    Democrats claim to be the good guys but can’t stop themselves from engaging in this massive faschie disinformation campaign about anyone left of genocide Joe. I’ve not seen a single user in leftist forums saying we should vote Trump for “acceleration” but I can’t fucking escape it being thrown around as a consistent fact by dems.

    Same with how they can’t call a third party vote a “third party vote,” its always a “spoiler” or “protest vote,” (when they aren’t outright lying and claiming anyone not voting Biden is actually not voting and advocating for others to not vote.)

    Turns out, if you need leftists to win you should probably stop telling them to eat shit and lying about them at every fucking turn. I’m no political expert but 🤷‍♂️

      The president isn’t the entire government there are other places you can put pressure. I’m not saying what’s happening is right, I’m not saying that you should vote for him.

      If you are moral compass won’t allow you to align yourself with Joe Biden I completely understand that.

      You have to acknowledge the reality that by dying on that hill you choose the other option whether you mean to or not. We should be rioting the streets to change it but it is the way it is.

      It is more complex than that because of things like unequal vote distribution but more or less that’s what it boils down to.

        “If you don’t vote blue no matter who its actually your fault”

        No, it’s Democrats fault for consistently and firmly moving right time and time again to court ““centrists”” as they tell me as a voter to shut the fuck up , tell me “no we won’t consider your positions,” and flat out lie about me and my positions to villify me in the eyes of establishment voters.

          I didn’t say any of that, I sincerely don’t care who you vote for or if you even vote.

          All I’m saying is in the system as currently implemented, choosing not to vote or to ignore the two party bias is still a vote for one of the two.

          Please do not put words in my mouth.
