So you're mad that he's making it a campaign issue because he didn't explicitly make it one beforehand, which he did, you just either didn't read the news when he did or forgot he did it.
I'm as annoyed with Dems not being loud enough as the next guy but at a certain point it stops being their fault for being bad at communicating and yours for just refusing to listen.
The article itself in the headline calls out that this is an effort that he's been contributing to and is publicizing a fresh push in.
Porcelain American Shit.
yes. Im mad he waited till close to election to really make an issue of this instead of leaving it on the back burner. This is a MASSIVE FUCKING THING that he has said next to nothing about. yes I know he has finger waged about it a few times, i haven't forgotten.
also...dude is that porcelain thing like a signature for you?
If it's such a "fucking massive thing" then why did no one bother to show up to vote in 2016? 2016 had the lowest voter turn out among young voters. Seems really convenient when something matters. Biden can do no right it seems, even though Roe v Wade was overturned like last year.
Because we had shit options in 2016. Remember? You were there right? Everybody constantly talking about how the fuck are we having to pick between Trump and Clinton?
I showed up and I voted for Clinton even though I wasn't happy about it but yeah... Here we are.
Also I'm not understanding your quotation marks around massive fucking thing. Are you trying to act like this isn't actually a big deal? That this isn't a hot button issue among people? That's the only thing I can figure out you're trying to imply with that?
I put it in quotation marks because it's only a massive fucking thing when it's convenient. Apparently constantly purity testing our candidates is WAY more important than actually accomplishing things.
To YOU its only a big deal when its convenient. To me this has been a big issue for a long time.
again...and i don't get why i have to keep saying this to you fucking cultists....I like Biden. But that means you are allowed to dislike some of his decisions. Stop acting like a redhat and lashing out anyone who dares to question a single misstep your god emperor takes.
Nah, it's because your opportunistically short attention span having types always happens to be of the fragile white variety.
Even assuming that back burner crack is accurate, which it's not, we both know that you'd be pissing and moaning about him making climate change or student loans or health care the back burner issue instead if you weren't making up grievance about him not being vocal enough about reproductive rights.
It's always the porcelain american folks that are on this shit because it is literally always an excuse to be mad at the Dems and not vote for them instead of being mad at the Republicans who are actually responsible and vote against them, because only you fragile and white as porcelain folks are privileged enough to be so determined to find a reason why we should all be mad at the Democrats for something the Republicans did, because if we spend enough time being mad at the Republicans, someone might remember that the Republicans came into power pretty soon after one of you fragile and white as porcelain folks raised yet another crock of shit about how we should be more mad at the Democrats for something the Republicans did.
You're literally manufacturing consent for the underprivileged to endure 4 more years of Republican administration so you shitheads feel validated enough that "the establishment learned its lesson this time."
It is fucking always the white left, fucking always, "why let moral objections to letting queer folks be hunted for sport get in the way of a good session of letting the establishment learn their lesson about "not doing enough" to stop queer folks being hunted for sport? Republicans? You mean the NPCs I ascribe no agency to whatsoever in my crusade against some old fucksticks who are responsible for absolutely nothing I'm currently up in arms about?"
Y'all get to be taken seriously as soon as you can lodge a complaint without everyone being able to tell you're implicitly threatening to vote strike of vote third party over it, because then we'll know you actually believe anything you say more than you believe in how important it is to feel validated about being right over whatever issue you're pissed about.
Also I need to point out that all I did was criticize a single fucking action of biden's and you're trying to turn that into, not only questioning my loyalty to the fucking party, but you're also saying I'm trying to sabotage the goddamn party.
By criticizing a single fucking action of his. One. One thing I criticized and this is your reaction.
You are literally a fucking cultist. You are exactly 100% the democrat version of a red hat. Frothing in rage at anyone who dares to question a single step your god emperor makes.
Don't you dare bring up the ongoing genocide or you'll be excommunicated 🙄
Holy ever living fuck my man. Not only are you racist as shit but you are completely making shit up. Nowhere did I say we shouldn't be voting for Democrats. I've been very fucking clear that the Republicans are a million times worse and I will be sticking with Democrats.
But seriously... Please reread what you fucking said and tell me how it isn't just pure fucking racism.
Don't pretend to be dense. The criticism you are receiving has nothing to do with you criticizing biden. Most people here probably agree with you so there's nothing to say about that. It has to do with you choosing to distract from your main point by using obscure insults.
So does porcelain American mean brittle and prone to fracture, or is it an exclusively white person designation, or most probably both? Genuinely asking, as it is a neologism for me
I was wondering the same thing. Its not a winning message if its the latter. I have to assume they are a bad actor if they want to hurt their own cause that bad. Its one thing to complain about what white people did and are doing. Its another to call them names. I can separate myself from the white people doing shitty things. I can't separate myself from my skin color. Insulting it doesn't help anyone.
I absolutely think leftists should hold their nose and vote dem. Insulting me doesn't change that but unfortunately it can sway some people.
He did make it an issue an election ago. "vote for us and we'll do something".
