    Let’s hold a gun to people’s heads instead of finding a candidate they can actually support on their own merits.

    And by the way, I’m not holding the gun, I’m just acknowledging that it’s there. Your approach is to pull the trigger.

        Actively pushing disillusionment and passivity in order to convince democrats not to vote, and usher in a Trump presidency? Even if that’s not “your approach,” is what you’re doing in this thread.

          I’m not “pushing” anything. I am explaining why I’m disillusioned. If other’s agree with me that’s not my fault. If that’s so bad maybe the people responsible for this situation should take a good hard look at the way they’re doing things and come up with a better plan next time instead of continuously doubling down.

            So let it all burn because it’s not your fault and they did a bad job? I dunno man, I kinda like living in a democracy, even a broken one, over a fascist society.

              I didn’t create the situation, I’m just commenting on it. I hardly think a Lemmy post is going to push us over the edge.

        Your approach certainly seems to be that we should vote for someone other than Biden. If I’ve misinterpreted your position that’s my fault - but then if that’s NOT your position then this arguing is even more impotent since your goal is what exactly? That you want to be sure the rest of us are just as angry about voting for Biden as you are?
