gently caress it, and gently caress them.

The whole party from president to dog catcher can go wallow in poo poo for all I care.

Yep, NoJoe is not enough. NoDem is the only way forward.

I have not voted for Joe today, and I will not vote for Joe or any other Democrat on any other day.

The parties put up senile, lying, worker-hating, sexual-abusing, war-mongering monsters, and I won't check the box for either of them.

yeah I was bending over backwards trying to find a way to let the democrats who call themselves progressives slide because I want better things to happen because I'm a simple stupid baby

i didn't want to admit that the problem is joining the party in the first place, because that ruins what you are able to do. and what good is it anyway if you're going to turn around and say that Joe Biden is okay? Who cares what you think about ethnic cleansing in palestine being bad if you say 'but vote for joe biden'? you obviously don't mean it

I make a point to not trust the religious as regards my personal safety because I feel that they will value their thing they view as holy more than my life which their holy thing says is bad. The same principle applies to democrats. If they're willing to stand up to everything Joe Biden has done and say 'this is acceptable and good,' then they are only there as a grift or harm in the first place. And, worse, even if they're not, they'll be ground down to irrelevance or be broken to compliance.

Nothing good can come out of a democrat, and everyone who uses that loving dog catcher line can choke on poo poo i hate it so goddamn much

yeah lol the democrats here own the murdering police union and the mayorship that doxxes protesters and the state senators who stood with the republicans to stifle passing every marijuana measure the voters approved

literally the best possible alternative is hoping a republican is a hosed up accident like trump, even at the local level here. I'm not voting for a republican ever for any reason, and I think I'm getting there with democrats too. it's not even a judgement on the person, harsh or fair either way, but their association with a party that is a universal bad that is unacceptable.

As someone who personally knows every Dem candidate downballot this year, they're all absolutely insufferable shitheads that are riding the Biden wave of knifing the left

I won't be risking my life to vote for any liberals this year lol

This wildly varies on your city. My all Dem city council is saying protesters are valid while increasing police funding so they can kidnap more protesters and still giving development corps massive tax abatements in the middle of a pandemic to build luxury housing

Read up on local news and talk to local activists to see who to vote for locally

my city (richmond va) also has a democratic city council and a dem mayor that are mostly police apologists; that’s why i’m campaigning for different officials (who may or may not run with a D next to their name) that are willing to hold police accountable (and either defund or abolish them completely)

this, pretty much. look up your local activist groups (and make sure their politics align with yours, most of them are farther left than the standard american political dichotomy but some are just hiding their succ while they wait for big money donors to make it rain) and do some research on, say, who’s running for school council and what their positions are

basically your influence as a voter and as a political body only increases as you get closer to the local level; for national elections and poo poo yeah your vote is worthless, but you might actually be able to help your community by getting involved on a local level where candidates actually have real tangible policy influence

vote! (locally, and not for joe)

You gotta admit that an election result of "Biden votes < Trump votes, but Biden+Howie votes > Trump votes" would be the funnest thing to ever happen and would send the liberals into the ultimate screaming meltdown. I think it's worth bothering, I mean can you imagine how mad they'd be? It'd be so wonderful.

Voting Green ticks all the boxes for me: it's not voting for Biden, it's helping a party with a platform that represents me, and it pisses off smug liberals. Hard to think of a downside except that Howie is not likely to actually win.

You don't have to try to convince me of the power of local voting. In the decade since I've been able I've shown up nearly every time there's been a vote no matter how insignificant. I know from experience it hasn't done dick haha

Also with enough votes you can unlock "stretch goals" like public funding.

Oh man, this is amazing.

So I, too, was once of the opinion that I'd vote for Democrats on the downballot. Then I got over it, because why would I support people who eat poo poo with a grin in hopes they can ride rapist coat-tails into office?

NoJoe, NoPeopleWhoSupportJoe

But the icing on the cake was today when someone posted this on the local rural-community message board:

Some BlueMAGA posted:

i want to give a huge thank you to the Vermont Democratic party for changing the rules. Candidates for office can no longer have a list of 2, 3 or more "parties" after their name on the ballot if they want to run as a Democrat. I long ago decided to not vote for candidates who had all these parties endorsing them on the ballot. PICK a party and run in that party! Running as a candidate in more than one party always said to me, this person has no strong values or principles. I applaud the Vermont Democratic party for finally stopping this.

Thanks for making this an easy decision for me VTDems! If a candidate also go the Progressive or Liberty Union endorsement, I might have actually voted for them.

I'd laugh if we got the first scientologist president before the first Jewish president because libs were busy slamming the Jewish guy as being an anti-semite through incredibly anti-semitic memes.

Might be a good way to get "In God We Trust" off of our paper money, at least.

I'd vote Bass long before voting Biden, because there is a parallel universe in which she was up against a fascist and she's the funnier option while in every conceivable universe Joe Biden can gently caress right off.
