    Because we’re all relying on historical context. No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

    Democrats funding for cops actually helps democrats reach centrists and independent voters.

    Nobody actually gives a shit about Israel and Palestine. People bringing this up are feigning concern.

    Nobody has ever said Biden will ‘protect us from Trump’. Not voting for Trump is what protects us from Trump. Telling people to stick it to the man and vote for someone else is harmful, because it splits the vote.

      What the fuck are you going on about? Just because you’re a psychopath who doesn’t give a shit about other people doesn’t mean we all are.

        I cannot claim to know OP’s mind, but IMHO, I think those that are performatively wringing their hands and clutching their pearls over the situation in Israel right now are either a bit deluded or just out to delude others, IF they are acting like having donnie instead of Biden would make that situation in any way better. And if they are telling people to vote third party or stay home to lodge a stupid protest against The Man, they are only helping donnie. Which again, will result in things going from very, very bad to far far worse.

          Nobody is making that argument. You were the person the op was taking about. Nobody’s going to vote trump over Palestine.

      . No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

      Biden’s current approval rating is 34%…

      What’s the last president with numbers that low he got a second term?

      Like, I don’t think people understand how historically unpopular Biden is. 34% is fucking insane for being the president that followed trump, you can’t get a better set up than being compared to that shitheel.

        Liberals are so self-assured that they occupy the majority position that they simply cannot fathom that number is accurate.

        I honestly do not think there is any way to get through to those people. Everyone who disagrees is either not a real american democrat or have been duped by the fake media.

        They will drive us clear over the edge of the cliff and blame us for giving them the wrong directions.

          It’s just insane to me.

          Like, there’s that thread where Biden’s talking about not bowing to “elites and millionaires” calling for him to drop…

          And people are acting like that’s really what’s happening.

          The elite and billionaires are the only ones not calling for him to drop, he’s trying to frame it as him fighting for what voters want, but voters don’t want Joe as the candidate.

          On Friday when they asked him about the polls, he just pulled a trump and said they weren’t fucking real.

          Before trump in 2016, that answer would never have fucking flown.
