  • We're not fine. Any metrics i care about have been goin downhill since 2016. They didnt change course in 2020, and would probably worsen in 2024 if trump wins. Or in 2028 if he wins, or 2032, 2036. Might be a 2040 old centrist Hillary vs Trump Jr. I dont see anything good long term with the current voting system.

  • No, your ballot will have, among other candidates besides those two, an option to vote for anyone that has registered as a candidate.

  • We already had trump. He might still win. Or hell, 2028 when he's not running against an incumbent. Maybe republicans find a new crazy to rally behind. Basically, this looming threat isnt going anywhere by keeping this status quo, in fact its pretty likely to come to fruition eventually. Its gonna take rallying behind a big shift. Voting in people challenging the whole voting system we have.

  • You really been missing all my emphasis on voting? You can vote for someone other than Biden.

  • No youre doing something, voting to reelect Biden. This whole hostage situation is a self fulfilling prophecy, we're all allowed to vote for whoever, doesnt have to be in any political party, and the person with the most, well, approximately the most votes thanks to the electoral college, gets the elected position. But everyone assumes everyone else is gonna vote for Biden, none that ive met so far that actually like the guy, so everyone votes for him. And this trend of more and more conservative democrats vs crazier and crazier republicans that must be stopped, continues. The guy you want to hold accountable will be rewarded instead, with your help, and the two party system will be even less challenged. I say its a bandaid that needs ripping

  • The barest minimum for holding a politician accountable is not reelecting them.

  • that sounds about what my assumptions were. A desire for accountability, yet you'll be voting for him and he won't be facing any sort of accountability.

  • And we must hold Biden responsible.

    I think in place of this, you mean Biden should be held accountable, but you have no intention or expectation of it actually happening. Reelection is definitely the opposite of that. And like Bush transitioning to Obama, I doubt you'll be calling for any retroactive accountability once Biden has left office after reelection.

  • we might be talking about different letters, this is the one that I've been seeing referenced

  • right, specifically united states christians supporting the occupation and killing of palestinians

  • No, it calls out lobbyists, and israeli occupation of palestine. No mention of a global jihad

  • I guess youve forgotten what you were replying to. This is just convincing me more of my original post.
