      OP wants to know why people don’t vote. If you believe in voting you’re probably not going to like any of the answers but they shouldn’t be downvoted for answering the question as asked.

      Hey. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf on social media. In situations like this, I will be absolutely serious, direct, and respectful. Regardless of if you disagree with my view, I politely ask the same thing. We need to talk to each other with respect regardless of our views. Agreed?

        Ok I will rephrase to be polite and respectful.

        When you are presented with the option of voting for or against fascism, what makes that choice difficult?

          It’s not a difficult choice at all because, you said it yourself; voting for or against when I already stated that I would vote for no one because we as a nation have put people in power that have the authority to supercede our vote. It’s not a left or a right thing. It’s not a democracy or fascism thing. It’s a fact that every single American has to contend with because WE as American citizens allowed it to happen. Isn’t that democracy?

        The one that wants to overthrow democracy and would like to fund the ethnic cleansing at an even higher rate/amount is the fascist. The one that has encouraged Israel to go faster / do more in Gaza is the fascist. I do not like Biden’s weakness confronting Israel, but one is a cheerleader, and one is weakly pushing for caution.

          Giving Israel the means to continue ethnic cleansing is more than cheerleading. Not that it would be acceptable if he were just cheering it on.

          There’s no evidence that Trump can do anything that Biden already isn’t already, barring sending American soldiers to participate in the genocide which I doubt would be politically feasible for him. Israel doesn’t need our soldiers, they do need our bombs though, which Biden has provided without any effective conditioning.

      Kinda telling of how poor of a choice the Democratic candidates have been that they can’t or can barely sway enough votes in their favor when this is on the line.
