Democrats moving to the right to try and get republican votes isn't a great strategy. But they'll get to blame the left if they lose, and keep moving to the right if they win. Billionaire donors stay winning.

I think Democrats are smart enough to realize the plan during an election year. Republicans, not so much.

[–] Muyal@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

And democrats call themselves leftists...

Would you rather Trump fucking win?

If hoping Biden wins in a bad thing, who exactly do you think would be a better candidate Of those running for office this year?

Democrats not being leftists has NOTHING to do with how shitty Trump is. Stop it. Stop. This is fucking reactionary stupidity. Stop using Republican "logic".

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well if people are going to refuse to vote for Biden over this shit, who exactly do you think is going to win instead?

Be fucking realistic, if no one votes for Biden, Trump wins.

No one who has said they are unhappy with Biden has said they aren't voting. You fucking morons just assume a negative opinion implies they won't vote against Trump.

Stop projecting your own lack of moral fortitude on to others. I can hate someone AND recognize that they're still the lesser of two evils.

I just wish you dumbasses would understand that "lesser evil" is still evil, and I am NOT happy voting for ANYTHING evil.

No one who has said they are unhappy with Biden has said they aren’t voting.

You can find people literally in this comment section who say exactly as much. Jesus Christ.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

and? Did I say that I'd be passing on Biden? Did everyone say that? Is it my job to make Biden appealing, or is that Biden's job?

Stop victim blaming, loser.

and? Did I say that?

No one who has said they are unhappy with Biden has said they aren’t voting.

No one who has said they are unhappy with Biden has said

No one

Again, stop blaming others for Biden's mistakes. It's beyond pathetic.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Biden made you post that, huh? Damn, the Deep State really is everywhere.

People who are saying they won't vote for Joe may be talking about the primaries. You know, the place where it would be WISE to vote against someone doing bad things that you do not support.

but fuck voting for what's right when there's a scary clown in the background!!

You enlightened centrists are so fucking pathetic. Go be happy voting for genocide instead of against fascism. Fucking clowns.

People who are saying they won’t vote for Joe may be talking about the primaries.

There are plenty who quite explicitly voice that they mean the general.
