Grow the fuck up. This is a primary, not the fucking general election. Voting against Biden in the primary to tell him "I don't like what you are doing" is a perfectly valid and important way to vote. Why the fuck do you think we have primaries for incumbent presidents in the first place?
Democrats aren't the fascists so stop fucking acting like it when someone strategically votes. Biden isn't god and a vote against him, IN THE FUCKING PRIMARY, is not a vote for Trump. You dipshit. It does not lead to a Trump presidency. If anything, it's the fucking opposite, because it gives Biden time to course correct before he loses votes due to apathy or anger. Justified anger, if you consider the fact that the people voting uncommitted believe he's supporting a fucking genocide.
It's not like if biden got 100% of the primary vote he'd have any better or worse odds at beating trump. Use your fucking brain.
Half the fucking reason biden is as progressive as he has been is because of how well bernie and warren did. That's what happens when you vote your heart in the fucking primary. Biden wouldn't have been nearly as good on things like antitrust without the votes against him, IN THE FUCKING PRIMARY.
Dude, he's agreeing with you, he just went overboard with the satire
Was not clear before the edit and he deleted other posts where he furthered the satire.
Well, i was gearing up for a fight and really for real didn't read your reply so i raked you over the coals when you didn't deserve it. I already deleted them so cmon man, forgive a brother eh?
Understandable.
Fuck off mister
If you can't take insults, don't throw them.
Respond to my earlier comment or fuck right off with your "I'm giving you a chance" shit.
LMAO. Good luck with that attitude. It's exactly the reason democrats and biden risk losing in 2024. Plugging your ears and running away when any sort of cognitive dissonance sets in.
Goodbye. I hope you eventually learn how primaries work.
