There are two choices in this coming election, effectively. Trump or Biden.
If one loses, the other wins.
You want to guess what contributing to Biden’s loss will cause?
Go ahead. Take a few swings.
And asking someone who is already apathetic to voting to vote for someone who supports genocide isn’t going to make them want to vote any more
Someone who is already apathetic to voting is already not a very good target for voting outreach. You’re not really making “Have the least reliable voting bloc since we started tracking such things be the lynchpin of the strategy to defeat fascism” sound any more reasonable than it was previously.
It’s a rigged game so they won’t play.
If they think it’s a rigged game, what benefit will appealing to their desired policies have?
You should be mad at Biden for not trying to engage with those voters and instead locking them up and using police violence against them.
Oh God, not this line again. It doesn’t matter that Biden at no point has advocated the use of police violence against peaceful protesters, he’s definitely the one behind local police continuing the policy of being absolute shitheads, as they have for the past [checks notes] century and a half of US policing.
Yes, there are two choices. So i support people who are trying to make the less terrible one better. Meanwhile you want people to just shit up and support genocide.
Meanwhile you want people to just shit up and support genocide.
Oh, is that what I want? I guess calling the Israeli genocide a genocide and advocating for the total removal of US aid from Israel is support of genocide.
Or is it because I don’t regard Trump as winning as a reasonable alternative to Biden that makes me a genocide supporter?
I can find you people saying exactly that while claiming to be left-wing.
They are saying it is inevitable if Biden continues down this path.
Their proposal for course-correction is “If Biden takes up a position that is currently unpopular with the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, his numbers will improve”
You have never trumpers, that’s you, your vote is locked and Biden could dick down a toddler on live tv and you wouldn’t care. We can safely disregard these people, they are the Biden equivalent of magats.
So you can either try to get the people who support genocide on your side, or the people trying to stop it.
Either way, we get what we deserve because of the votes.
And apparently, your argument is that you should and must support never having a say in your government again because Biden is evil. Not that it will prevent an evil man from getting into the presidency; no, but you HAVE to punish Biden, no matter what rights you lose everyone else in the process!
I’m asking you to support not being under a fascist regime. I’m asking you to support being able to fight for the next four years without having to take up arms. I didn’t realize “Please do this so we DON’T have to deal with the prospect of waging war in our own country if we want any sort of change away from a fascist regime” was going to be such a hard-fucking-sell to someone who opposes war.
My payment is me and people I care about not being rounded up, tortured, expelled, or executed at some point during a second Trump administration. It’s very valuable to me.
I don’t give a fuck that the DNC is filled with listless, lazy, complacent, corrupt shitheads, because ‘punishing’ them for that by putting a metaphorical gun to my head and blowing my brains out just doesn’t seem like a good calculus, especially since fascist regimes always have a place for listless, lazy, complacent, corrupt shitheads anyway, so it wouldn’t be much of a punishment for the worst amongst them.

Thanks, Biden.

No one is saying trump winning is preferable. They are saying it is inevitable if Biden continues down this path.

That’s not very compelling.
It is this fucking simple.

I don’t have to punish anyone.
You aren’t asking me to punish someone, you are asking me to support someone:
