Primary vote is when you vote your conscience, general is when you hold your nose and do what needs to be done.
This is a good time to make your voice heard and pressure the current administration.
"NO NO NO! Anything that is not 100% loyalty toward Biden means Trump will win!" - centrists
I wonder why "centrists" are so opposed to Trump in the first place. I feel like they'd actually agree with most of his policies. They'd probably even vote for him if there was a D next to his name.
I don't think that. Even if they agreed with his policies he's a boor and an idiot. Dude suggested they nuke a hurricane, and then drew on a map because it disagreed with something he said earlier.
Trump doesn't have any policies. He's a narcissist who spills incoherent word vomit full of dreams of nothing but vengeance.
said no centrist ever.
also, again, primary.
I remember the Michigan primary and a lot of centrists said that
They were really running 24/7 ops trying to cudgel Uncommitted voters from what I remember.
Yep. Now is the time to express your choice to change local politics and influence those who vote on the national platform.
Or here me out, if the current president is aiding in one genocide, prevening another war from ending, and has done absolutly nothing to better my material conditions or the material conditions of my fellows in the working class, and contenues the genocide in cuba. Every campain promise has been broken, they just do not get my vote at all. Like in what world would you say that he earned your vote to give him a second term
There's no point on Biden's planks where his policies align with my views. Why would I vote for someone who 0% represents me?
I would have no idea. I think we should and apparently this is a revolutionary idea, not ... vote... for him
The world where America has a two party system and the other candidate is openly fascist and awful?
Also... "Every campaign promise broken" is such hyperbole that I have to think that you're either a troll or just ignorant. Whenever people say stuff like this they never provide examples or they conveniently ignore all the places where a campaign promise WAS kept, or is in the works.

Until we can reform our voting system to something like ranked choice, approval voting, or STAR, we have a two party system with one party generally maintaining the status quo with some nice social progress and the other party actively trying to make people's lives worse. That second party loves this shit and maybe you should consider why so many of their efforts are about trying to convince people not to vote.
Been hearing this exact same argument since my first time voting for Obama, right out of high school. Literally nothing has changed. I don't see how voting unconditionally for somebody is going to convince them to change their ways. If anything, it's telling them that everything they're doing is okay.
I really hope this is the election where the Dems realize dismissing everyone to their left and expecting them to vote for you anyways is not a winning strategy. Biden is sleepwalking into a devastating loss and nobody is doing anything to correct course.
