I rewatched this video for the first time in a while today. There were some pretty good comments NGL.

    I think voting for evil is morally wrong no matter who the alternative is. So my moral opinion of you comes down to whether you think Joe Biden is evil. If you don’t, you’re probably just misinformed somewhere based on where you are now.

      I think he sucks but he’s objectively better than the alternative

        Did you intentionally avoid answering whether you think he’s evil?

        Few would argue that Biden is worse than Trump. The question is whether Biden is worth your vote or not.

          Lol am I walking into some trap if I say “he’s the lesser of two evils”?

          If few argue that Biden is worse than Trump, what’s wrong with voting for that?

            Well, it’s later now and we still aren’t “talking about it”, in fact we’re talking about it less than before. So did this plan work? Did you save America from fascism?

              I dont think voting is going to fix everything. We need action outside of that. But voting still does something. And some democrats are pushing for ranked choice voting which is an avenue for more socialist in power through voting.

              So yeah, I guess I disagree with the “lets talk about that later” but she was saying that during the voting phase. Its not like a revolution is going to manifest during that small time.

                I feel that voting in national elections accomplishes next to nothing, so tabling discussions about important issues so that we can all vote harder is a net negative.

                  Yeah I dont understand the concept of tabling discussions so that we can vote. Just vote. And then discuss. Its not like voting takes that much effort.

                  (Admittedly there are some areas where voting is really difficult but I can fill out a ballot and send it in the mail in <15min)
