Isn't it the incumbent's job to court votes through their actions in office? Seems like his own fault if Biden can't win.
Side note, I'm so fucking tired of this dance every two years.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

No it's actually the voters fault if he loses, because it's their responsibility to elect someone who they do not want elected <- Actual current discourse on twitter, libs need to be institutionalised
The party cannot fail the voters, only the voters can fail the party
Voting. For. Someone. Does. Not. Mean. You. Endorse. Their. Actions.
It. Does. Mean. You. Endorse. The. Things. They. Say. They. Will. Do. That's. How. This. Shit. Works.
if you vote for holden bloodfeast after he says "vote for me and i'll bomb Iran" then everyone who's brain hasn't been destroyed by lead poisoning is going to think you want to bomb Iran
or at least that you don't feel strongly about not bombing iran
Mango Mussolini is worse than Genocide Joedolf
"Genocide Joe" is such a good nickname, it sounds like some anime villain shit
Genocide Jack/Jill!
A different tweet
Just like there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, there is no ethical voting under a two-party imperialist capitalist state. The only thing you can do is choose the least bad option at every opportunity you get. And sometimes that means voting for bad people

My favorite bit right now is quoting founding documents at Americans.
That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
And what do we know about consent, folks? It’s sure as hell not, “if you don’t say no, you’re consenting”.
willy nilly use of scare quotes. it's not purity to reject the death machine, it's having any principles at all.
Sure is convenient that the genocide being committed by the "better" freak is the one that they aren't directly impacted by.
My interpretation of this knee jerk reaction from the libs is that I think both major parties supporting Israel even though they have lost the pr war and canot hide their genocide anymore is confronting libs with the contradiction betwin what they have been told all their lives, that they live in a democracy and all that, and the absence of actual choice, but they don't want to recognize that their "democracy" is a scam so they are coping by saying that it's a moral duty to vote for the "lesser evil".
yeah I fucking will because at least he's funny
