Because we had shit options in 2016. Remember? You were there right? Everybody constantly talking about how the fuck are we having to pick between Trump and Clinton?

I showed up and I voted for Clinton even though I wasn’t happy about it but yeah… Here we are.

Also I’m not understanding your quotation marks around massive fucking thing. Are you trying to act like this isn’t actually a big deal? That this isn’t a hot button issue among people? That’s the only thing I can figure out you’re trying to imply with that?

I put it in quotation marks because it’s only a massive fucking thing when it’s convenient. Apparently constantly purity testing our candidates is WAY more important than actually accomplishing things.

To YOU its only a big deal when its convenient. To me this has been a big issue for a long time.

again…and i don’t get why i have to keep saying this to you fucking cultists…I like Biden. But that means you are allowed to dislike some of his decisions. Stop acting like a redhat and lashing out anyone who dares to question a single misstep your god emperor takes.

Woah I don’t care for Biden. What I care about is getting a super majority so we can pass meaningful policy and appoint the right people in leadership. For some reason online discourse is either a) purity testing the presidential candidate b) acting as if the president alone has some kind of universal magical powers that can fix all our problems.

God you love those words purity testing. But I’m glad you, at least now, agree this is a big deal as opposed to the way you tried to downplay it in your original post.

But again…all this bullshit from you and other people came about because I dared to criticize a singe action of Biden’s, a man who ive said multiple times, I actually like. As much as one can like most politicians these days anyways. People blabbering about purity testing. People literally calling me a saboteur to the democratic party. People claiming I’m going out of my way to try to get Trump elected.

Holy fuck politics in this country are a joke.

edit-Oh yeah, Can’t forget me questioning Biden had someone like you give me a massive speech about how horrible white people are that a mod ended up removing. All because i said “so he waited to make this an election issue”. All those things from that one simple comment.

You’re welcome to criticize Biden as much as you want. I don’t care, but do it on the right merits and with an understanding of how legislation gets passed. Because singling out the president is such a moronic thing in this context. Of course it’s an election issue. But apparently that’s not good enough because he could have somehow done more even though we have a republican majority in the Senate. Do you see how that comes off as really disingenuous criticism? It’s just rehashing “Biden bad” for the sake of …what?

All I have been saying, over and over and over, is he could have at least been doing exactly what he’s doing here, this right here, at the very least. Instead he waited to do this as a reelection issue. This one tiny little criticism.

And that makes he a horrible white man plotting the downfall of the democratic party and telling people to vote for Trump.
