    Look, I can’t tell you how to vote, that’s a personal matter.

    But as a veteran I’d sleep a lot more sound with someone who isn’t a clown holding the nuclear launch codes.

    I mean, you do you tho… If I could say anything it’d be to try not to vote on feelings or single issues alone. There’s always another election, unless of course, there’s a literal plan to replace the government and not do that anymore…

      There are so many issues that I oppose Biden on, this isn’t single issue. After betraying the railroad workers, after betraying migrants and refugees, after betraying over-policed and hyper-incarcerated minorities, how can I just accept yet another thing to hate about Biden? When will it end? I will not lay down and let him have his way with me because Trump is worse.

      This is just the red line. Here and no further. If you let Biden do anything he wants to you and beg for more, why would he ever stop?

        At least Biden tolerates dissent and Dems rarely agree on anything entirely.

        Wait till you see what the let’s start an insurrection , have secret service try try to kidnap the vice president, fuckboi has in store for us.

        I won’t lie down because Biden isn’t perfect. So therefore I’ll whore for the person that is worse on the majority of the issues we actually care about?

        At least when it was about Hillary vs Bernie you could appear to be arguing in good faith, that one would be a better choice. Now it just appears as bitter that things won’t be perfect so it should all be burnt down.

        I can’t wait till we can move past both these candidates, but maybe Biden needs to beat trump like a drum one last time before we can vote for someone that isn’t a turd sandwich. Maybe we could push for someone that isn’t old as fuck and has a clue next time?

          You do realize if Trump loses the Republican primaries you’re gonna have to come up with a brand new narrative to explain why we have to vote for Biden right?

            So if Trump lost the Republican primaries that would change the entire calculus. I didn’t say you had to vote for Biden under all possible circumstances. Just that not voting for Biden would be basically voting for Trump (the worse option) because we don’t use ranked choiced voting in this country and due to first past the poll only have two parties.

            You do you though, if you want to be bitter, go for it. But I’d rather be really bitter with the DNC and with Biden than watch a TV star clown dismantle democracy for the lolz.

                I’m going to lecture the idiot that doesn’t understand democracy and doesn’t think voting works, cuz you know, age demographics mean that each one of these election cycles if a few more young people vote things might quickly change. But you don’t want to vote in a real candidate in a primary in 4 years. You just want to cry a river now.

                Go for it. Continue to convince yourself and the kids not to vote and continue to bitch about both sides when you can’t even be bothered to try.
