    It’s bizarre… the only “choice” voters had that would place pressure on Biden was being able to abstain from voting. But noooo, we need to rob people of that only pressure card they have because a bigger evil is looming in the distance.

    Biden is the one who is helping Trump win. If he doesn’t want that, he needs to drop support for a genocidal illegal colonial state known by the name of Israel and stop pretending to be a “good person”, but actually become one.

      why do you think the oligarchs tolerate somebody as unstable and unfit as Trump? the corporate elite aren’t making plans for the next four years. or even eight. They’re making plans for the next handful of decades.

      from their perspective the disaster that is a Trump presidency is a Peon’s problem and something they can simply weather, particularly since L’Chump is perfectly willing to cut 'em all some tax breaks and deregulate shit, and all that, so long as they flatter him and maybe stay at his hotel.

      But really, what it does, it let them scare the progressives into voting for “centrists” perfectly willing to move things to a more comfortable spot. for them.

        Plenty of downticket races that will have a more positive impact than a “protest vote” that will ultimately only make your life worse in the end.

        They learned literally nothing in 2016, why do you think they’d suddenly take it to heart now?

          I don’t. That’s why I’m not a democrat.

          The problem with downticket votes- people have been voting more progressive for ages; it that doesn’t translate to the national party which is mostly centrist…. Because they play games with their bullshit primaries.
