    Are you going to become a single-issue voter over this or are you willing to accept the fact that there is no politician who is perfect for you?

      This isn’t about plastic straws or some other inconsequential deal, it’s about a fucking genocide. Jesus christ dude

      If there was ever going to be a single issue to vote on, genocide should probably be it.

        I think most would consider democracy to be the single issue to vote on. When one candidate has repeatedly said he’d be a dictator “for one day, and then stop” and actively argues in court that the position he’s running for is immune to the rule of law, I’m voting in whatever way is most likely to result in his defeat. As much as I complain about the candidates and the shitty voting system, I cannot compromise on the right to vote.

          So your literal argument is that if someone said, “I’ll end democracy in the US, but won’t hurt anyone”, and another candidate said, “I won’t end democracy in the US, but I’m going to conduct a genocide”, you would vote for the genocider? That’s pretty wild.

          Currently, if I don’t vote for Biden, I will probably not vote for anyone at the presidential level, or do a write-in.
