    You’re gonna catch a lot of shit from people who don’t like the idea that this is the political calculus of many people whose votes Democrats consider themselves entitled to receive, regardless of what positions Democrats hold and what policies they implement.

    These people have never considered for a fraction of an instant that votes are something politicians earn, not demand, and are insulted by the vile blasphemy that “not Trump, I guess” isn’t some people’s exclusive criterion for evaluating a candidate.

      This is a blatant straw man. You’re labelling me “these people” and saying I “never considered for a fraction of an instant that votes are something politicians earn,” etc., which is an utter falsehood. I’m entirely aware of Biden’s record, the legislation he has supported, the legislation he’s been able to get passed, and his foreign policy. No, I do not agree with him 100% of the time, but yes, I agree with him probably 80% of the time, and hell yes he’s earned my vote. If anything, he’s overperformed from my expectations when he took office.

      Fuck your “holier than thou” attitude like you have access to some special information. You’re a fucking fool on the internet like the rest of us. Have some goddamn humility

        This is a blatant straw man.

        It’s an accurate prediction. He has caught a lot of shit.

        You’re labelling me

        If you don’t consider yourself entitled to dictate how others vote, then I’m not talking about you.

        If you do, then I absolutely am talking about you in perfectly accurate terms. And considering that a hit dog will holler…
