You do realize Trump was already president, right? And that our current president is literally funding a genocide?
The fear mongering doesn't work. Field better candidates that can actually win elections against convicted felons and you don't run into this issue.
Found one!
Candidate so unpopular they're neck and neck with literally the worst president in the countries history.
Candidate's diehard supporters when their guy loses: "surely this isn't my candidates fault for alienating the bulk of his base while supporting a far-right fascist genocide. This must be the fault of the Democratic base!"
Give me a break. Neolibs only have themselves to blame if Biden can't win against the single most beatable opponent in history.
Fear and threats don't work anymore, you guys have got to actually allow non-conservative candidates out there or Dems will just keep losing. Most of the Democratic base is not going to vote for a Reagan Republican in Dem clothing.

So you'll get a literal tyrant who already wanted to execute his OWN STAFF, who encourage the police to brutalize BLM protestors, who gleefully chortles about sexually assaulting women... Who plans on installing himself as President for Life, with his children to follow.
Congratulations, you really showed them!
Dude, it's a party politics problem really, compounded by corrupt electoral bullshit like the electoral college, gerrymanderind and malapportionment. The two party nominees at any election have never been the parties' best and/or brightest.
If it's a foregone conclusion then you can't get upset at people not voting.
I don't get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.
If you don’t vote then you don’t get to complain about the outcome.
Biden' is popular with people who actually follow the real news, instead of China's and Putin's pervasive psyops disinformation.
Save that energy for the primaries.
Idiots were saying the same exact thing during the primaries. They're saying it right now as AIPAC pours millions into races to unseat democrats using Republican money.
Also, you know, the Dem primary in my state was literally canceled this year so there's that.
I'll go ahead and send the message in the general since that's the choice neolibs left me. If they don't like it then they need to not field unelectable conservative candidates.
OK, I remember being 19 lol
Do you realize that if Trump becomes president again, his people have made absolutely no secret about their plans for seriously ramping up the ongoing trans genocide?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_genocide#United_States
And now it's your time to either downplay and/or deny that genocide or pretend it isn't happening or that Trump won't make it worse. Anything but actually admit there's at least one kind of people whose genocide won't bother you.
But please, do surprise me on this front.
ThEyrE aLL the sAmE
Lol
You do realize that former president Trump was such a strong ally of Israel (since he let his zionist son-in-law run it) that they named a new settlement on stolen land after him, right? And that he's never shown the least bit of interest in helping the Palestinians, right? And that his mid-east peace plan was normalization of relations between other Middle East states and Israel, right? Do you think Trump is going to take a stand against Israel if he gets elected? Honestly, what do you expect for him to do to the Palestinians? Send better bombs to kill them with? Stop pressuring Israel for a ceasefire or aid deliveries so that more Palestinians die from war or starvation? Please do share how you think Trump will end the genocide.
And here’s one right here!
Go back to /pol, chud. Don’t forget to pray to your Nick Fuentes altar first
Said trump troll replies to comment warning people to be on the lookout for trump trolls
It's laughable and you remind me of the other types of trolls that name starts with v
The problem with this argument is this very article, which is also backed up by interviews with John Kelly, Bill Barr, and others. Everyone verifies that that Trump wanted to do all the crazy stuff from prosecuting Hillary to executing former members of his administration for speaking out against him, but they'd just delay until he'd get distracted and move on to something else. Again, these are people who eagerly signed up to work for Trump, and changed their mind based on their experience with him.
This next time around though, Trump will try to hire people who are more likely to be yes-men. What happens then?
LMAO, way to expose yourself. Tagged for life.
