omg bruh Biden definitely won that debate, Trump was being such an idiot the whole time 😂😂
I read about the debates. I heard Trump got interrupted much more than Biden did.

I don’t know who to pick for president, but for the Senate, I would vote Republican no matter where I go. I hope they maintain control of the Senate while the Democrats get booted from the House. Clearly, a divided Congress is not good for our country, and a Democrat-controlled Congress isn’t good for any country as long as they embrace socialism or persecute Christians in favor of sinful behaviors. I also won’t vote for any party that is willing to defund the police and take away guns from people who defend themselves against criminals. So you can see where my vote goes.
 
As a U.S. citizen that doesn't get a vote, this makes me a lil sad. But it is what it is this election time. 🤧
Yeah I mean I'd prefer feel the Bern or anyone else, but tbf I'd vote for Biden cause he's the saner option here and I think it's one goddamn duty to vote especially with this ****ed system in the US

BASICALLY. It's either vote for the person that hates minorities or vote for the slightly less evil person.

when have christians been persecuted LMAO. you mean people wanting religious orgs to pay taxes?

I'm not voting for either of them. Both parties are full of loonies.

I understand not liking either party, but voter apathy is the worst thing to have here. As a PoC who worries about the well-being of myself and my community, it really saddens me that people aren't even willing to vote here. so many things rely on this election, not just one president. I agree that there's so many things wrong with the current system, but not voting is the worst way to go about it. that's just complacency

I never said I wasn't voting. I just said I'm not voting for Trump or Biden.
 
technically there is never truly a year to vote third party. but I'm doing it anyways. that's one less vote for him.
it seems your location is in Ohio, that's a very important state for the election. alternatively, you can see this as one less vote against him. that's a good chance trump wins that state because not enough people voting for his only viable opponent

presdiential third party voting doesnt work in a two party system
 
I really don't want to vote for either. I don't support the republicans or democrats. historically sure, third party voting doesn't seem to work in a two party system, but I would like to be part of the change.
 
in brazil we got the 18-25 people to vote for a third party on the election that bolsonaro was running

and i mean like we did mad marketing for ciro (the third party candidate) bc the left party was roasted by media and fake news so we thought third party was the best choice

here is the thing: the left party was too popular so what actually happened was like 50% bolsonaro 25% left 25% third party

tldr u cant change the two party system period

just by voting

@xSuperMario64x i stole this from discord
 
How about religion learns to cope with the existence of LGBT people and learns no you should not have mass gatherings in a PANDEMIC.

Religion CONSTANTLY wants the benefits of government (getting taxpayer funded scholarships like in Espinoza v. Montana or taxpayer funded grants like in Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer) but god ****ing forbid they be asked to treat other people with respect.

yeah, like there could have been someone other than biden but making a change here is sadly voting for him and yeah considering ohio.. yeah.

think they've been doing mostly online services here also unless they could do it outside with proper distance during summer. also they do radio broadcasts as well iirc.
 
People don't seek permission to burn buildings and riot; they just do it.

I feel this is a good time to point out that we won't hesitate to lock this thread if it gets out of hand.
 
Yeah, I’ll probably stop here, but I would like to know what Columbus has to do with George Floyd. Won’t count on the other questions being answered since I already know about them. I did want to point out that they should not allow these protests to occur if they’re going to restrict or inhibit mass gatherings, even after they took lockdown protests seriously.
 
I agree that mass gatherings isn’t acceptable during a pandemic, but if someone is going to condemn mass gatherings, they should also condemn the George Floyd protests (except online ones) for violating social distancing rules. Why is it not acceptable for people to do what they want in public, yet acceptable to burn buildings and assault other human beings in large mobs? This is hypocrisy. If reality had its way (and if the pandemic is over or hasn’t even started), large gatherings would be considered acceptable, but people who participated in the riots would be charged for terrorism. Also, some of the decisions done during the George Floyd protests don’t make sense. What does Christopher Columbus have to do with George Floyd? Why is being neutral or indifferent considered evil? Why would they be protesting this long rather than for two weeks like they did in Ferguson? To me, these riots have nothing to do with George Floyd. Not anymore.

Well now you've decided to pivot into distracting about the riots and that's just not gonna fly. Don't change the topic.

Let's focus on the churches who have been demanding that they get to be open.

Sure the riots are a thing. I don't like that they're rioting during a pandemic. BUT. There's a few differing factors.

1. The rioters are outdoors, not indoors. Indoors is where the virus spreads easier because of air droplets. Those can dissipate easier outdoors.

2. The rioters are not filing lawsuits demanding to be open. The churches are. The rioters are breaking the law in some regards. You know who else does? Churches. There have been reports of churches opening with no measures in place. And then people have gotten sick.

3. I notice you didn't bring up the "anti-mask/re-open" riots. Interesting.
 
yeah, like there could have been someone other than biden but making a change here is sadly voting for him and yeah considering ohio.. yeah.
yeah unfortunately it is true that Ohio is a swing state and it could mean the difference between Biden or Trump winning. there really is no getting around it but the two-party system is very irritating to me, especially since in recent years it seems like we've had to choose between "the lesser of two evils."

I may reconsider my vote, I'll have to delve a little more into the realms of politics since this is the first year that I've really truly begun to think for myself and pay attention to what's going on in the grand political scheme (might be kinda late since I'm 21, prob should've been paying attention earlier but tbh it was all overwhelming for my ASD mind before). But I can assure that I am most definitely not voting for Trump.


also can we have a moment of silence for the fact that both of my parents are complete supporters of Trump and I've had to put up with their bs for four years now? I kinda hope that Biden wins just so I can hear them say "okay it's the end of the world, let's move to a different country" lol.
