Also this way, when they lose, they can blame us for not voting harder. It's a really good propaganda trick.
If you don't vote for Biden and he loses, you're in part to blame, aren't you?
That's like saying "if you hadn't burned dinner, your husband wouldn't have had a reason to beat you."
Absolutely disgusting viewpoint.
Are you really comparing Biden winning the election to a man beating his wife?
No, I'm comparing your argument to the justifications of a wife beater.
That's incredibly silly.
Go home Shepard your drunk
Except that elections are math. Your husband ostensibly has the ability to control himself if he chooses. If the people don’t vote for Biden and Biden exercises control over the process so that he wins anyway, that’s treason.
No, Biden is to blame for ignoring the extremely loud demands from the Dem base for a ceasefire. No ceasefire, no votes.
Also? This is why liberals will support Trump when he restarts the Muslim bans. "They let Trump win! It'll serve them right." 🙄
I'm pretty sure whoever loses an election can rightfully blame the people who didn't vote for them. That's sort of how elections work.
I will rightfully blame Biden for being a bad candidate and blame the Democratic Party for forcing Biden down our throats and making voters choose between Trump and Biden. That's also how elections work.
Okay? But that still means that he can't rightfully blame you for not voting for him if he loses. Despite what you said.
He can't blame me for being unwilling to vote for genocide! He can blame himself for supporting genocide, because that's my single issue. I disagree with Biden on so many things but this is the one thing I and many many other voters will not budge on.
I'd literally rather kill myself than vote for genocide. Just, go to a polling station and cast a 9mm ballot into the roof of my mouth.
Again, if he loses, you are in part to blame. That's just a fact. Everyone who doesn't vote for him is to blame for him losing. This applies to all other presidential candidates.
By that logic we can blame you for Trump getting elected in the first place. You obviously didn't vote for the right Democrat so it's your fault.
Which Democrat is the "right" Democrat? Because I only remember one Democrat running against Trump in 2016 when he got elected.
The one that wins of course. Your vote lead to Trumps victory.
You said there was more than one. Please name the multiple democrats who were running against Trump in the general election.
Unless you were lying of course. Were you lying?
I am not to blame for when someone else loses. The loser is to blame for their own loss because they didn't do what they needed to do to win.
This twisted vote-brain logic will be the reason liberals support Trump when he restarts the Muslim bans or starts putting people in camps. "Well they should have voted for Biden, they're just getting what they deserve."
I'm not sure why you're denying a basic fact of reality, but I guess enjoy your fantasy.
By this logic you are to blame for not donating to Biden's campaign or volunteering for him.
Probably.
Maybe by your logic
