(And perfection does not exist.) Is Biden more likely to listen to AOC and her squad than Trump? Is he more likely to listen to scientists than Trump? Hell yeah! Biden may not have been born woke like Bernie, but if you compare Biden from when he started his political career to the current Biden, while still flawed, he has evolved, so he can still change his less popular positions if surrounded by the right people, hence why it’s important to vote for everyone you have to vote for. If you refuse to vote just because Bernie isn’t the Democratic candidate, you are no better than a toddler refusing to play just because he didn’t get what he wants. You know who else we compare to a toddler? Trump. That’s right. By refusing to vote, you are no better than Trump and his MAGA group. You somehow think your opinion is worth risking four more years of this dumpster fire. So what if four more years of the angry Cheeto endangers the life of millions of Americans as well as your democracy? So what if four more years of Kim Jong Un’s bff will embolden White supremacists? You will have made your point that if you don’t get what you want, you won’t play ball. Because that is all that really matters in the end, right? What affects you personally. Nobody else matters but you. You are the center of the universe and if you don’t get Bernie, your country can get four more years of “Science is a hoax.” After all, you weren’t really affected by those four years of Trump, were you? So go ahead, try convincing people that Biden is the wrong choice and that four more years of a toddler running a country is the better option. Because that is what you are doing when you are saying “Yeah, but Bernie…” Bernie lost. It sucks, but that’s how it is. Even Bernie is telling you to vote for Biden, but you are holier than the Pope. You will not be swayed, even if it means waving goodbye at rights you hold dear. Whatever you do this election, these are the two possible results: - Four years of someone who once said he won’t ban fracking (but could change his mind because he actually listens to people) - Four (more) years of a man-child that surrounds himself with yes men, who refuses to listen to science or logic, and who only cares about himself On what side of history will you be? Didn’t read any of that anyway vote for Howie Hawkins Why? He’s not gonna get more than 5 electoral votes, and I don’t see the advantage in dividing the left to face a united right. I get that if you’re not in a swing state, it doesn’t matter, but if you’re in a swing state, I don’t see why you should throw your vote away towards a candidate who stands no chance at winning Democrats are not the left. Read Marx and Lenin. They’re farther left than any other party which actually has influence in America They are not left in any way. The left must organize outside of the Democratic Party. It is not a party of the working class. Yes. You’re right. But not this year. We can’t afford it this year. Next election we can battle it out, but the country is too unstable for that to happen right now. Please. Your candidate is great and all, and frankly, I’m not getting the guy I want either, but that’s the point. This year it is not going to happen. We can try again when a decade of a religious-conservative court isn’t in the works, when they aren’t about to take away our right to get married, when they aren’t controlled by Trump. Please. Wait. We can’t afford do be divided right now. I’d be a lot more inclined to believe you if this wasn’t word for word the script that liberals use every single time Biden will ensure cops shoot and arrest my friends, continue to destroy the planet at the behest of the fossil fuel companies he’s beholden to, deny me health care at the behest of the pharma companies he’s beholden to, his VP will tell me my gender as a trans woman is Wrong, Actually and deny me gender affirming care, will continue to laugh as she destroys BIPOC families, and Biden has been attacking Trump from the right on military might for months because we need to invade Venezuela because Oh No, Socialism. He won’t save anyone but affluent cishet white libs that want to go back to brunch that will turn a blind eye to state sponsored fascism so long as a dem is giving the orders to shoot “anarchists” in the street for protesting such things as unchecked police brutality. Libs are quislings, and the DNC is a party of Strasserites. Fuck your unity, you were never united with us to begin with. You just want the fascism turned down from 10 to something more soothing to your ears so you don’t hear the din of state violence from your positions of affluence and comfort as you sip mimosas at brunch and cluck your tongue about Civility & Decorum. -- source link
