    You don’t win votes by convincing people the other guy’s worse. Full stop.

    Stop celebrating Democrats making TERRIBLE political moves by failing to condemn terrible political moves…

      Don’t be stupid. Trump is going to demand they nuke and pave Palestine and he’ll open a string of Trump resorts for free as his reward. Think that’s unlikely? Please. We’ve got a ton of receipts. He’s 1000 times worse than a Biden administration. So cut the GRU bullshit.

      If “Young Progressive Activists” were actually serious about stopping a millenia-old conflict on the other side of the world, the point of entry is their representative and senator. Do they even know who that is? Representatives pass legislation to require (cease-fire, aid, reparations, whatever) or no more money. That’s what they say they actually want.

      Magical Santa President is a child’s cartoon. And the conversation of this constant BiDeN gEnOcIdE train is a sad hEr EmAiLs argument in design and purpose.

        No one has said they wouldn’t vote against Trump. Why do you assume every vote has to be FOR Biden?

        Not every vote has to come with an ass kissing, you sycophantic dipshits.

          When did the USA adopt a system where voting independent or third party when you lean left has any influence and prevents the Republicans from taking power? Unless you were planning to vote Republican and will vote for someone else?

            How is it so confusing to understand that someone can still vote for Biden while not wanting to vote for Biden?

            You’re all literally too simple to understand how personal morals work, apparently. Sad.

              No, it’s your phrase that didn’t make sense as you said not voting for Trump while also not voting for Biden, learn to express yourself clearly and then start sharing your opinion.

                Again, reading comprehension of a 5 year old.

                If at least you were humble enough to not be an ass…

                  No one has said they wouldn't vote _against_ Trump. Why do you assume every vote has to be FOR Biden?

                  Yeah so in written form that’s exactly what you said, if you wanted to convey that you would vote for Biden without supporting his politics then that’s what you should have said or instead of using all caps on FOR you should have used quotation marks around it.

                  Pretty funny you’re the one who started throwing insults by I’m the ass here

      convincing people the other guy’s worse.

      At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.

      Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.

        Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.
