I don’t disagree about the DNC’s ego, but the stakes are very different from 2016.

Biden has people with standards and morals to motivate.

Are you suggesting those people with morals and standards will just abandon those morals and standards to vote Trump because Biden didn’t look as good as they wanted? Or just not vote because Biden didn’t live up to those standards, despite the Supreme Court and Trump making it very clear that democracy is on the ballot.

This isn’t going to be a race decided by undecided voters, no one is sitting on the fence despite what the media might be saying. The only people saying they are undecided simply don’t want to admit their politics out in the public.

And like you said, Trump voters see his shittiness to others as a feature, not a bug. But democrats don’t. They see it for what it is, shittiness. So Why, in your mind, would Dem leaning voters look at all of the things Trump has done and decide “you know what, that Biden guy and the Democrats better align to my morals and standards, but Biden looked awfully old… I better vote for the guy trying to destroy democracy, he’s only 78 after all.”

No one is seriously considering that. It’s just not a real option. The only thing I could see being a possibility is people being discouraged against voting entirely because Biden didn’t exactly fit into their perfect mold of a candidate. So as a protest, they abstained from voting, and in turn allowed fascism to win through their collective inaction. I can’t see anybody even remotely leaning Democrat doing that though. If they’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention, they’ve probably already decided to protest vote against Trump.

You’re talking about Biden’s ‘massive ego’ in a race with Trump as a candidate? 🤣

Yep. I’m voting against Trump, not for Biden. Trump could run against a rock for all I care.

You seem frustrated.

At the same time, everyone can profit from your work and you can’t do anything about it. And big businesses, having more capital than you or I, would abuse that to their benefit like they do the current copyright system. But at least the current system gives small copyright owners some semblance of protection and an avenue to contest abuse. Not having copyright would give a creator no avenue to stop someone else abusing their hard work.

Seems silly to me. Just cuz online made money doesn’t mean your hard work on story dlc wouldn’t also make money. Plenty of people like me never play online and would have happily paid for more story

It’s like when you draw a face and spend hours on it, only to mirror the image and see how stupid it looked.

How many games have microtransactions that disappear within a few years? Seems like team fortress 2 is the one place where you can buy an in-game item and still have access to it over a decade later. Not many games can say that.

It’s July. Who the fuck is supposed to replace him? These articles are fuckin pointless.
