He will not get my vote in the primary (which Biden will likely win), but I'm still voting for him in the General, because if he loses, I know for certain I will not be better off when Republicans inevitably enact the policies entailed in Project 2025.
ETA: Unless by some miracle he loses the primary, in which case, I will be voting for the not-fascist.
Much appreciated. I've started taking some time to read over Project 2025. It's truly terrifying, not just for the US but for the world.
Cannot access the article, but the headline sounds like it’s a financial outcome. I find that to be a highly dubious premise. Surely there is more to life than “having more money”?
If you're barely scraping by, having less money can significantly affect quality of life, or at least percieved quality of life.
It’s like the old quote (I’ll completely fuck up I am sure) but nobody appreciates just how expensive it is to be poor.
Currently I'm worse off because of all the construction on numerous infrastructure projects in my city. But I'll be much better off when they're done. Unfortunately, it will take some time to realize the gains of some of the larger bills that were passed.
I don't mind not being better off when the alternative is fascism. I'd prefer to be better off, but I'll take status quo.
Congrats, you have chosen fascism.
So all the choices are fascism and the only way to win is not to play? Yeah, no thanks, I'll keep voting, thank you very much, and I will keep voting AGAINST the fascists, even when the alternative is mediocrity.
Keep voting. Just don't vote for the slow fascist, nor the fast fascist. It's easy and literally the least you can do.
