"Failure to vote for Biden in a swing state amounts to voting for Trump." In an interview with me, Noam Chomsky compares the #NeverBiden ppl to Communists in the 1930s who refused to ally with social democrats against the Nazis: "We know where that led."

Noam Chomsky on the #NeverBiden Movement on the Left

“You can debate a lot of things, but not arithmetic,” says Noam Chomsky on the #NeverBiden movement. “Failure to vote for Biden in this election in a swing state amounts to voting for Trump.”

I like Ralph Nader, but a lot of people didn’t vote for Gore in 2000 for that reason. Millions of dead Iraqis resulted. Nothing holy or pure there.

More wars were started under Obama's presidency than Bushs, and one of those illegal wars introduced slavery back into Northern Africa. Obama's administration locked children in cages at the border before Trump's did. You all go to sleep under Democrats and ignore the obvious.

GWB did not win, he was selected by the SCOTUS. The counting in Florida was stopped. Democracy failed.

That's not the fault of people that voted for Nader. It's the fault of people that voted for Bush. Saying that voting for a person that didn't win is the same as voting for the person that did is a logical fallacy.

Joe Biden pushed us into the war from the dem side and was pivotal in convincing enough dems to pass it. What were you saying about those Iraqis again?

Blaming 3rd party candidates is inane and anti-democratic. Ralph Nader didn't vote for the war but dozens of Democrats did.

Bush stole that election. Nader had every right to run.

Actually Gore 🤔and the DNC’s capitulation got us that result.

Stop it Marianne. "The lesser of two evils" is a long running blackmail scheme and the result is always worse than before. They have been blackmailing Americans for 60 years. #EnoughIsEnough

Re. Iraq it's conjecture both ways: we don't know what or if Gore would have done differently Re. Nader quote it's why voting isn't enough: we need a movement + institutions; choosing lesser of two evils or organizing a 3rd party vote isn't a debate the left needs to dwell on
