    it’s not the responsibility of voters to vote for certain politicians, it’s the responsibility of the politicians to represent people so they vote for them.

    if you think joe biden is gonna lose then you gotta force joe biden to take more popular positions (he is literally running right now it’s the time you make up your platform), not yell at people “refusing” to vote for him as if they are just petulant children refusing to eat their veggies and act like the most logical and rational option is locking your vote for joe biden and whoever disagrees just cannot understand the correctness of your reasoning.

      You probably don’t have a two party system. The song and dance is the song and dance. You hear it a lot because it’s the only song on the radio.

      The work to gain a victory is two-fold.

      • Biden must do everything he can to seem as attractive a candidate as possible.
      • The people who can understand, should: they need to vote for him even if he doesn’t.

      Both of these seek to gain political support. Not one of them. Both.

      Look at you talking like voting is compulsory everywhere so that the voting majority have such power to threaten a politician with repercussions.

      Welcome to the real world.
