Perfect time to teach Biden a lesson by not voting for him -- or so I've been told by those with too much privilege and not enough brainpower.
I'm voting for Biden to stave off Jerry Lewis Hitler, as I did last cycle and Clinton before.
That said, a lot of Biden enthusiasts need to stop with the "you also need to say you like him and his politics" crap.
No one should feel enthused about always getting wildly varying degrees of bad as the only choice, merely afraid. At this point we're voting whether to keep the water pumps on as Titanic sinks to buy a little time instead of declaring the water at our waist "fake."
Vote to keep the pumps on, sure, but it helps nothing to pretend our rigged capitalist hellscape, that neoliberals and fascists alike declare as "the only way," isn't eating the itself and us and defended by both parties far above the people (we will take every measure to protect our beloved ~~society~~ economy! Here Fed, I'm sure you'll ensure these relief funds trickle down after private shareholders get plenty of relief, of course), while it continues wrecking the planet for a few more short term cash grabs before the owners fly off to their prepared havens, con complete. Nox.
A vote for Biden is a vote for us to not add state sponsored scapegoating, persecution, and ending bodily autonomy to our doom in motion like a cherry. Yes let's do that(edit: meaning vote for Biden if unclear)...

...but don't delude yourself into believing it's any kind of salvation.
Why, are there very many evangelical democrats that need reminding?
I just want a functional fucking government

That's certainly not a significantly pervasive mindset -- at least not around here. The general sentiment is "hold your nose and vote for him anyways".
No one is saying you have to be enthused. They're saying you have to pretend to be enthused. Because the strategy of "I'm going to tell everyone I hate this guy so I don't loose any cool points with my friends who the maturity of 16 year olds" is a losing one for you and minorities and LGBT people and women and basically everyone you're fucking over.
What's great about this is that the lack of awareness and strategy practically guarantees that far left will never rule in the US.
What sucks about is that since vote margins are always razor thin, saying things like that might very well put Larry the Fascist Guy back to power.
They're all over the fucking place here. It's wild. They're almost for certain foreign cointelpro.
I do think theyre making perfect be the enemy of, well not exactly good, but in this case the better option, but Im not so sure theyre foreign ops. If you were running a campaign like that, wouldnt you want to concentrate your messaging on the places where the greatest number of people would be to see it, or at least a lot of people? Lemmy is certainly not immune to influence campaigns, Id bet it might even be more vulnerable than most given the lack of central control that might try to inhibit one, but its also currently incredibly small and obscure as far as social networks go. Would it really be considered worth the resources, to such a campaign, in its current state?
Agreed. They're dangerous and privileged -- it really doesn't need to be more complicated than that.
Haha, yeah nothing to see here.
There was a point in 2016 when the bernouts started spouting on about how they were now voting for Trump. It's the exact same situation. They will disingenuously demand something that is not feasible then they will show their true colors while acting like they didn't intend on voting Trump from the get go.
For the love of god don't fall for it again.
