"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.

Sorry, Marianne. You have to be willing to not vote for them or they'll never EVER respect your demands. I predict Biden will give lip service to #Med4All, with absolutely no commitment to it. *Coughs Obama, subtly*

Their respect or lack of respect isn’t predicated on our votes one way or the other. That’s definitely a problem, I give you that, but it’s not one that gets fixed by not voting.

How else do we fix that? Only weapon left to us is protesting. Not voting is a protest. Bernie not being nominee is proof that the US political system is beyond repair. It needs to be destroyed. The sooner the better. THAT'S big picture thinking. Acting on fear of Trump is NOT.

No one knows better than I the tough game those people play, the lengths they’ll go to get rid of an inconvenient person. But we have to deal with the most critical issue first: making sure Trump doesn’t win. What will we do then? Not sure. But we must take care of 1st things 1st

It's not about not voting, it's about showing our vote matters. The DNC has used and abused progressive voters long enough. It's time to show we don't have to vote for their candidate, it's time to vote green.

Yes, it is a problem, but here we are. This is like deciding between a bad choice and an even worse choice. THAT'S the reality we find ourself in; despite all our efforts to date.

Or building something to replace them. There are a billion choices it actually saddens me to see their poison seep into you Marianne. I wish I could reach you with my vibes of love just to talk. I fully understand where you are at true is true and love all the way.
