You call me sanctimonious, you suggest I support voter suppression yet you are happy to support a candidate who many believe rigged the Green Party primaries to ensure he would be victorious. But let's turn a blind eye to that because it doesn't fit in with your anti-Biden narrative.
I never followed the Green Party's primaries, so it's impossible to turn a blind eye to something I wasn't aware of.
But yes, I just read that some members of the Green Party allege that their primaries were rigged. If that's true, I obviously think that is wrong. Primaries should be fair and democratic across the board. That said, I'd likely vote for Joe Biden knowing that the Dems rigged the primaries in his favor if that were the extent of their guilt. Unfortunately, my anti-Biden narrative runs much deeper than that. It includes Biden's support for wars, mass incarceration, work with segregationists, and support for the Patriot Act.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, political parties cannot in good conscience participate in a presidential campaign which has even the slightest chance of helping return Donald Trump to the White House.
But that's not how democracy is supposed to work. Any party should receive ballot access if they meet the signature threshold, and they shouldn't be denied access over a trivial error. People like myself deserve the right to vote for a platform we support, as opposed to having to choose between varying degrees of right wing trash we despise.
Personally speaking, I wouldn't vote at all If the Green Party wasn't on the ballot in my state. Third party supporters and non voters are tired of being taken advantage of.
You say I support a racist but I don't know who you mean by that. Trump is the racist and I expect he will continue encouraging neo-confederates, white supremacists, and outright Nazis.
If you "don't know who I mean by that," you either didn't read this article I shared with you, or you've convinced yourself that racism is only bad when it comes from Trump.
Here's the article once again:
Will Black Voters Still Love Biden When They Remember Who He Was?
Trump is corruption, hate, and an ecological catastrophe. That is why Trump must be stopped. Replacing Trump with Biden won't end racism, sexism, and policies that favour the rich at the expense of everyone else, but that fight is for the future, first Trump must go.
I love how Biden supporters admit nothing will change and say "that fight is for the future," yet they still believe replacing Trump with Biden is a moral imperative. When Biden supporters say "that fight is for the future," they're denying the urgency of our situation. They're also enabling Biden's inaction. The truth is the Democrats don't want to end wars, racism, sexism, or policies that favor the rich at the expense of everyone else anymore than Trump does. They've made that very clear by their positions and their coalition with neocons. Yes, Trump needs to go. Unfortunately, Joe Biden is also corruption, hate, and an ecological catastrophe. Those are facts his supporters refuse to face.
Biden supports corporate money influencing politicians and has deep ties to Wall Street. He wants to gut vital social safety nets that would hurt vulnerable Americans, and he places the for-profit health insurance industry above the health of the American People. He has blood on his hands with all of the wars he's supported, he helped militarize the police and incarcerate black people, he supported the Patriot Act which led to illegal spying on Americans, and he recently said he refuses to ban fracking. He's also taken Trump's stance against "rioters and looters," rather than addressing the root cause of the problem. So yes, Biden is just as corrupt and hateful as Trump in his own right.
