    Reason number 1: You don’t want to live in a hellish dictatorship.

    You have two options here: vote for an old guy who did some good stuff or actively or passively vote for fascism.

        Then vote for people who think the same or if you live in a state that allows the population to introduce laws start that process.

      I do not care. It’s hell either way. If anything, the only other option besides hellish dictatorship been promised is not as hellish but slower burning dictatorship.

      What ever happen to that student loan forgiveness. Gonna run on that again. Oh I promised last time but this time I pinky promise no take backsies cross my heart.

      Fuck off. Let it burn.

        You do realise that if more people would have voted for democrats, student loan loan forgivness would have been granted?

        But yeah, a society without any social safety net, without rights for minorities, with a stupid state religion and 1000 other horrible things is just as bad as people who in the best case change things and worst case don’t make the US worse.

            No I can’t. But you can’t prove that they wouldn’t either.

            With more democrats DC could be a state for example (Biden approves of that), abortian access could be written in law and student loans could be partially forgiven.
            But unless you vote, we will never know.

            What I know is that Biden DID something about student loans though. For example there is a new repayment plan that does not allow any interest and therefore allows to actually pay off your student loans.
            But yeah, that’s probably norhing acording to you.

        It will be so much worse under fascism. You might not be wild about Biden but if the alternative is fascism…when you say let it burn, that means a lot - and I mean a lot - of people will be harmed, most likely including you.
