    He didn’t. They are gaslighting you now trying to make it seem like this was the plan all along. People hate Trump and they unite behind that and end up voting blue no matter who. They’ll end up in this mess time and time again though until people make Democrats change else stop voting for them. You don’t help someone addicted to drugs by giving them money everytime they ask.

      but not voting or voting red means actively Supporting fascism. on one side you had an old guy who was visibly getting older and on the other side you have a almost comically evil group of persons who want nothing more than to make life more miserable for all people on earth but themselves

      the choice should be obvious

          Ridiculous attempt at false equivalence

            I’d honestly be interested to see a cohorent argument as to why the first two aren’t true if not voting is. I can’t think of one.

            The last one I threw in there for fun.

          Is this you 13 days ago?

          So many people here who have spent months bitching about Biden being the candidate can’t take five minutes to enjoy him stepping down from the election.

          You got what you wanted.

            And I support Harris?

            “Not voting is voting for the other side” is completely ineffectual as a slogan, since the type of person likely to not vote is going to immediately file it away in their brain as the obvious hyperbole-bordering-on-lie it is.

            What’s your point?

              I told you my point: take a minute and be happy you got what you wanted before moving on to being miserable about the next, related, thing.

                But I’m not miserable about Harris? I just told you that.

                Or are you trying to say that making any comments that don’t end with a string of 🎉 emojis is off the table for the next 3 to 5 working days ?

                I get that maybe you misinterpreted my comment as anti-harris, since I didn’t bother to make my specific stance clear and kind of threw it out there, but I’ve now clarified.

                Why are you doubling down now? Just to try and retroactively justify some unnecessary receipt pulling?

                🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

                  You’re not, you’re miserable about something else instead. Specifically, people suggesting that voter apathy helps Trump. Or at least you acted in a pretty miserable way.

                    Okay so the emoji thing. Not allowed to criticise anything? What a strange and unique lens to view the world through.

                    “Voter apathy helps Trump” has a lot of baked in context that makes it kind-of-true when “You not voting helps Trump” just objectively isn’t.

                    I must say though, I wasn’t miserable when i made that comment, and now that you have received the initial thing you were looking for (or confirmation that you had it all along), I expect to see nothing but positivity from you for the next week.
