Some people aren't capable of thinking in gradients/greyscale, especially in ethics and morality; their brain just goes straight to black and white absolutes. You see it here a lot.
Also white privilege; politics is like console wars or sports and not something that affects their actual lives on a daily basis
It's even stupider than Trump. At least Trump has some semblance of a thought process behind his statements.Probably the stupidest thing I've read all day.
Well, next to Trump's bullshit.
But the OP is about people considering them the same. Which they aren't.
They both suck, I'm not voting for either they're both shitheels. Just because one peice of shit smells a little less shitty doesnt mean you have to accept either, vote independent.
How many people here say they are the same? I've seen it mostly saying they're both bad options, just of different degrees.
Honestly if Biden loses what may be possibly the easiest electoral layup in years, it won't be because a few extremely online angry people decided to not vote.

And that's fine. Like I said, Biden has clear issues and wasn't my first choice. But this is just about among those reasons, one of them being that Trump and Biden are actually the same. That's the question brought up here.it's not about trump. yes i understand the american system is a 2 candidate system, but at the end of the day, there are a myriad of legitimate reasons to not vote for either and accusing people of voting for the bad guy by abstaining is not helpful.
He will lose because of the 'I am not voting, they are the same' crowd like Hilldawg.
Like, I GET the apathy. But at the same time, if you can't be motivated to vote against the racist fascist, it says less about the candidate and more about the populace.
There been a few...mostly along the lines of...'There are two rapists to vote for now..I can't decide' remarks/

In the light of Biden's assault accusations proving false, more dead from COVID than Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq combined, and his actions in the last week, i do begrudge people for not voting for Biden., I'm not going to begrudge someone for *not* voting for Biden. B
Someone has not been keeping up with the news.So the other option is to support a rapist. Seems like you're okay with that, but I'm not.
Some of us have the luxury but have a modicum of empathy and a grasp of the bigger pictureYou do you and enjoy your continued privilege. Not all of us have the same luxury.
I mean after the last few days, it's only going to happen more and more. Trump going full on facist and racist, people will do everything at all costs to get trump out.Cool so were still shaming people if they have a personal reason for not voting for Biden? Great stuff. Way to win people over to your side on that one.

If people are not willing or motivated to vote for your candidate, that says more about your candidate then the voters.
Also, no candidate is guaranteed votes, they need to earn the vote. Just because your a democrat doesn't mean minorities have to vote for you. The excuse of but the republicans are worse won't work, because what will voting for you do for me? If you can't even put in any effort to earn my vote, I am not going to put in the effort to vote for you.
As for the sky is falling narrative. Have you not been paying attention to what live has been like for minorities under both democrats and republicans? Here's a hint...they both suck. Just because one is worse doesn't invalidate that democrats are sometimes just as bad as the republicans.
Which one person is gonna be able to do that?

And yet he never once called for them to be shot down and annihilated in the streets by the military.Biden was VP to a guy who similarly called protesters in Baltimore thugs in 2015
And I'm not sure it is "worse than Trump" just another status quo keeping candidate who will stifle any real change that is needed for a better society.
He's promised to veto M4A if it ever reaches his desk. Maybe the pandemic and how 40+ million people are now out of work has changed him a little bit, but I'm not sure I'll ever trust someone who says things like that
Incredible. Just incredible. After all the shit Trump has said and done and you have the fucking nerve to say "they both suck?" Goddamn, what the fuck is the matter with you?If people are not willing or motivated to vote for your candidate, that says more about your candidate then the voters.

It's denial pure and simple. And a desire for something better than the status quo.
"Bullying"?Bullying isn't how you get people to change votes chief. Stay classy.
