As an outspoken drag performer and member of the LGBTQ+ community, Alaska is not afraid to show her distaste for the two leading candidates.
In fact, she hopes another person steps forward and makes an effort to win the election over Biden and Trump.
“This election should be making a lot of people nervous,” she says. “I hope that someone steps forward for the Democratic party or at least for the people who are sane and who want the world to be a better place and who want America to not be a piece of s***.”
Not voting or voting third party is letting other people decide.
Biden is a bad candidate. He’s too old and supports genocide in Palestine.
Trump is not fit for office. He’s too ols. He’s mentally deranged. He supports genocide in Palestine, fascism in USA, NATO being at war with Russia etc etc.
Voting least bad is a poor choice to make but there is a very clear answer.
US bipartisanship has ruined the country’s political landscape, imagine living in a democracy and considering voting for someone else than the two big names is not a good vote
It’s the same in the UK. I live in Australia, having moved from Ireland and living in the UK. It blows their mind when I talk about PR, yet we have it here in the Senate.
That’s not bipartisanship, it’s first past the post voting. You either vote for one of the big two, or you’re taking a vote away from the one of the big two you’d prefer to win, making the one you want to win less, more likely to win. Is it fucked? Better believe it. Does it need to change? Aw hell yes. Do we have to work within the system while it’s still the system? Yes. Yes we do.
Biden exists to give you a not-trump option.
As a non US, it was amazing not hearing how bad your president was for 5 minutes… then we got how bad the ex pres was.
