    Meanwhile, all the MAGA trolls can do is focus on how bad Biden came off. Dude is a fossil, true- but I’d vote for a fossilized fossil of a fossilized fossil before I’d throw away a vote and allow America to be led by a fascist.

    Also… everyone take note on how all the bots are out today trying to persuade everyone not to vote. This shit is fuel for them. Call them out!

    VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT- BECAUSE THEY DO.

      If our lives depending on it then you would agree that a younger and more capable candidate should replace Biden then, right?

        I mean yeah, most of the people that hang out here didn’t want him to be the candidate to begin with. But that has little to do with who you’d vote for given these options.

          So when so much is at risk, you’d want a viable option on your side, right?

            It kinda sounds like you’re standing ready to assassinate the democratic candidate and you’re just waiting for my approval to pull the trigger. What exactly is your point?

        What a shit take when so much is at stake for so many people. Stop being selfish man. Do this for those that ABSOLUTELY will suffer under Trump.

        Or be blamed for everthing he does.

          So if you want to protect these people then you absolutely would want a younger, more electable candidate to beat trump, right?

              You really are going full obtuse here, huh? You dont understand what’s at stake at all, do you? Biden failed miserably at THE ONE FUCKING JOB HE DELIBERATELY SET THIS DEBATE UP TO DO. Everyone saw it. EVERYONE.

                Right… and not voting is getting new and improved and faster genocide- and a fuck-ton more of it. Talk about full-obtuse. Is that what you really wan bigger and better genocide? I’m pretty sure we both know the answer.

                It’s pretty clear what you’re up to.

                    I did.

                    It’s what this entire discussion is about. You see, despite your weak attempts to distract from the point, I stayed on it the entire time. And just so you know for future reference in the even that you’d like to try it again, I am used to discussing these topics with people that like to build straw men.

                    And tell me, how would I be a Putin bot if I’m fighting to negate the fake “far left” troll’s that are urging people to not vote against their interests? I’m pretty certain you won’t find any “Putin bots” that are urging people to vote against Trump.

                    You seem to be all over the place here. Maybe collect your stuff, leave, and return when you can put together a coherent and streamlined argument.

            This logical fallacy is called “Denying the Correlative”. It’s basically the opposite of a False Dilemma. In this electoral system, there are two statistically relevant choices: supporting Biden OR supporting Trump. Right-wing voters are consistent, making voting third-party or withholding one’s vote mathematically equivalent to supporting Trump.

            It sucks and it’s bullshit but disliking reality does not make it any less true.

              You are just plain old dead wrong, and the one pushing a fallacy (i.e.fakse dichotomy) is you. The THIRD and most logical and reasonable choice is for Biden to step aside and let a viable candidate represent the Democrats.

              I cant help but notice that you and the other guy keep deliberately avoiding that one.

                I don’t have the power to control someone else’s actions, just my own. If you do have the ability, you certainly could help quite a bit. However, for myself and any other human that I’ve interacted with in my life, the choice is binary in this. It’s a FPTP system and the far-right winning would be unlikely to lead to anything but increased levels of suffering.

                  And they definitely have an astronomically higher chance of winning with Biden at the top of the ticket. I notice you ignored that part entirely.

                    Erm what?..

                    I don’t recall you mentioning that, apologies if I missed it. My main point has been that, unless things change, there are literally two choices under the electoral system that is available.

                    Can we try to pressure the DNC? Yes. Is replacing Biden on the ballot or an option that most voters can choose? No. Political parties in the US are considered private entities with no obligation to pay attention to voters.
