Please enlighten me on how this is a boy who cried wolf situation? Trump has materially done many, many, many things that would individually be disasterous
Are you seriously arguing that he’s not really all that bad, or are you just here to troll?
Yeah, every once in a while I’m reminded that even the generally good side does shitty things. I want to be excited to vote for people, not be required to do it to prevent an apocalypse. This sucks.
What if someone gives you the choice between them shooting one baby, or them shooting two? That’s more analogous to our situation. Would you simply refuse to participate, increasing the chance of both babies dying, or would you make the choice for only one and accept some responsibility? It’s basically the trolley problem.
I guess I just don’t understand why someone would do this. I mean if I had a gun I’d also just shoot the murderer, but assassination is “illegal” and “a federal crime” so unfortunately that’s not an option.
I mean, I think it’s cool and good, but it was still lame to downplay the importance of the choice of your vote by choosing it.

supporting genocide
Again, I’ve laid out in great detail why I think it’s the least genocide-supportive action possible for us to make at this time* and therefore why it is explicitly the opposite of supporting genocide.
voting + direct action would be better, but since that includes voting, it doesn’t matter for my point here
Also, be honest with yourself, out of all those things you listed do you genuinely think Biden would somehow deliver on any of them (except the genocide)?
I really don’t want to have to keep a list, because I think this stuff is obvious, but I feel like at this point I should.
Unions: Biden is the most pro-union president in history. Example:
“Nearly all the major labor unions have endorsed Mr. Biden. The board of the AFL-CIO, which represents 60 unions and has over 12 million members, was one of the first to endorse him in June last year, 17 months before the general election.
Over 30 organized national labor groups have endorsed Mr. Biden, including LiUNA, a construction workers union with many Latino and Black members, and the United Auto Workers (UAW). Many endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020, and exit polling shows he won 56% of union households nationwide, compared to 40% for Trump, nearly double 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s support.”
Anti-monopoly actions: Within about one week, the following anti-corporate actions occurred:
An excellent cabinet: idk literally just google them. I’m not explaining how what we have now is better than Betsy DeVos & Co. Biden picked a cabinet and he chose well.
And many other good things that aren’t exciting but are extremely important (here’s the most recent Biden article I’ve seen): lemmy.world/post/15676395
