damn, sounds like Dems are powerless to stop the ever-advancing march of American fascism, and we should be organizing alternate power structures to protect the most vulnerable around us, rather than hoping they’ll decide to do something useful this time around!
I’m not handing the election to anybody, I get one vote and it’s going to the PSL. You can place the blame for losing on the Dems for running such an absolute dogshit campaign and candidate.
You get one vote and you choose to throw it away (because you’re smart enough to know how the system works and what the stakes are right now) instead of using it in the only way that can meaningfully prevent Worse from beating Bad.
I’m not throwing anything away, I’m voting for the party that most represents my interests! This is the fundamental basis of a democracy! I’m sorry that your candidate is fucking garbage, but there’s no way I’m gonna hold my nose and vote for an octogenarian apartheid lover again. Maybe the party should’ve listened when so many people withheld their vote or voted “uncommitted” that it actually made the news.
Lmao okay :) my wife is trans, every one of my friends is some sort of queer or minority that the government would want to kill, and none of them are voting for biden. It would be cool if libs would stop throwing them around like a political football to deflect blame. Anyways, good luck in November! I guess we’ll see if this “ignoring everyone’s concerns for the future” strategy will work out as good as it did in 2016.

Agreed.
Handing the election to Worse to spite Bad is obviously not the way to make that happen.

The idealism is cute, but that’s not how it works and you know it.
You won’t hold your nose again because you have the luxury of not needing to worry about either possible outcome.

So the company you keep is similarly myopic. What a shocker.
