    Do not vote for Joe Biden. You do not have to pick between two parties whose platforms are genocide. Vote third party in the national and don’t support the genocide.

      You’re speaking to an audience of, optimistically, 500,000 people on a relatively obscure platform that is by proportion less American than most other social media platforms this size.

      If literally everyone who could vote saw you say “don’t vote Biden” and did exactly that, you’d make so little difference that you’d be actively contributing to the spoiler effect.

      You know, that thing that handed Trump the 2016 election?

      So fuck you. Fuck this system for being so shitty, but fuck you for advocating the only thing that would make things worse.

        Clinton and her hubris handed Trump the election. Spoiler is a myth liberals create for themselves to try and vote shame. Earn our fucking votes or they can fuck off.

          Nothing to do with Russian interference either?

          According to the special counsel investigation’s Mueller Report (officially named “Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election”),[42] the first method of Russian interference used the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Kremlin-linked troll farm, to wage “a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton”.[43] The Internet Research Agency also sought to “provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States”.[44]

          The tactic was always to also shit as much on the competition as possible. They literally hacked her emails to do so.

          There is no doubt that the same thing is happening again right now.

          Can Biden be criticized for his behavior? Sure! Are bad faith actors piggybacking on this situation and amplifying the “Genocide Joe”-narrative ? Absolutely.
