You’d rather let democracy die than compromise on a few ideals?

If Biden loses votes, trump wins.

If trump wins, you will never have the opportunity to get your leftist ideals again.

I feel that would be a better question to ask the DNC… Would you rather let democracy die than pick a candidate other than a senior citizen who’s obviously struggling with dementia?

The only reason we’re in this situation to begin with is because the DNC refuses to leave behind their archaic self enforced rule, where seniority is the only thing that matters.

Why doesn’t the democratic party have a single viable alternative to a man who can barely string together a coherent thought in public? Because, they refuse to support anyone who isn’t economically center right, and anyone who isn’t old enough to qualify for Medicare.

So you’ll give rulership to trump - who wants to have in the USA what Putin has in Russia - just to punish the DNC?

There is no other choice right now - it’s “doddering old man with a good cabinet and no ambition to become a fucking dictator,” or a wannabe dictator.

“So the DNC is giving rulership to trump - who wants to have in the USA what Putin has in Russia - just to punish the Democrats who want a more viable candidate?”

There is no other choice right now - it’s “doddering old man with a good cabinet and no ambition to become a fucking dictator,” or a wannabe dictator.

Why isn’t there another choice right now? Why wasn’t there another choice 6 months ago? Why are we being forced to choose between two decrepit old men?

I never said I was voting for Trump, or even abstaining from voting. I just think it’s ridiculous that people like you aren’t outraged at the DNC for propping up a candidate doomed to failure, and at such a crucial time.

The far right did the work moving the Overton window to the right by working together.

Remember, they’re out there every day pushing. What are you doing?

do you really think it was collective grassroots action that did it and not the backing of capital and media?

No one said it was grassroots, just that they worked together.

it’s easy when “they” include people in positions of power and with great wealth, let’s not blame progressives for “not working together enough.”

Where do you expect those leftist policies to come from when low voter turnout gives the Republicans enough seats to veto them all?

It’s funny I just made this one the other day

That is not how it works in most countries, but it certainly works like that in the US because it has an inherently shitty political and election system which only allows for 2 parties.

If I have to concede to a rightoid party, I’m going to vote for one that aligns with my political views on social policies.
