I've keep being put into a position where I have to further my consideration in voting for Biden.

He's the strongest the Democrats can muster, we can't have any one else (but please don't criticize him, he's incredibly weak, a strong breeze will knock him over). Hes the best option we've got to stop a Palestinian genocice (oh except earlier today he vetoed a vote via the UN that could have stopped the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people). But we have to vote Biden because Trump would probably be worse (even though, you know, Biden is the one right now supporting the genocide. not hypothetical).

If you think this delusional policy is defensible, right here right now, you are part of the problem.

NO right wing voter is going to support Biden. PERIOD. NONE. You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left. Literally every Democratic victory in 60 fucking years have happened that way. But yeah, keep pursuing these genocidal right of Rumsfield positions, Democrats. I"m sure you'll find that center once you have cripwalked past Cheny's undead beating heart of evil.

THe entire last decade of political progress made by progressives has been lost because of this idiot.

No you don't. Because you have 2 options: Biden or Trump. If you are considering Trump as a legitimate pick, then just say you're a fascist and save everyone time.

You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left.

Despite what the internet says, most of America is not that progressive. Else we'd have more progressive candidates down ballot. People love to bitch and whine about how there's no good options. Well that's because America is pretty conservative on a lot of issues. It's not like there's this giant leap from left-leaning to far-right fascists. It's a huge spectrum. People not wanting to recognize this is why we get posts like this.

If America was truly as progressive as some people thought, a third party could sweep the Democrats with a popular progressive candidate. Unfortunately that's just not the case. But it is changing. Albeit slowly.

So get out there and campaign or run for office. Because this kind of grandstanding only creates voter apathy.
