Alaska doesn't want to vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump in the 2024 election

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.

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.

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.

Would you like a bread and mayonnaise sandwich or a cyanide and shit taco? You must choose one, and if you don’t, one will be chosen for you.

Idiots:

I am saying this as a huge fan of Alaska Thunderfuck.

I am voting for Biden.

I expect that to change as many people’s votes as Alaska’s announcement did.

Alaska Thunderfuck does a lot of stuff to get attention.

I wonder if people will ever figure out the self fulfilling prophecy they keep perpetuating about how you're not allowed to vote for someone better.

When Trump wins it'll be because you kept knocking down any attempts to support better candidates.

One side is actively making lists of LGBTQ+ people

The other helped give them equal rights.

Both sides are not the same and she should know better.

Well Alaska, not voting for Biden means the fat orange clown wins.
Kiss Democracy BYYYYYYEEEEEEEE!
