How did ignoring Hillary's flaws in 2016 work out?

Why are you so excited to repeat it?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

LOL, you think just because I'm not in lockstep agreement with your bullshit I'm some sort of neoliberal Hillary fan? Get out of here with that nonsense.

What I understand, but you don't, is that the time for trying to pick a better candidate has ended. The primary is over; Biden is the candidate whether you like it or not. So what the fuck are you trying to accomplish by opposing him at this point? The answer is, for Trump to win. That is the ONLY possible outcome of discouraging people from voting for Biden now.

What was the date of the Democratic National Convention when the candidate is named?

And btw, you're still acting like Biden won't listen to his voting base, but you're acting like the response to that should be voters accepting it. Instead of Biden just supporting the will of his voters over his own personal feelings.

What happened to:

Biden isnt a dictator!

Why did he go around Congress to fund Israel's genocide?

It highlights how all his inaction was bullshit. He could do stuff if he wanted, he just doesn't want the same things as the people he needs to vote for him

And he refuses to compromise with them.

If beating trump is important to you, you're more likely to help by calling Biden out and pulling him left than telling voters that they should shut up and vote for him anyways

That's like telling an angry person "just calm down" while you keep doing something to make them angry intentionally. All it's gonna do is make the other person angrier

And the irony is lost on you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
