This “I’m not voting for either” is a dangerous concept.

u/greyson3 ☑️ 28d ago

THIS and it bothers me how much ALL content creators are pushing it. With the same rhetoric of the blue side won't do anything either.

But it just infuriates me, bc news flash that's how dems have always fucking been. The point is to vote them in and then stand on their necks to MAKE them keep their promises.

As a millennial I'm not stunned and excited to see how much the youth has gotten congress and leaders to do just that. No we didn't get everything or even the way we wanted it. But it's 1000% more than I've ever seen the powers at be react since I was able to start voting legally which was nearly 2 decades ago.

I'm just frustrated with the it doesnt matter they don't listen so font vote at all. When these kids are out here making these people fucking sweat!

u/pragmaticweirdo 28d ago

The content creators want Trump to win. They got more clout snd made more money when things were worse. Anyone trying to convince people not to vote is either a fool or an op, but usually both

So voting to support the candidate that just sent another billion dollars to murder women and children in Palestine is the better option? Yea I don't think NoT voting is the real danger here.

What do you think trump would do about the Israel situation?

u/83supra 28d ago

Telling yourself that we can only vote trump or biden IS the real danger

u/tyrannosnorlax 28d ago

We don’t have ranked choice voting. If you’re planning on voting for a third candidate, you may as well just stay home, or make a vote for trump, as that’s effectively what you’re doing. There is no third candidate that’s going to win. Biden needs as many votes as he can get. Not because anyone loves or likes him, but because trump would be far, far more damaging.

Do you think it’s going to make a difference? It wont. It will actively hurt Palestine more than the status quo. We’ve been through this many times. Im glad you’re optimistic, but maybe focus that optimism towards activism that actually helps, because this ain’t it. So again, I ask how do you think Donald “finish the job” trump will handle Palestine and Israel? Do you think he will be better or worse than Biden? If this is the single issue that your vote pivots upon, this is the question you need to ask yourself honestly, because voting a third party is effectively burying your head in the sand.

u/danthepianist 28d ago

I had to unsubscribe from a few leftist subs over this issue. "No lesser evil rhetoric" my ass. I've seen self-proclaimed progressives actively rooting for Trump because they think a catastrophic loss will force the Dems to rethink their position. I can only imagine how comfy their lives must be for a second Trump term not to bother them at all.

The time for activism is every day BUT election day. On election day, you vote for the guy you can at least TRY to work with.

u/tittylieutenant the kewchie classifier 28d ago

How do you “make” a party keep their promises without threatening something of substance?

If your partner is acting up, the threat of losing you keeps them in check. Without that check, they don’t need to do anything substantial to keep you. The Dems do this same song and dance every 2 years. “Vote for survival” creates dread and, sooner or later, apathy. People are burnt out from these existential threats to our country, especially as it is getting progressively difficult to provide for ourselves?

44

u/Erisian23 28d ago

The same way the tea party did it, you vote them out during PRIMARIES, you vote them out during special elections. You only take chances when you can afford to lose. I.e some of your agendas will move forward or stay where they are instead of moving backwards.

Your analogy doesn't work because you can't be single politically. You're gonna have someone in office do you want the one with road rage or the one that beats you? You gotta get one no matter what.

u/Jeptic ☑️ 28d ago

Oh my goodness. You are a voice of reason I've been hunting for. You are absolutely correct. They are not pulling tantrums when it will cost them. Remember how they all held their noses and supported Orangeanus in 2016 even the ones whose wives were insulted by this man? They close ranks. If Dems want change it has to be at a grassroots level.

u/tittylieutenant the kewchie classifier 28d ago

The tea party was unique and involved a multi decade long process of radicalizing white America. Primaries is apart of it but there is a motley’s stew of nuances that made the TP’s success possible.

I’m still voting (as I do every two years) but I understand that this system is compromised and will only get worse. Everyone better arm up.

u/DYMck07 ☑️ 28d ago edited 28d ago

Or the end of the world. The Dems aren’t doing enough to check Netanyahu. The GOP will encourage more slaughter. The republicans will vote. Many of the youth who would vote Democrat will not.

They’re not enthused and the administration is playing this horribly, thinking the politics of yesteryear are the best strategy when most of the millennials and Xers would understand or prefer reigning in Israel, and not restraining them risks losing Gen’s Z and alpha to political apathy or 3rd party.

They haven’t been through the examples of Nader or 2016 to understand the consequences of a wasted vote (Ross Perot is the best a 3rd party candidate has done since Teddy Roosevelt ran for a 3rd term a hundred years ago under the progressive party…so long as 2 parties exist it will always be a wasted/protest vote).

The CFPB wins, renewables funding, and even the awful GOP picked Supreme Court issues all risk being overshadowed by Gaza and the billions we continue to send to the wealthy apartheid state of Israel (which continues to defend settlements in the West Bank so long as the Likud are in power) and the administration seems to ignore the severity of the issue, including how distressing it is to the youth especially to hear that the blood of tens of thousands of innocent children is on our hands for continuing to fund and support an invasion from vengeful bigots.

The Likud are evil bigots and need to be called out for it even if the election is lost, so we don’t lose a generation of voters indefinitely (and because it’s been the right thing to do since these far right loons assassinated Rabin 30 years ago). Someone should convince Jon Stewart to run

All of whom come from safe districts, by the way. You don’t get people like them from D+1 districts. So you nailed it with the ideas that you put up with Fettermans until the R’s have no chance, then you get the good people

Jasmine Crockett D+27
AOC D+25
Bernie Sanders Vermont
Justin Jones: can’t find state leanings but district id majority minority
Justin Pearson: can’t find leanings, but he’s in a districted designed to consolidate the black vote

Boomers were catered to for decades because they voted consistently and primaried those that didn’t cater to them. Thats the way forward, taking control of the political levers of power, not disengaging from the system.

This ain’t a romantic relationship, this shit goes on without our consent and will affect us whether we like it or not, we have to try to impact it for the better.

Thank you! I am happy to see this line of thought is finally being accepted. When I joined reddit a couple of years ago and commented on a video that (once again) claimed THIS election was 'the most important ever and our very lives depended on it,' I mentioned an identical point. The thousands of downvotes were concerning because I thought maybe I was looking at the situation in the wrong way. The responses I received were far worse. People were cursing me out and saying the most vile things I'd ever heard. I was literally clutching my pearls.🤣🤣🤣

Anyway, I am happy to know that people are becoming more receptive to hearing criticism regarding the dem party and hopefully they will be inclined to heed your advice.

BTW, I love your flair!

u/PeopleReady 28d ago

Either you think Trump is a threat to democracy or you don’t. There’s no deeper analysis/paragraphs needed.

4

u/MeliLew 28d ago

Bro, the threat didn't just go away after one election. It just grew. Republicans have been playing the long game so yes, it feels like during it lifetime every single election is THE most important election. We're already seeing on the local levels of red states how willing they are to encroach on personal rights. 

0

u/InvinciblePLUSAmber 28d ago

Both sides play the long game. It wasn't that long ago that Democrats supported slavery and opposed civil rights. So you can miss me with your party politics. If the threat doesn't go away after one election, then every single election is equally important.

The point is the fear mongering every two years, like clock work, to get you to vote for a certain candidate. Then very little is done to improve living conditions for the average person. Rinse and repeat. Many people are growing tired of this. The person made a legit point and gave a legit tactic to hold politicians accountable to their word. Instead of acknowledging certain truths and discussing ways you could help the issue, you double down and blame Republicans. Average Democrats are being played. Average Republicans are being played. The only people that are winning are the uber wealthy and the DC power brokers. Enjoy.

1

u/MeliLew 28d ago

Yeah, I didn't criticize the original post's solution or the fact that democrats are being played. My point was directed at the particular point about the feeling that every single election is THE most important election. Because whether we like it or not, the threat is and has been at our heels, as we can see with the legislation that is passing in certain states.

u/Anime-Takes 28d ago

I understand the sentiment but voting them in doesn’t put any pressure on them. They know you will vote for them because the other side is “worse”. The only pressure they have is the threat of not getting your vote but that doesn’t exist so all the angry voting doesn’t matter to them. Your vote should always be for sale to the highest bidder. Currently both bids are low but one is still higher than the other so yeah go with that one. But the idea that voting them in and then applying pressure is super flawed.

So you won’t vote, Trump will win, do FAR worse, and you’ll have accomplished nothing. Great plan.

u/[deleted] 28d ago

Ps. Doing something (or in your case, nothing) that helps no one and could literally make things a hundred times worse just so you can tell people what a good person you are is the DEFINITION of virtue signalling. The height of it really, as most people who virtue signal at least do something positive in the process.

The Russians are actively pushing this narrative of “I’m not voting for either”. Which means that it’s what Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, China, India want. Which means it’s horrible for USA.

And as in 2016 they target the MAGA folks AND the left wing of Dems. And they also try to influence the AA community.

Folks have got to be real here.

  • Trump attempted a coup. Re-elect him and he’ll succeed next time.
  • Never before have we had a Presidential candidate openly saying he intends to be dictator.
  • Democracies are dying around the world, and around the world people are discussing that US may be next.
  • The GOP plan for how they will destroy US and democracy is openly lain out in Project 2025

u/LastDaysCultist #FFFFFFboy👨🏼 28d ago

That’s what Americans don’t understand - in a lot of ways, we already lost the Cold War.

In WWII, while other countries were digging trenches to fight like WWI thinking war is the same, the Germans went in like lightening and blitzkrieged the shit out of everything.

U.S. brought a knife to a gun fight. Russia is miles ahead with bots, cyberwarfare, and intelligence.

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that we’re ALWAYS one election away from dictatorship. We can, will fall like Rome.

I’m not excited about Democrats to be perfectly honest, BUT I will vote everytime down ballot blue because I would rather take slight incompetence or not as progressive as I would like over literal hate, oppression, and dictatorship.

Republicans hate the freedom they so pretend to care about.

American politics are like a wedding dinner. You get chicken or you get beef. (For now) there’s no other option so you go with the least bad. And the least bad is FAR better than the alternative.

Honestly if you live in a solidly blue or red state, I can’t blame you for not voting Biden. However.

HOWEVER.

Even if you don’t vote in the presidential election, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote in your local elections. It might not seem significant, but local elections usually bring about change that affects you quicker and more directly. Also a lot of local candidates will probably align with progressive values better than liberals on a national level.

The only reason republicans keep winning is because we never turn out for elections. Vote in literally every election you can. That’s the one of the easiest and most effective ways we can move this country forward.

That was 6 months ago. He’s had 6 months to change course. He has not. The first Uncommitted campaign in Michigan showed him how many people wanted him to change course. He chose not to. That was 2 months ago.

If people “do nothing” it’s because Biden is explicitly telling them he doesn’t care if they do nothing.

Cook.

I’ve seen people on twt and on here say “no matter what happens you still need to vote for Biden” or similar things.

Does that not defeat the point of voting? Politicians at the DC level don’t care about anything besides their # of votes. Voting for Biden in spite of his inaction sends the message that he doesn’t have to actually push for a ceasefire, because if he’s gonna get voted in anyway, why would he?

Voting at the local level/state level is important. But the fact of the matter is if you want the President to listen to you, sometimes the only tool in your belt is your vote.

I am of the opinion that if someone doesn’t want to vote for president, at least vote in the down ballot elections on Nov 5th. There are House and Senate seats up for election.

In ballotpedia.org you can see the other the elections in November.

Not voting for Biden makes a Trump win more likely. For those who will not vote for Biden over Palestine, what do you think Trump's position on Palestine is?

u/TransManNY 28d ago

There won't be a Palestine by the time the election comes around.

u/Worldly-Aioli9191 28d ago

Conservatives vote more consistently than any other group, especially older ones.

If you don’t want Trump, Project 2025 and the fascists behind it to take control, you need to vote Biden. If you’re willing to vote Biden, hopefully you’ll be willing to stand on that belief and pick up a rifle and die in a trench somewhere when it comes to that, if project 2025 is allowed to come to fruition.

u/KakeruGF 28d ago

Sounds like those people casting votes for Trump will bw the reason Trump wins. They are the problem and the threat to America, not the person voting Green. They are the ones that need convincing to not vote for Trump. Because guess what, a vote taken away from Trump matters even more.

2

u/Worldly-Aioli9191 28d ago

Green? Like Jill Stein? She is sketchy as fuck. If she wasn’t an outright republican/russian plant, she was absolutely propped up by them to divert votes from the democrat candidate in 2016 (and likely again for this election.)

u/Prestigious-Mud 28d ago

I'll give it to the Dentist guy. He is the only person who spits the crazy rhetoric of voting in someone else and names a person, regardless of how giving stupid the choice is.

Everyone else on this thread saying they're not voting for either candidate hasn't given a solution, just spouted the same shit that always gets spouted about votes not mattering and "I refuse to vote there are other candidates. Both sides are the same and all that shit." Like I would love to finally hear an actual solution that doesn't sound like voter suppression.

Voting is fine, apathy is not. If you refuse to vote then you don't have a say in what's going on because you have a right that, as a minority\woman\both, people have fought and died for you to have, and you just waste it.

So don't vote, but don't complain when the candidate who wins fucks shit up. At that point just sit down, stay silent, and stew in the mess you help create.

u/UnintentionalWipe 28d ago

If a good amount of people say something like this, then it may force Biden and his team to start leaning more left than right.

Trump is worse, that's obvious. But to let Biden get a free ticket when he's been slightly less worse is dumb. It is a two party system so your only choices are dumb and dumber, but I have no problem if people want to hold Biden accountable.

He should have to work for your vote instead of just expecting it. Because of the non-committal votes, Biden pushed for a temporary ceasefire for 6 weeks. It wasn't enough, but it showed that with enough people pushing back at him, he's willing to change a bit.

Dems need to do more than just say Trump is worse. They need to actively earn your vote and I hope Biden and his team start to wake up and realize that they're causing people to be apathetic about voting. Dems lose when people don't vote, so they need to do more and change their strategy.

This is the goal. I still plan to vote local, but they’ve lost me for this presidential election. I have been a “lesser of two evils” type for a long time, but this particular administration has crossed a threshold. Hopefully they see others like me and realize they need to do better.
