Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.

Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.

    If the red-until-we’re-dead outnumber the blue-no-matter-who, then you end up with the Republicans, who tend to be worse when it comes to war things (and other human rights violations). Anybody who abstains to vote in a region where their vote matters is supporting a Republican, or even a Trump, victory.

      Yeah yeah, and if someone votes for Trump that’s actually two votes for Trump! 🤡

      Anybody who votes for Biden is giving his regime legitimacy. You are telling the government and the world that you support him and what he is doing. The fact that you even stipulate this with “in a region where their vote matters” should make it clear that elections are mostly for propaganda and not actually legitimate expressions of democratic will. You’re just supporting genocide by voting for Biden.

        You know why it’s this way? Because people like you would rather abstain from the process than try and improve it.

        The system sucks, most everyone can agree on that. But refusing to participate just makes it worse, not better. And all the people who feel the only recourse is open rebellion have about as much chance of succeeding as all the other militia groups who sit in their compounds fuming at the state of things they’ve done nothing to improve.

        I hope stewing in your own pride feels good as the world burns around you.
