I’ll vote for any D, no matter what, but Biden is a sure loser in the general. Independents are fucking mentally defective. You need a showman to win at the margins, where this idiotic election will be decided.

I can’t believe how many of you are so myopic as to think everything’s fine.

I swear that he might have to do it just to save us, but then again, Biden and Harris both need t drop out of the race so we dont waste time in primaries.

When the choice is between and Felon, with many more charges coming, and just an old guy, I am super shocked at how many Americans can’t decide between democracy and a corrupt dictatorship. It’s even being presented factually to them, directly in front of their faces, and they still choose to ignore reality. As if continually doubling down will eventually work out… not sure what their plan is going to be, but they have all burned every bridge aside from other MAGA losers.

Voting for democrats no matter what is a great reason why the Democratic party today doesn’t care about people and actually doing things for them. (Similar with republican party) if you always vote for them no matter and don’t withhold your votes and punish them when they don’t deliver then this will only continue.

So, you’d vote for literally ANY Democrat, no matter WHAT, but you think it’s the independents who are mentally defective? You think anyone who ISN’T 100% committed to political party tribalism is defective? Well, I adamantly disagree. I think it’s the unquestioningly partisan voters who are the defective ones.

I get the whole tribalism bad thing but come on, man. How could any D be a worse choice than Trump?

They didn’t say they would vote for any D so long as they are better than Trump, they specifically said any D no matter what. There’s a big fucking difference.

I think it’s more along the lines of “I don’t want the other guy to win” so they’d vote for a carrot over the offered Republican, who they know what they stand for. They’d prefer a better Dem, but anything to stem the bleeding.

The mentally deficient ones are the ones that can’t seem to decide when the choices are obvious.

Again, you folks are ignoring a key part of what was written. They didn’t say they would vote for any D so long as the Ds can be considered a preferable choice by reasonable and informed people, they LITERALLY said “no matter what.” I sincerely hope you can see a difference.

In order to write this comment, you have to be willing to ignore the existence of cause and effect. Very willfully I’d add

Well, considering how much I deeply despise Trump, and that the Republican party at this point is just a straight up criminal and fascist organization, absolutely.
