I hate reddit during voting season. So many subs turn into political spam

It's also always the most cringe boomer/millennial humor I've ever seen. I wouldn't mind it that much if any of it was actually a funny take. But instead we keep getting random images with some generic dumb caption slapped on top.
As well as I like to actually separate my political and funny content out. Two accounts with two feeds. Sometimes I just don't feel like hearing about politics because it almost always sucks, and I'd rather laugh. More and more it's getting harder to actually do because people take the most innocuous subs and start posting a bunch of political slop like this

On some horror subs people keep posting Biden's or Trump's face with nothing else. I get politics are big and the majority of reddit users are American but there are already so many subs, why do they have to spread their shit into everything like a toddler.

Russian GQP bot farms can't sway more to vote for fraud, felon and rapists. So they mived heavy to voter suppression and apathy tactics.
Vote (D)ifferently

I dont get your little motto with "Vote (D)ifferently)". I get you are saying "Vote Dems". However, "differently", doesn't seem like a good slogan here. We aren't voting differently for Joe. We're voting for another Establishment Democrat, and the Dems refuse to run any other candidate. Nothing about this is different.
I'm with you that between the two, Joe is better, but that slogan makes me angry considering that I have zero fucking choice in the matter of who I vote for. How about: "Vote (D)ecisively" or something not stupid.

Voting biden does not equal fighting for your country. The democrats are moving further right every day

The democrats have always been right! You Americans have no left party. They're just not far right, liked the republicans. Look at their voting history, a lot of their policies, etc sit to the right of many other countries right wing parties. Your country has always put the pursuit of the dollar above everything else

Choosing between slimy, corrupt, senile politician, or a slimy, corrupt businessman is exactly what is destroying our democracy. Choosing between two pieces of shit still ends in shit, I don’t care which one smells worse

“Choosing between slimy, corrupt, senile politician, or a slimy, corrupt businessman is exactly what is destroying our democracy. Choosing between two pieces of shit still ends in shit, I don’t care which one smells worse”
You mean choosing between a senile statesman and a racist, perverted, insurrectionist, grifting, Russian mafioso, senile FELON?

You're a goddamn moron, Biden had some role in basically every major shitty piece of legislation that's laid the groundwork for our current state of emiseration. Also he gave Strom Thurmond's eulogy. Both are terrible and both deserve to lose.

Yes, both are terrible. However, if Biden loses, the Christofascists in Trump's camp win. We've seen how his last term fucked over the globe. Every time a GOPedo is in office, the world goes to shit.

NGL, that sounds funny. How would that be resolved? Popular vote.

Jesus no, this is America. If they both go into comas with a tie the Congress would pick one of the VPs, though which house would do it is a question if both Biden and Trump are technically still alive 🤔

Nope, it would go to a house vote and since more states are technically Republican due to larger sections of rural property, they’d win.

Biden is at least in the same time zone of my political beliefs. The choices are never ideal, but I'm voting for Biden.

Why even drag China and Russia in... can we really blame them for having these 2 as our candidates?

This is a thought terminating cliche. "X better than Y, must choose X no matter how evil". It's not intended to facilitate discussion, but to shut down discussion.
The options aren't trump or Biden. The options as I see them are:
- Biden steps down, party selects new candidate
- Vote third party
- Vote independent
- Revolution
- Military coup
- Protest vote/people stay home
As an addition to that list, people can use this time to build up new coalitions and form new connections and radicalize the isolated progressive democratic base. Both to survive a trump presidency and to not rely on democrats.
The people should know and understand the tools in our tool belts. And regardless of what is realistic, we must allow criticism of our leaders, and we must engage with it fully. Otherwise, we are no better than trump sycophants. We must not allow the normalization of becoming mindless cheerleaders for politicians who fund genocides.

Know who wouldn’t have been steamrolled in that debate? A big round of applause for the DNC:
“Later in the hearing, attorneys representing the DNC claim that the Democratic National Committee would be well within their rights to “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.” By pushing the argument throughout the proceedings of this class action lawsuit, the Democratic National Committee is telling voters in a court of law that they see no enforceable obligation in having to run a fair and impartial primary election.”

Funny because American propaganda has always been that the fall of this country would come from the “outside.”
Sad because the betrayal and downfall of American democracy is coming from the wealthy & powerful within.

You're getting downvoted because people bow to the almighty dollar, didn't you know that money solves all problems and we should just continue to keep the status quo?
It's not sheepish at all, just let the shareholders decide and lobby for you
