvious senility it woukd show enough self awareness of the party that i might even consider getting on board.

Lol, i see what your saying

Id argue the best we got is literally any of the people on the ballot other than them

Trump seems to be more liked by people in israel based on my expiernce living there.

That said, both of them seem pretty eager to support israel's genocide. So that rules out both of them in my book. The worst thing we coukd do fornisraelnis to let them commit a genocide within theirnown borders.

Next time we have Biden over for dinner ill ask to sniff his leg hair. Im sure it will make him very happy.

@freemo Eh, he's certainly not what he used to be, but "senile" might be a bit far. Every time I start thinking that, he delivers a good speech or jokes around with reporters, showing a degree of cunning that seems incompatible with senility.

@freemo

The problem is that the choice is between two people. So it is bad or really bad.

@ABScientist Huh? No it isnt. There are usually 4 or more choices for president on every ballot.

@freemo

What happens to votes that do not go to the two main candidates? Are those simply ignored? Or do they go to the candidate with the highest number of votes?

@ABScientist all votes go to the cabdidates you vote for. One with the most wins.

@freemo

So if candidate A gets 45%
candidate B gets 35%
candidate C gets 5%
candidate D gets 5%,

A will be the winner and gets all the votes/points/representatives (winner takes all).

If those voting for C and D would have voted for B, B would have won and takes everything?

@ABScientist

Correct. And if those who voted for B and C voted for D then D would have won.

What ifs dont matter because they didnt, and they wont.

@freemo Probably the more honest point of view is: vote for Biden knowing that after a while he will be replaced by Kamala Harris.

By the way, USA democracy and democracy in the west is mainly a farce. It can be improved a lot.

@mzan

Im not sure whats worse, a senile racist, or a woman who is sexist towards other women and kisses up to cops... at least she isnt senile.
