Way better than trump, he will ruin us even further than he already did, did you know he actually did actually rig the election with Hillary, he is convicted of it too
Bidenās biggest crime is being old, thereās a whole book of reasons not to vote for Trump, Bidenās annoying sometimes, Trump is a literal threat to this countries existence
For sure, now a lot of project 2025 is stuff that canāt actually be implemented due to how closely contested congress is and they wouldnāt actually be able to fully do a lot of whatās in there, but even inviting the possibility of it is unwise. They canāt do a lot of what they say theyāll do because thatās simply not how the US government works, but why invite it at all
uh huh. just because you happen to "be related" to someone who is "mixed" does not mean you are paying attention to what African Americans are saying when it comes to politics. i just wish americans would approach this topic with rationality, context, and the desire to work for a system that helps folks of all colors.
RFK Jr. I don't know everything about the guy or anything, but from what I do know, and with the fact that I'd really like to own a house someday, I'm voting RFK. Unless something big changes, he should be a very safe, very good vote. You can watch him answer the questions that were asked in the recent debate (notice I say asked not answered š) at therealdebate.com or on Twitter. You can mostly decide from that whether you think he's a good candidate or not, and vote accordingly. Btw, his voice is due to a condition. He knows, he hates it too, just stick with it and see if you like him regardless of it.
Downside is the bipartisan system makes it nearly impossible for a third party to receive enough votes to come out ahead- the system didn't even let RFKJr into the debates because he didn't pull enough in the primaries
Neither did trump or Biden. Actually, the only qualification that he didn't end up having was the "need (241 or something) potential electoral votes through being on enough ballots, but NOBODY is on the ballots yet. Not even Trump and Biden qualified to be on that stage.
As for the bipartisan system, the only reason a 3rd party "can't" win is because we rhe people don't perceive him as able to. That said, I think he really could. He's actually beating both Biden and Trump for voters under 35 right now. If we vote for rfk, he may not win. That's a sad fact. But even still?
There is a light, and it would be foolish of us not to reach for it, regardless of how fleeting it may be.
RFK can win a debate against those two. Eventually, he'll have the chance.
Either way, I refuse to vote between 2 evils, just because it's hard to obtain something better.
I want to own a house and have a family someday. I can't afford to do that until the housing market is fixed. RFK wants to fix it, T&B don't care about it at all.
I honestly agree with you, excepting the point of voting between two evils. Realistically, the ultimate outcome of RFK running successfully will be to pull voters from Biden or Trump, effectively giving them to the other. One of those "illusions of choice" situations, at least in respect to a vote for RFK actually being for him as an end result.
In that respect, I'm partial to voting and supporting ranked choice voting any and every time I can. It's the only way we're ever going to see a 3+ party system where independents are more than a creative method of self-imposed voter suppression. Just about every independent in the last few decades has been the ideal choice, and with any luck we'll establish a system that supports them outside of some catastrophic situation that rules out either of the two big parties beyond those we've already seen.
That said, I fully support your stance, intent, and mentality in this, friend. :)
I know! It's...crazy. Ridiculous. Then again, the state of this country and the people that run it are basically elected clowns. Although saying that is an injustice to hard working clowns.
Harambe and DeezNutz got enough votes to tip the electoral votes in a couple states by taking away from one candidate or another :( people will totally do it
Please, please don't throw away your vote. Yes, our two main candidates are trash. If you don't know who to vote for, do the research and figure out the lesser of the two evils.
Fun fact: gen z and millennials make up over 40% of the US population. If everyone voted, real change could happen. We'll never see change if we waste our votes on memes.
And if you insist of not voting for a presidential candidate, at least participate in voting for your local leaders and policies.
I just want to drop "Project 2025" since no one has mentioned it. If you are undecided who to vote for, that should hopefully clear things up one way or another.
For a minute, I forgot that America has an election coming up as well and had to figure out why people would be voting for Mark as Prime Minister this week... to be fair though, I'd much rather have him in charge of the UK than anyone else on our ballot! XD
What baffles me the most, as a US citizen, is that a convicted felon is not ineligible to run for president. If I remember correctly, literally the only requirements are being a citizen, having lived in the country for 10 years, and being over 35.
Not necessarily. For all we are aware of, he knows absolutely nothing about politics. Being president is more than just sitting in a chair and barking orders
That's not really the point, though. None of them are good candidates. Mark doesn't have the credentials. Trump is just evil, and Biden has dementia. Don't vote for any of them. Use your vote on a 3rd party runner. At least if enough people vote, they have a chance.
Who else is there to vote for? And in our broken nation, does our vote even matter? I say we should just do whatever the hell we want at this point, presidency is just one big joke š
EDIT: Please stop replying to my comment with politics. I donāt care, and I was joking.
Yes but this is exactly the sort of voter apathy that Trump and the Republicans are counting on. Please vote against the fascist, even if the opposing candidate has issues. šš½
Agreed. While one individual vote may not make a difference in the outcome, a large crowd with that mindset could absolutely influence an election. And that goes for anyone who voters may write-in, not just Mark.
You're choice is one old stuttering man who is actually trying to unite the country, vs an old convicted felon, rapist, accused child rapist, who tried to over throw the government because he lost and called nazis and kkk good people...yep both disgusting...
To be completely honest with you, Biden is further contributing to the polarization of the political parties, which really isn't contributing to uniting the country.
And for the record, biden has also been accused of sexual misconduct. Granted, not as much as Trump, but there are allegations out there.
I don't think either one of these people are what America needs, but good lord I do not want another four years under trump, especially now that the Supreme Court is thinking about not fully punishing him for his crimes.
Still don't like Biden tho.
Okay. Unless we are able to get ranked choice voting, then yes that effectively wastes your vote as well since the written in candidate wonāt win.
Itās very depressing that we effectively have a two party system but thatās our reality. And there is much at stake this election cycle seeing what has occurred with the supreme court rulings.
I live in a state with ranked choice so I'd really rather put anyone above Biden, but I'll still vote for biden additionally. as much as it disgusts me to do so
yeah i live in a state with ranked choice which means if my first choice doesnt win, my second choice will get my vote. if second doesnt, then third gets my vote, and so on. so im voting for mark first and biden second. or maybe jasmine sherman second. my vote is almost certainly gonna end up with biden tho. i aint throwing my vote away
Honestly I wasnāt gonna vote anyways, so Mark can have it lol. š
If I donāt have even a sliver of confidence in either party Iām not gonna choose ya know?
We have to do everything we can to stop a re-run of 1930a Germany. Vote for Biden, even if he is supporting Israel. Trump is doing that as well as civil rights reform (project 2025 )
He is a felon, who wants to āstartā his presidency with full power. This is what Hitler did in the early 1930s. Also, would the founding fathers have wanted a president with full immunity?
Even tho neither candidate is great it isnāt that simple, please educate yourself a little, google project 2025 and youāll find all you need to know about why Trump needs to be kept out of office by any means necessary
Thatās what I'm trying to say though, neither of them is āthe best option.ā So, essentially, it doesn't matter because weāll be fucked either way.
Vote for Biden, and maybe, just maybe trump will drag his carcass away from our country, and Biden might make things a bit worse, but if you vote for trump. He will do exactly what Hitler did in 1933.
You know what would be hilarious, though, in a fatalistic kind of way? If the DNC finally learned a goddamn lesson by seeing a bunch of write-in votes for a Youtuber.
I mean if you want the convicted felon to cause more lasting impacts (like how he nominated supreme court judges that overturned Roe v Wade, criminalized homelessness, and overturning Chevron) then be my guest š.
Hear hear. Be sure to vote for one of the old men who don't have to worry about the longterm consequences of their actions as president. Vote well spent.
Ok. Learn to communicate correctly.
Biden is a career politician. He does not care. The sooner you accept this, the sooner the state of our country will begin to make sense.

Who should I vote for then šš
Biden ig idfk š
Way better than trump, he will ruin us even further than he already did, did you know he actually did actually rig the election with Hillary, he is convicted of it too
I sincerely hope the people reading this understand how untrue every word of it is.
Oh America š
We're fubernucked anyway
Fr š
SO *FLYYYYYYYYY*
Bro cannot be serious
what a valid response š
Guys guys guys, letās keep the politics off this subreddit, ākay?
Bidenās biggest crime is being old, thereās a whole book of reasons not to vote for Trump, Bidenās annoying sometimes, Trump is a literal threat to this countries existence
Not just Trump himself, but his supporters and their plans as well. Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation are terrifying
For sure, now a lot of project 2025 is stuff that canāt actually be implemented due to how closely contested congress is and they wouldnāt actually be able to fully do a lot of whatās in there, but even inviting the possibility of it is unwise. They canāt do a lot of what they say theyāll do because thatās simply not how the US government works, but why invite it at all
Biden's biggest crime is funding genocide
Well, if Biden croaks in office, we have Kamala
Facts thatās probably the best way
independent!
Sonic T. Hedgehog
President jimble
At this point flip a coin it cant get worse
let me guess...you don't know any African American folks....
My sisters mixed, I grew up in the hood and I literally live in Detroit.
uh huh. just because you happen to "be related" to someone who is "mixed" does not mean you are paying attention to what African Americans are saying when it comes to politics. i just wish americans would approach this topic with rationality, context, and the desire to work for a system that helps folks of all colors.

You may be the first person to nicely comment and add to the discussion like this (in reference to US politics, specifically in the last decade) š
Agreed š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do some research on the circumstances of his ex wife's suicide and why she did it. And how rfk treated her. It's horrific
Robert F Kennedy Jr! A well known environmentalist and activist!
š Oh my god. I actually hadn't considered people throwing their votes away for a stupid joke. And you just know it happens.
It happened with Harambe
I know! It's...crazy. Ridiculous. Then again, the state of this country and the people that run it are basically elected clowns. Although saying that is an injustice to hard working clowns.
There were literally people voting for Harambe at one point. Donāt give people so much credit.
Tbf every candidates a joke
Less and less people vote each year bc of how stupid the presidents get and im scared for the outcome in the future
Harambe and DeezNutz got enough votes to tip the electoral votes in a couple states by taking away from one candidate or another :( people will totally do it
You act like the election isnāt a joke already. Voting for either candidate is just a nonsensical.
Please, please don't throw away your vote. Yes, our two main candidates are trash. If you don't know who to vote for, do the research and figure out the lesser of the two evils. Fun fact: gen z and millennials make up over 40% of the US population. If everyone voted, real change could happen. We'll never see change if we waste our votes on memes. And if you insist of not voting for a presidential candidate, at least participate in voting for your local leaders and policies.
Love this. Not pushing one party or the other, just pushing people to do their part. Cheers to you, Lamp.
Yep, I think it's important for people to form their own opinions and do research into what they are voting for.
I just want to drop "Project 2025" since no one has mentioned it. If you are undecided who to vote for, that should hopefully clear things up one way or another.
So if we ALL vote for Markiplier he could actually be elected.
That math ain't mathing lol, we just need Mark to legitimately run in the next election :)
Trump managed to win in 2016, im sure we can push Markimoo into the big chair.
I feel that Mark would decline. It would get in the way of Iron Lung 2
Trumps been a major power player in politics for years tho
Mark's a power player in culture and now the movie industry
Thats true. That was enough to get plenty of others elected. Still worrisome
NO! he is NOT a registered candidate, so you'll be throwing your vote away.
yes so many things will change, just as they have been for the past 30 years.
I'm serious, please don't actually vote for him
You canāt stop me (Iām not even from the US)
For a minute, I forgot that America has an election coming up as well and had to figure out why people would be voting for Mark as Prime Minister this week... to be fair though, I'd much rather have him in charge of the UK than anyone else on our ballot! XD
Idk man. Niko Omilana looks like he'd be pretty good.
I'd apply for English citizenship just to vote for him
Is the joke youāre talking about the two candidates currently running or voting for Mark?
Yes
Donāt worry I wont! Would be kinda hard to vote for American president in New Zealand
hard, but not impossible
How do you figure š¤Ø
where there's a will, there's a way
Iāll get right on thatš«”šŗšø
For real! We can not lose to another joke vote!
I do what I want (Iām Canadian)
I donāt think heās actually running, but I could be wrong.
You can still vote for people who don't run
I learn something new everyday.
Yep. You can write in any name you want.
Would it count as legitimate? Edit: ok I really didn't think this through.
You can, but it won't count unless the name you write is a registered candidate
Your vote will not count unless the candidate you write in is registered
Vote for what?
Upcoming presidential elections for the US
Lol. Mark being the president would be so awesome and I would be so jealous of the USA. But only if he has the experience or is comfortable with it.
One could dream,right?š
I'm honestly surprised he would even MENTION wanting to be elected because he's "old enough to be president"
Nuh I will (Iām not an American)
I like Mark, but I would only vote for him if I liked the policy he proposes.
wait, in the US you can actually vote for someone who isn't running? it isnt a checkbox ballot? you can just, like... write whoever the hell you want?
Write in votes only count if the person is a registered candidate
ah, that makes more sense, i was baffled
Yes, though if somehow that person won they would be perfectly within their rights to say no thanks. It just has to be their legal name.
wow! thats absolutely wild. every new thing i learn about the US political system baffles me.
What baffles me the most, as a US citizen, is that a convicted felon is not ineligible to run for president. If I remember correctly, literally the only requirements are being a citizen, having lived in the country for 10 years, and being over 35.
But its not a joke... He would be a better president than both trump and biden combined
Not necessarily. For all we are aware of, he knows absolutely nothing about politics. Being president is more than just sitting in a chair and barking orders
Look at trump and biden... Both arguing like little kids on a playground, one is a senile man and the other is a criminal
That's not really the point, though. None of them are good candidates. Mark doesn't have the credentials. Trump is just evil, and Biden has dementia. Don't vote for any of them. Use your vote on a 3rd party runner. At least if enough people vote, they have a chance.

Yes but this is exactly the sort of voter apathy that Trump and the Republicans are counting on. Please vote against the fascist, even if the opposing candidate has issues. šš½
It does matter, 100% vote for Biden, Iāll take old over old and evil anyday
If you're willing to risk fascism over your feelings of a system, then that says more about you than our democracy.
Guys please I was just joking, itās going to be okay. I promise.
I mean your not wrong š
They did with Boris Johnson...
Would he tho?
I imagine he wouldnāt want to be president either.
Wait, can you just vote for ANYONE in the USA? The person doesn't have to like register as a presidential candidate or something?
They do have to be registered for a write in vote to count
he's better than what we have now #markiplier2024
if voting changed anything, they would make it illegal
I wanna vote for mark LOSERR [cant vote . Lives in a colony]
Wait.. is he actually running??
Just learned you can vote for anybody whether they're running or not. Edit: This is not true. Your vote will be invalidated.
No you can not. Your vote will not count unless they are a registered candidate
Oh really? Thanks for telling me.
Vote for who you want (or don't vote). Freedom, right?
That's enough reddit for me for today...
Than we should vote for Darkipler
Agreed. While one individual vote may not make a difference in the outcome, a large crowd with that mindset could absolutely influence an election. And that goes for anyone who voters may write-in, not just Mark.
I would vote for him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You're choice is one old stuttering man who is actually trying to unite the country, vs an old convicted felon, rapist, accused child rapist, who tried to over throw the government because he lost and called nazis and kkk good people...yep both disgusting...

Still don't like Biden tho.
Is he actually running? I was pretty sure it was a joke
You can still write in someoneās name* when you vote, but that effectively wastes your vote.
Didnāt realize that good to know
It's only a waste if you vote for someone who isn't a registered candidate
Writing in someoneās name would imply that they arenāt a registered candidate.
There are some registered candidates that aren't on the ballots but a vote will be counted for them if their name is written in
Okay. Unless we are able to get ranked choice voting, then yes that effectively wastes your vote as well since the written in candidate wonāt win. Itās very depressing that we effectively have a two party system but thatās our reality. And there is much at stake this election cycle seeing what has occurred with the supreme court rulings.
I live in a state with ranked choice so I'd really rather put anyone above Biden, but I'll still vote for biden additionally. as much as it disgusts me to do so
With trump you get a re-run of the 1930s-40s
yeah i live in a state with ranked choice which means if my first choice doesnt win, my second choice will get my vote. if second doesnt, then third gets my vote, and so on. so im voting for mark first and biden second. or maybe jasmine sherman second. my vote is almost certainly gonna end up with biden tho. i aint throwing my vote away
Damn, well there goes my plan
Can he still run though?
better than our other options
I'm going to vote for msrk
I'm voting for Biden because if he dies while in office, we'll have our first, black, female president!
At this point Iām ether voting for Mark or cornel west. Biden lost my vote when he sent money and weapons to Israel.
Itās better than voting for Hitler 2.0 (seriously heās doing the same thing hitler did in the 30ās)
... looking at trump or biden are you sure its possible to not vote for a joke?
These comments are proof we are doomed. Yall truly cannot think.
Womp womp I'm voting for him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām throwing away my vote either way, Iād rather it be on a joke then nothing
Honestly I wasnāt gonna vote anyways, so Mark can have it lol. š If I donāt have even a sliver of confidence in either party Iām not gonna choose ya know?
Vote for an old man who dedicated his life to this or an old man who is a criminal?
voting is a waste of time. itās been known. maybe with voter ID it wonāt be
We have to do everything we can to stop a re-run of 1930a Germany. Vote for Biden, even if he is supporting Israel. Trump is doing that as well as civil rights reform (project 2025 )
heās not gonna win dude trust me. iām voting for mark fischbach. he will lead us to victory
Vote Trump insteadš
He is a felon, who wants to āstartā his presidency with full power. This is what Hitler did in the early 1930s. Also, would the founding fathers have wanted a president with full immunity?
GUYS IF YOU DONT LIKE BIDEN OR TRUMP VOTE RFK JR
Bro I'm not voting for either of the two most hated men in America
On e in a criminal, and the other is kinda old use some critical thinking here.
Tbf every candidate is a joke
At least one isnāt actively trying to erode what democracy this country has left
Democracy, damn no one told you, democracyās gone bro
Eroded yeah, gone no, why intentionally erode it further
Because I hate all of the candidates policies and they have proven themselves in the past to be deceptiveĀ
Ok, then make the choice easier, the one who might be lying and leading a country toward facism, or the one who is proudly and openly trying to do it
Even tho neither candidate is great it isnāt that simple, please educate yourself a little, google project 2025 and youāll find all you need to know about why Trump needs to be kept out of office by any means necessary
Bro wtf, I live in Tanzania lol
Flip a coin
Itās either I vote for him or don't vote at all. Itās not like the actual candidates are any good anywayā¦
It doesn't matter if none are 'good'. It matters that you vote for the best option.
Thatās what I'm trying to say though, neither of them is āthe best option.ā So, essentially, it doesn't matter because weāll be fucked either way.
I'm surprised this post isn't locked yet tbh
Vote for Biden, and maybe, just maybe trump will drag his carcass away from our country, and Biden might make things a bit worse, but if you vote for trump. He will do exactly what Hitler did in 1933.
What are we voting for?
You know what would be hilarious, though, in a fatalistic kind of way? If the DNC finally learned a goddamn lesson by seeing a bunch of write-in votes for a Youtuber.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean if you want the convicted felon to cause more lasting impacts (like how he nominated supreme court judges that overturned Roe v Wade, criminalized homelessness, and overturning Chevron) then be my guest š.
I would rather have a person with a stutter who won't make my life harder than a felon who will
Iām voting mark
Hear hear. Be sure to vote for one of the old men who don't have to worry about the longterm consequences of their actions as president. Vote well spent.
Biden does care tho?
Are you asking me or telling me?
Telling
Ok. Learn to communicate correctly. Biden is a career politician. He does not care. The sooner you accept this, the sooner the state of our country will begin to make sense.
Theres literally no point of voting anymore in the first place why not
If you vote for Biden, the country just might pull itself together, think about it. If you vote trump, you might as well not vote.
