They waited until practically the last second, and up until that last second you people were hounding every single person that called for Biden to keep his one term promise constantly saying he was firnfr office and obviously wasn't too old or too ill or too unpopular. You don't get to rewrite that history.

Trump proved his was unfit during his first term, but yet he's run twice with full support. And I could see him running a third if he fails now.

That's nice dear, we were talking about Biden. Whabtaboutism is popular amongst you conservatives, I know, but do try to be on track.

I think that's more a testament to how unlikeable trump is that people would rather vote for a sentient ham sandwich than that decroded piece of crap.

Did you also not read all the posts leading up to that on how fucked we were with Biden as the candidate? Nobody was idolizing him.

[-] eacapesamsara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That was the point I was making, thanks.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

And those posts were often at the top of the upvotes, so what are you complaining about?

[-] eacapesamsara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

They really weren't. You're misremembering again so you'd be on the right side of history, like clinton voters that totally didn't rally against Sanders voters.

I voted Uncommitted in the primary, so no, you can fuck off with your assumptions.

Congrats on your performative nonsense if you were never committed to actually following through.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

And yet here we are with Biden off the ballot. How did that happen?

Idk if he's firnfr office or if he's covfefe office and idc. Regardless, he's not running and no one is idolizing him 🤷‍♂️ Trying to say anyone on the left is more undeservedly worshipped than Trump is just downright hilarious.

How is that idolizing him? That's being strategic and fighting against Trump winning the election. There wasn't a massive cult movement of people wearing Biden hats and decorating their pickup trucks with 100s of Biden stickers. Biden doesn't have a personality cult. A lot of people who voted and would have voted for him don't actually really like him. Still, they realize the importance of not letting Trump win.

You're missing the point. Good attempt trying to play "BuT bOtH SiDeS" when it's the most clear and obvious thing that idolizing a candidate is a largely problem on just one side.
