People down voting facts they don't like is giving me flashbacks to 2016...

Ignoring that polls show Biden is one of the worst candidates to go against trump isn't going to suddenly make Bidens chances improve.

It's just wasting the shrinking window of time we have to run a better candidate.

Yeah I've been saying the same. Trump didn't win an election, Hillary lost one. And polls are showing young people don't want Biden same as they did for Hillary.

As a member of the current media boogeyman group who is facing legal bans from receiving life-saving care: Can we please get our shit together? I get it, it doesn't feel good to vote for a candidate who does bad things. You know what's worse? De facto electing someone who does that same shit to a worse degree, who also does literally everything else wrong. I voted Stein in 2016 and have regretted it ever since. It didn't make anything better. I don't even feel like I "stuck it to the Dems". We all just suffered as a result. Please don't make my mistake.

To the extent its even true its going to be a FAFO type deal for them, I expect. Maybe we'll learn this time /s

In America you get a choice between a bad government and a worse government.

You do not get another choice.

Yes, it sucks. Yes, we are slowly circling the drain. Yes, bad things will continue to happen because that's what America does.

So do you want a bad government or a worse government?

Don't forget Muslim and Arab voters. No way they'll vote for ol' Genocide Joe.

Good thing there aren't significant populations of those folks in swing states.

Oh wait
