At this point i feels like it's all republican trying to do a psyop telling people not to vote.
Why can't we just express our disgust with the situation we're in without being called a psyop? I'm going to vote for Biden. I'm still pissed that this is where we're at. People were saying he was too old in the primaries before the last election and the Dems still shoved him down our throats and they're going to do it again. It's fucking bullshit. At the very least we need a candidate that's young enough that they're going to have to live with the consequences of their decsisions
Then save the issues until we're sure we still have democracy.
No, you motherfuckers have been telling me to keep my opinions to myself since the last election and I'm sick of it. If he can't get enough votes to win that's on the Dems for running him in the first place. Fuck you and fuck them. It's long past time to stop blaming the fucking republicans for the mess we're in and actually push back. Maybe if he actually used that power the supreme court just handed him my opinion would change but he's already admitted he's too much of a pussy to do anything with it.
MLK Jr was right. The worst people are the ones who are comfortable where they are and want to stop any change they see happening because it might inconvenience their idea of reality. They'll let the actual enemy win just to make sure they don't have to hear how they are involved in their own downfall.
You're describing conservatives. Get on the Dem train if you're being. Honest with yourself.
Yeah I'm describing white liberals which mostly call themselves Democrats without reaching to their larger voting base of the actual working class.
It's gone. You ain't had that in years. The reichstag already happened, yall just catching on 20 years late cause the mask is now longer necessary.
Damn. I thought cultish thought-stopping was something we didn't really have very far left of (what the U.S. calls) center. Would you like to see Democrats comparing Biden to Jesus like the MAGA crowd does Trump? The day the Democratic party becomes just as much of a cult as the Republican party is the day we have two literally fascist parties to choose between rather than a fascist party and still-a-major-win-for-the-fascists-but-at-least-not-quite-as-bad party.
Unless something completely unexpected (like a third party candidate actually having a chance of winning) happens between now and November, I'm voting blue no matter who in the general election. I think everyone else in the U.S. should as well, and I'll tell them that. But nobody is served by liberals (and lefties) deluding themselves into thinking our choice is between anything other than two unequal evils.
What's your reasoning here? Are you hoping that if you and I lie and say Biden's going to fix everything, it'll get more people to vote blue than if we tell them to vote for the lesser evil (which, to be clear, is the candidate with the D next to their name)? Because I really think the case could be made that the opposite is true. Or do you really think Biden is a perfect, infallable candidate?
That happened already
