    Vote for this one person to save democracy or go fuck yourself.

    Sounds like a really healthy democracy you’ve got there. 🙄

    Anyway, the reason we’re in this position is because everyone who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries is a complete asshole who intentionally fucked over progressive and leftist efforts. Now they’re mad we won’t show up for him in the general? Get fucked.

      Nobody is saying that we have a healthy democracy. In fact, just the opposite: they are pointing out that we do not and that is why we are on such thin ice.

        And yet, when it came time to select the Democrat nominee millions of people were like “I know we’re on thin ice but I’m still going to vote for the procorporate trash candidate.”

        People who voted for Biden in the primaries are fucking assholes.

          That’s more of a DNC decision. It’s traditional for both parties to run their incumbent candidate because the incumbent usually wins.

            Bernie was buy-and-large the most popular candidate in 2016. Mainstream media all but refused to put him on air(He was bad for business, i.e. for millionaires/billionaire executives). The DNC completely fucked us when they still elected to put Hillary on the ballot; even with the GOP colluding with the FBI to investigate her, whether or not that was legitimate is irrelevant. The DNC fucked us. And yet… Like others have said, our democracy is currently so fragile that we have no real other choice other than to vote D straight down the ballot.

            The only other possible option would be for a major of the country to write-in the same person in the primary election and then for that person to register as an official candidate and then run in the general election and win. The vast majority of states require a candidate to be registered for them to be a write-in. And good fucking luck convincing a majority of this country to agree on one person. Personally, if that were to happen I would proudly write-in Jon Stewart.

            Biden hasn’t been that bad. Not bad enough to risk never getting to vote again.

                  It’s so ridiculous. I’ll vote for him because I think it’s currently the best option of two entire options in a very broken system, but we really need to do something to get rid of “vote blue no matter who” because it’s goddamn ridiculous. It’s like careening wildly from one side of the highway to the other while screaming “this is fine!”

                  I’m all for election reform. I think it’s our only way out of this.

                    That’s never going to happen because procorporate trash like Biden will never allow it and procorporate trash is who voters in the 2020 primaries keep selecting because they’re actively fighting progressives and leftists. Then they turn around and want to act like we’re on the same side in the general. It’s pathetic.

              First time?

              A) The incumbent party always runs the sitting president if they are eligible for another term. That’s not rigging, it’s literally how it works.

              B) Yes, the DNC rigs the primaries. Did you already forget when the DNC forced Hillary on us in 2016? Hell, if you’re asking that question than you obviously already forgot 2016, so of course you don’t even remember 2020.

              C) For someone with such strong opinions, you don’t seem to know much about the process. Seriously, is this your first time paying attention? Or is this your first time as an eligible voter?

              In all of your comments, I’ve yet to see you propose a solution to prevent the end of our democracy. Just complaining it’s not enough of a democracy.

                    No I’m not. That’s the point. There were reasonable compromises to be made during the 2020 primaries. Those compromises were intentionally rejected by people who are now angry that I won’t show up to vote. People who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries are worthless and selfish.

                Welcome to Democracy. You aren’t entitled to my vote. If you need it then make better choices in the primaries. If you don’t need my vote continue voting for procorporate trash and then crying when they lose in the general election.

      “democracy is on life support”… yeah… didn’t say this was healthy. Thanks for demonstrating the problem with binary zero sum game thinking. You’re not grounded in reality if you can’t see we’re on life support. You don’t give a dying person meth and have them run a marathon. You hold on for dear life.

      And fwiw wrt primaries… I voted against him. I voted against Hillary. I even voted against Pelosi for being too conservative. You’re fighting your comrades and the movement and that’s why you’re in the wrong and you don’t mean anything. Your politics and intellectualism mean nothing with the barrel of a gun between your eyes. Get your head out of your ass and vote against fascism. Or be a baby and have my friends and family killed in a few years. But I should get fucked. Thanks comrade. I’ll think about this comment looking out the window of the train at my kid for the last time. I’ll forever remember your vote, when I work to death in that mine, picturing my child screaming and crying the last time they see me.
