      There’s been a moderate-sized influx of supposed good leftists who all of a sudden are very concerned with spreading the message that both parties are basically the same, and voting won’t change anything. I won’t say all of them are fake Trump-promoted social media shills, but I definitely believe some nonzero number of them are that.

        I’ve even noticed them around here, asking with some who claim to be left but will comment on how bad Joe is on articles about TFG.

        Don’t forget that Russia pays people to do this subterfuge shit and Russia desperately needs Trump to win.

        Just vote for the least retarded one, since the options are slim. But I do not have a vote right in USA so whatever.

        I don’t care enough to check those links, but did you try to convince me that Trump is good?

          I didn’t mention Trump at all. He’s an idiot. But it’s really disingenuous when people that I usually presume are Americans (with how much they talk about American politics) go around calling everyone tankies and Russian bots for criticizing the leaders of a country that has caused death and destruction in many other nations. Especially when the person they are advocating for continues to support it. It’s ignorance or intellectual dishonesty to handwave these things away. If knowing them makes people no longer want to support their candidate, their candidate shouldn’t be participating in such action.

            Look I’m no fan of us gov in any degree, but would be cool if the people of strongest country on the planet wouldn’t vote in the sack of sardine shit who’s trying to not only destabilize the enemies but allies too

              I agree but people like the ones posting in this thread are in for a hard lesson if all they’re going to do is cry wolf and blame everyone else for Biden’s (potential) loss instead of doing any sort of self-reflection as to why people don’t like him or his party.
