    Biden is a liberal, and is making moves for liberals, yes. People here are leftists, and want moves made for leftists. Being slightly more progressive for a liberal is not what leftists want, it’s what progressive liberals want.

      Well leftist might want to grow the fuck up and realize that the choice is between a straight-up fascist and a progressive liberal. So the time to whinge about it would have been years ago when they could build up their own candidate and start campaigning for them. Instead, cuz they’re lazy, they’d rather now subvert democracy in a huff. They’re going to end up learning the lesson of Weimar Germany, that when the fascists come to power they murder the leftists. It’s what I can’t understand at this point, is it ignorance or is it malfeasance?

        This same exact line has been thrown at leftists every election cycle for the last 50 years. The fun thing? The liberals sided with the fascists in Nazi Germany, lol.

        I never suggested that leftists shouldn’t vote for Biden over Trump, but get off your high horse and realize that what’s good for liberals is not necessarily good for leftists, and leftists have a right to complain and criticize. Liberals are not entitled to votes just because they aren’t as bad as fascists, at the end of the day both are bad.

        Again, I’m going to vote for Biden, but I’ll absolutely clown on him for being a lukewarm liberal propping up genocide as well.

          If it’s been thrown at them for 50 years, which I don’t necessarily concede, it’s because they never do anything about it. Leftists don’t organize. Leftists don’t prop up candidates at local and small levels. Leftist don’t campaign. What leftists do is complain. What leftists do is cut each other down. What leftists do is turn up their noses at 80% of success because it’s not the other 20. Meanwhile conservative will happily chip away 20% at a time for 30 straight years till they get what they want.

          Being a left is an America is one of the most frustrating things you can be, because we kill ourselves.

        Ah it’s time for today’s episode of Schrodingers Leftist -

        Just a bunch of stupid babies for Democrats to bat around for fun, never to be taken seriously

        But also

        Single handedly to blame for every single dem loss.

        Just admit yall are just as fascist and capitalist as the Republicans and you hate leftists more than you do MAGA. 🤷
