Shaming people into voting for a genocidal liar is not democracy or freedom.

Reject electoralism, embrace revolution.

    At this point I’m convinced that the Democrats are actively trying to lose.

    Like unironically.

      The ideal situation for democrats is losing elections.

      They get to concede gracefully and then claim the moral high ground without anybody expecting them to do anything.

      And then fundraise by saying they would totally be better on all these issues if they were just in power, please nobody bring up what they did last time they had power.

    This is what I say to libs. DEMOCRATS are the ones who are risking it all because they’re stuck trying to win back the “white working class” blue dogs than appeal to a growing progressive movement. I said it before, but now is a good time to begin calling the bluffs of your lib friends. They probably swear up and down they are progressive people, they believe rightoid lies that we are a tiny fringe and we need to keep moving more and more to the right so we can be non-threatening to the normies. Look at all the union victories for example (there’s your working class). They should stop worrying about what republicans think, and start worrying what non-voters think, and even then, stop imagining the working class non-voter as grillman who will run crying to the GOP at any given opportunity.

      Always curious to see the vote-share of the party in power fade away, as history of the rival administration slips down the memory hole.

      Its almost as though these guys aren’t actually delivering anything productive or beneficial to the public at-large. They just exist as tulpas of the romanticized past - Republicans of America’s unquestionable global hegemony and Democrats of our briefly socialized and planned economy - held up as fetish-wards against the reality of a chronically dysfunctional and incongruent modern government.

      How exactly is Biden supposed to appeal to voters, anyway? He’s a creature of the insurance industry and of Wall Street, jumped all the way up into the highest echelons of power in a time when these industries don’t need anyone to protect them. All he knows how to do is pop pills, smoke Hunter’s weed, lay around, bomb brown people, get new veneers, suck jill’s clit, take selfies, talk shit on Twitter, eat hot chips, and lie.

      It’ll be his fault for explicitly telling his base to fuck off.

      He has actively worked to alienate anybody who gives a shit about: unions, the environment, Trans rights, abortion, or not doing genocide.

      Which leaves him with a voting block of chuds who think he’s the communist antichrist.

    Yup

    Biden could stop sending aid to Isreal today and win the election by 10 points.

    The fact he’s not doing it is him explicitly saying he cares more about doing a genocide than winning the election.

    I’m not voting for anybody carrying out a genocide, if that’s too high a bar for the democratic nominee to clear, that is exclusively the democrats problem not mine.

    Someone pointed out recently that Biden is probably still resentful of Obama telling him not to run in 2016 to let Hillary have a turn, and ever since then I can only imagine Biden as a petulant child that refuses to eat his vegetables.

    I swear to God our government is just a nursing home full of dementia patients who think they’re still in high school.
