Image description: An image macro with two panels. In the first a bunny labeled “BIDEN” is holding a clipboard while looking up to an older woman labeled “VOTER.” In the second panel, the bunny is saying “would you like to keep Trump out of the white house” and it becomes clear that the clipboard, which is obscured from the vision of the older woman, contains the to-do list for an evil plan

I don’t see how I’m supposed to be excited about voting for a guy who’s clearly funded by lobbyists and in turn is paying for the country of Israel to murder innocent Palestinians, amongst other things like ignoring cries for debt relief and socialized medicine and codifying access to abortion

Nobody was "excited" about Biden in 2020 and nobody expects you to be excited now. But the alternative is a guy who will do all of those things you listed (he wouldn't ignore calls to codify abortion access, he'd actively support a national ban) plus dismantle democracy in America and hand Ukraine over to Putin. Unfortunately our electoral system is a first past the post system that perpetuates this two party nightmare and our bizarre electoral college gives Trump an extra advantage.

Lol like any democrat went "yay biden". Same thing with Hilary. Both parties are picking turds.

South Park was always right. Douche and Turd Sandwich

Hold your nose, vote blue, and join a radical militia or shut the fuck up.

You could also join a mutual aid association, or, like, volunteer for actual progressives if you're BORING.

And never, ever miss a primary vote.

I agree with you. But it fucking sucks.

How the fuck do we make things better than this?

Vote in the primaries. Vote for the winner who's least fascist. Yell at them. A lot. Activism in the streets, calling your representative about pending legislation. Donations to organizing groups you agree with There are multiple stages of the process you can get involved with. 1 vote every 4 years is not enough
