Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.
“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,” she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “A second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban.”
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Biden’s 2024 campaign, also said she wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to the protest vote.
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who is the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, urged Democrats last week to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan’s 27 February primary.

So, according to both Reddit and Lemmy, we need to be a ONE political party system, where we vote on ONE type of President every election... that's called communism.
Communism is a system of communally owned property (as opposed to private property) and a distribution of resources summarized as "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need."
What you're describing is called a "one-party state." Does what it says on the tin. Some attempts at communism have been one-party systems, but, being an economic system rather than a political one, communism is easily compatible with a wide variety of political systems.
Nah, that's just Lemmy. Reddit wants there to be 100000 political parties and ranked choice voting.
Who's saying that? How are single party states a left wing thing? For every communist totalitarian there have been many right wing totalitarians, not to mention royalty. Right wing media is lying to you. Question this shit.
This entire sub is saying not to vote for Trump because "democracy will end!" Which we all know is bullshit. Democracy will go on. It's a scare tactic from the Left. Everyone around here is basically saying that we should only support a Democrat President. That's supporting one party, one person. Americans are very diverse, we need different candidates with different perspectives.
It's not about Democratic vs Republican, it's specifically about Trump. In order for you to think that democracy would be safe with a Trump presidency, you would have to ignore Trump himself. Of course Trump.p is a moron who doesn't understand a word he says. If he can't be taken seriously then he shouldn't be president, and if you can then he definitely shouldn't be president.
