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.
"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.
You should've gotten your head out of your ass and voted for someone better in the 2020 primaries. You voted for Biden. I'm not responsible for how your garbage candidate performs in the general.
You've got no plan.
