So your suggestion is to keep supporting the same people for ever no matter what they do.

How could that possibly lead to anything changing. You are explicitly sending the message "well keep supporting you no matter what so please do what we want even though it won't make any difference to you if you dont."

No, my suggestion is to not "waste" your vote on an election where one candidate has already attempted to overthrow democracy but somehow still has a large number of supporters. My county votes somewhere around 85% Dem and the whole state always leans blue so there's no chance of Trump getting the nomination here, and in 2016 I was willing to vote on a 3rd party candidate to show my displeasure over Trump/Clinton... but in 2020 there was no way I was going to give up even one vote against Trump.

When both parties are equally bad, or when there's no doubt who will win anyway, then yeah definitely vote 3rd party and make a statement that we're tired of the same shit. But when the race is this close and one candidate has already stated his plan to do far more damage, then every vote counts and we really need to stick with the candidate who can actually win.

So anybody who does anything other than vote for biden is "wasting" their vote.

But you're not saying you just have to keep voting for the dems.

Ok

The day can't come soon enough when the general public starts treating you libs with the contempt you deserve.

Please, help trump get elected with that take. I'm sure you will be so much happier with the END of democracy. You don't seem to understand, this is an existential threat and voting a third party is throwing your vote away. Look at recent history of the other 3rd party runs, they spoiled the election for Gore and Hillary. You may not like dems but there is likely no coming back from the alternative.

HILLARY PERSONALLY TRIED TO GET TRUMP AS THE GOP'S CANDIDATE

Shaming the voters because your candidate lost has historically worked very well, very good idea, keep doing that.

Don't worry Dems are doing a way better job campaigning for Trump by openly supporting genocide.

It's still setting in how much this new tarrif on renewables pisses me off and I was just thinking I'm to the point I'm so fucking pissed at Biden and every stupid fucking move he makes that I've moved on from reasonable arguments and at thisnpoint my reaction to somebody trying to tell me Biden isn't a huge piece of ahit is pretty much "suck my fucking cock you dumbshit fascist hypocrite"

So in response to you insisting you're not saying everybody has to vote for biden and then immediatly lecturing me when I pointed out that's what youw are saying

suck my fucking cock you dumbshit fascist hypocrite

I hope Biden and every liberal who supports him gets hit by a bus.

He completely failed so badly the cou try is going to swing to fascism because he literally failed to prevent a better alternative and every one of you useless dumbshit liberals who has been carrying water for him is to blame.

I don't give a shit if you try to say I'm to blame, I've watched for 20 years as you've blown every possible decision, emboldened fascism at every step, and even now are punching left harder than you are punching right.

If you want to win the election stop being cartoonishly inept fascists and stop blaming the people who have been right about everything for the last 30 years while you've fucked them over while simultaneously lecturing them.

I have more contempt for you than chuds because chuds are at least honest that they hate me and were opposed. You dipshits constantly stab me in the back while lecturing me for not thanking you hard enough.

This country deserves nuclear hellfire.
