She is 100% correct. In the primaries vote for your dog or write in your kid if you want. In the big show however, any vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for fascism and at this point almost guarantees that we see at the very least an attempt to install a dictator in the next few decades.
I agree completely.
But the votes don't belong to Biden. He must go and earn them, and if he doesn't, that's his fault. This was the same problem with Hillary. Being "not Trump" is sufficient to get my vote, but it is insufficient to get every vote necessary to win. If he doesn't try harder to earn those votes, then he will lose and it will be his fault, not the voters who refused to support him.
DO NOT FUCK THIS UP AGAIN.
So help me i will invent a time machine, go back and save Harambe and bring him here to run amok amongst you people.
If you don’t vote for Biden you’re supporting trump. It’s dead simple. Forget why, forget what if, just stop it. We will not survive another trump attack. Ok?
Change the system completely when trump is dead. Until then, stop fighting us and help push, goddamit.
I agree, please do not fuck this up again. Hillary and the DNC fucked up big time in 2016, and we all paid a massive price. Biden seems to be fucking up, but I really hope he pulls his shit together for the election.
Now is NOT the time to be pedantic with our vote. It is ALL HANDS ON DECK. If Biden loses, I fear for the livelihood of so many friends and family members. We will not be put to death so ignorantly. A vote for Biden is a vote for keeping the rules of the game in play. A vote for Trump is a vote to destroy the system, game, and any semblance of hope that remains.
I agree with you, and I hope Biden starts doing more to convince people to vote for him. If he doesn't, I'm not going to blame the people who didn't vote for him.
You agree weird
Like how?
He needs to earn them during the primary. If it's him versus trump, everyone who votes for trump or kennedy or a pastafarian is directly responsible if/when trump wins and the right attempts to give us a dictator in the next decades.
I'm all for an alternative to the establishment dems. Problem is that not enough people are out there helping an alternative candidate make their way up the ranks and gain the experience, connections and name recognition to win the big seat.
The above said and to repeat. We need to not let perfect be the enemy of good. We need to collectively bite our tongue and vote Biden because the alternative is going to be 1000x worse than some people seem to imagine.
If I have to decide between 4 more years of moving forward slowly while we repair the damage trump did and the maggats continue to inflict OR the centuries back that trumps masters want to take us along with the economy going to shit again, russia starting ww3, etc. I know which one I will choose. If you or anyone else reading this is still unsure or needs more time to think, not only are you the problem, you aren't someone I want anything to do with.
