Candidate so unpopular they’re neck and neck with literally the worst president in the countries history.
Candidate’s diehard supporters when their guy loses: “surely this isn’t my candidates fault for alienating the bulk of his base while supporting a far-right fascist genocide. This must be the fault of the Democratic base!”
Give me a break. Neolibs only have themselves to blame if Biden can’t win against the single most beatable opponent in history.
Fear and threats don’t work anymore, you guys have got to actually allow non-conservative candidates out there or Dems will just keep losing. Most of the Democratic base is not going to vote for a Reagan Republican in Dem clothing.
So you’ll get a literal tyrant who already wanted to execute his OWN STAFF, who encourage the police to brutalize BLM protestors, who gleefully chortles about sexually assaulting women… Who plans on installing himself as President for Life, with his children to follow.
This is probably a joke, but it doesn’t work because shielding your adult children from the consequences of their own actions does not show you care about them.
Dude, it’s a party politics problem really, compounded by corrupt electoral bullshit like the electoral college, gerrymanderind and malapportionment. The two party nominees at any election have never been the parties’ best and/or brightest.
I don’t get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.
Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn’t read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you’re an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)
There was no primary this year. The democrats managed to cancel them in a bunch of states even though Biden would’ve easily sailed through against the democratic candidates (uncommitted beat both of them combined where that was an option).
I was speaking down ballot or during another potus election cycle. I obviously didnt mean to, literally, save that energy for hypothetical elections that would have already happened.
Also, not having a POTUS primary when there is no challenger and an incumbent isn’t as big of a deal. Tactically, it’s just bad optics with no tangible benefit. It’s definitely something immature people pout about though.
My bigger point is. I agree with the opinion being communicated but there is no pathway to action on those ideas right now. That energy is for the primaries but its fighting yesterday’s battles. I’m not defending the DNC but its Biden vs Trump, thats just reality. Time to clean your diaper.
Idiots were saying the same exact thing during the primaries. They’re saying it right now as AIPAC pours millions into races to unseat democrats using Republican money.
Also, you know, the Dem primary in my state was literally canceled this year so there’s that.
I’ll go ahead and send the message in the general since that’s the choice neolibs left me. If they don’t like it then they need to not field unelectable conservative candidates.
Lol sure thing. I’m not making a statement on ideology at all. Just your maturity on expecting a right now solution and the futility of your method of protest voting.
Found one!
I would upvote but you have 69 so I’ll just say “nice.”

Congratulations, you really showed them!
Say what you will about Joe Biden, but he very clearly doesn’t give a shit about his kids.
That’s why Biden’s got my vote.

If Hunter had been acquitted they’d just be saying his dad rigged the trial
Is that the new /pol talking point? 😂

If it’s a foregone conclusion then you can’t get upset at people not voting.

If you don’t vote then you don’t get to complain about the outcome.
wrong. I don’t lose my freedoms due to a false dichotomy
I just wish one day one of you guys would say that shit when I’m around.
What, “I don’t support starving children to death”?
Biden’ is popular with people who actually follow the real news, instead of China’s and Putin’s pervasive psyops disinformation.

Save that energy for the primaries.
There was no primary this year. The democrats managed to cancel them in a bunch of states even though Biden would’ve easily sailed through against the democratic candidates (uncommitted beat both of them combined where that was an option).

OK, I remember being 19 lol
Ah the old right-wing “You’ll become more conservative as you get older” trope.
Havent seen that old chestnut in a while. Really gives away the allegiance here…

Yes. You are making an ideological statement. The cognitive dissonance just makes you uncomfortable

That first sentence does a great job describing the rest of the comment.
