The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.

You fucked yourself over by not showing up at the polls 6 years ago at the numbers needed to keep Trump out of office.
Voting (and not voting) has consequences. You fucked around, then you found out.
(to be clear, I am using the generic “you” here, not trying to beat up on OP)
Yup. When your choice is between boring, middle-of-the-road corporatist and 100% concentrated evil, you must choose the less-destructive candidate for the good of the nation, even if they don’t “do it” for you.
Trump won because people fell asleep, didn’t care and Hilary was unlikable. Let’s just hope that next year they keep that in mind when the polls open.
They thought Hillary was unlikable, so instead let’s let a corrupt fascist win… brilliant!1!!
I’d like to think the American people have learned their lesson, but let’s be honest, we never learn.
Through recession and boom, war and peace, pandemic and climate change, there is one constant in this modern world… Americans will never learn from their past.
Hilary was unlikable, but I think to many people so was Trump. The difference was that in 2016 Hilary was associated with old school, status quo politics. Her campaign didn’t really understand that there was (and still is) a large part of the voting population that wanted/wants change. Trump just happen to pick up on that sentiment which helped him pull people off the couch to vote.
This isn’t strictly true. People did show up to vote for Hillary, but not in electorally advantageous locations. Let’s not forget that she won the popular vote, it just wasn’t enough.
That’s like saying a team shot the most free-throws in a sport like basketball where the winner is the one who scored the most points. Or in football, having the most minutes of possession, but not scoring enough points.
The metric to winning is rather clear. Whether it is football, basketball or winning the White House.
You don’t get enough people out there across the country to win the EC and you lose. Period. So yeah, it is indeed strictly true.
