Dems are in power right now and what has that worthless, cowardly party done to protect Roe v Wade? Trans rights? Stopping mass incarceration? Ending the US Mexico border concentration camps? Socializing health care? Stopping fracking? Defunding the police? Defunding the military industrial complex?
Leaning on minorities to vote for a party that is incapable of wielding power against their enemies and oppressors is so intellectually dishonest that it makes me sick. Minorities in America will never get justice from a party of imperialist colonizers whose only selling point is they’re not as abhorrent as the other fascists.
Why should they? The Democrats are neoliberals, they are not your friend. They are not going to do anything for you.
The American two-party system is designed in such a way that as long as the Republicans are overtly evil, the Democrats get a free pass to do whatever they want so long as they do not cross that threshold.
It’s designed to punish voters who think they can opt out of the electoral system by not voting. Don’t want to vote? You get the worse choice of the two!
And what the people are advocating here (not voting Biden) is exactly the behavior that the system is designed to punish. It’s meant to demoralize and break your will until you are no longer capable of resisting. It’s designed for you to lose.
The only way out of this is to have a political movement that does not play by the rules of the electoral system. But since such a movement does not exist in America, the least you can do right now is to slow the erosion of minority rights.
It’s the choice between evil and a worse evil. Or rather, Build Back Fascism Better or Make Fascism Great Again. And you will have made your choice between the two even when you don’t vote.

The least you can do right now is not assume the person you’re replying to even gets to vote for the President, because America decided that those of us who live in their territories are second class citizens whose votes shouldn’t count. An issue that neither party even pretends to care about. And, as people were saying elsewhere in the thread, you don’t get to have it both ways. Not voting IS distinct from making a choice. Voting for the dems despite their support for genocide just sends them a message of approval, that minorities are their little pet dogs who will stick by their side no matter what.

Supporting genocide is overtly evil.

You forgot the depriving people with felony convictions from voting even after their release.
