    I’m not trying to convince you to vote for or against anyone. I don’t care if you vote third party, I sometimes do that too. At least they help elevate calls for reforming our voting system.

    You have constructed an idea of a person that does not fit what I represent. You are assigning attributes to me that aren’t accurate or based on what I’ve stated.

    You are speaking in defense of someone who speaks in support of voter apathy. That’s the only thing you’ve done that merits a response.

      Well a second ago you were defending the 2020 primaries so let me ask you a straight forward question:

      Was Biden the most viable candidate in the 2020 primaries to win the general election?

        Using the outcomes of the primaries to illustrate a point about voter engagement is not the same thing as “defending the 2020 primaries.” I really want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you can’t even understand my position.

        I won’t be goaded into defending candidates, I’m just calling you out for directly supporting voter apathy in this comment chain. By doing so, you do the work of those who would oppress you even further.

          I understand your position just fine. “Vote blue no matter who.” Yeah, we’ve heard it. The answer is “No”.

          You’re clearly a moderate who would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists.

            I never said that and I haven’t advocated voting blue at any point here.

            You continue to misrepresent my position. Seriously and sincerely go fuck yourself.

              Then why are you arguing with me? I said we’d vote 3rd party.

                That’s a fair question. I think I didn’t like being accused of doing nothing in 2020. I’m sorry for jumping down your throat, that was over the top.

                Can we meet in the middle? I would appreciate an apology for insinuating I’m a party loyalist.

                  My dude I’ll happily give it once you give any kind of criticism for it. I’m not trying to be a dick there’s just a bunch of moderates lately larping as progressives or leftists but when you put their feet to the fire they can’t offer up any substantial criticism of the DNC, the primaries or Biden.
