I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Remember when Joe Biden acknowledged his age, promised to only run for one term, and then make room for the next generation of Democrats back in 2020? And then remember when he abandoned that promise, demanded to run in 2024, closed out the field by threatening access to cabinet/donor pools if anyone crossed him, took the primary virtually uncontested, and immediately dropped out after the first debate because he got caught drooling all over himself?

Damn. Remember how this was all because of those damned Michigan Uncommitted voters protesting a genocide of their family and friends?

Honestly, if the Progressive Left is going to waste its vote during an uncontested primary, I question whether they should be allowed to vote at all.

They are complaining about a ban (lame) from almost a year ago (super lame.) Don't give them attention.

Vote left and feel complicit, to a degree, for that candidates' policies related to Palestine. Vote right (or not at all) and feel complicit in further violence AND reduction in LGBT+ protections in my home country.

Yep, I made my choice in 'wasting' my vote. Crazy to me when people think not voting will get politicians to suddenly seek out their policies, when instead they'll just shift further to the right to capture politically active voters across the aisle.

Do you (presumed non-voter) feel responsible for any of what was just shot through executive orders today?

Yes, I do.
