    The Democrats are digging their own electoral grave. It’s okay to preach about voting Biden on Lemmy, but it won’t count for anything when masses of real world voters decline to vote for him on account of the constant self-harming of the dems.

    A half decent candidate would tank Trump.

      I heard this excuse in 2016 with Hilary.

        Hilary sucked. she just expected to win, like it was her turn. fuck that, bring something to the table instead of just a name. trump won because it was a show for him and idiots ate it up. Hilary played her “better than thou” card and got wrecked.

          Ok, Trumptard. Guaranteed you didn’t listen to a single thing Clinton said in the entire campaign and just listened to “ME TRUMP BEST NUMBER ONE VOTE ME” and you’re now cosplaying as a “Trump followers are idiots” person.

            nah, Hilary was pretty shit candidate. trump was worse, a much shittier person over all, but I’m only one vote. she lost what should have been a free pass with her shit attitude and looking down on everyone.

            but I appreciate your input! 🙂

      Too late to change the system now if you play the voting game. Elect Biden and the rest of the Democrats who will NOT turn the USA into a fascist state in the next four years, THEN start enacting real change to put a genuine Left candidate in that will actually push this country forward when they’re elected in four years.

      If you want to play the voting game, that’s how you play. The only other alternative is revolution and enable the “alter or abolish” option right the fuck now.

      Make your choice of those two things. The “lol, I won’t vote” or “gonna vote Trump anyway” “option” is just alt-right Trumpery disguised as being concerned about a second Biden presidency for any reason.

        You are the kind of Northern racists that MLK Jr dealt with that would say “time will fix this” and that those looking for equality needed to just quiet down and not be a bother.

        Now, is always better than later. Change must happen even if you feel it inconveniences you and that order is more important than justice. You have no idea what the future holds but we have now.

        Some of us are trying to seize a moment to actually make this country worth living in. And it doesn’t involve voting for Trump like your brand of idiots think is the only option. If you are so comfortable that it doesn’t matter to you then get out of the way.
