    You think the conservatives won’t start a war with Iran?

    That makes both side “unelectable”. So you scratch that off for both sides and keep looking for other differences. Like separation of church and state and reproductive rights.

      No one said they wouldn’t.

      Biden will lose enough votes to lose the election if he starts a war with Iran. No one here said they would be voting for Trump, just that Biden would lose votes.

        When you don’t vote, you essentially give your vote to the person you want the least; that’s fundamental to FPTP. It doesn’t matter if you don’t directly vote for Trump in the current political system, what matters is you didn’t vote for Biden.

        You can try to change the voting system, but while you’re in it this is the way to play. Vote Biden in and protest the shit out of his day to day.

          And I didn’t say I’m not voting. I’m voting for Biden.

          I said Biden will lose votes if he starts a war with Iran. I did not say “Gee, I want another smug centrist to ignore what I’m saying and lecture me about shit I already know!”

          Centrists don’t listen.
