nope, they’re right. I’d vote for Warren and I’d drop my prohibition against voting blue in any race. I don’t love warren, but I think she has virtues, I’d be voting for something, and I could at least half hope that the things I’m voting against wouldn’t happen if she won. plus she stands a much better chance of actually fucking winning; non-trumpers dont hate her.
I will not under any condition vote biden, and if the blues run him, a D by your name gets you the same treatment as an R in my book.
dangling us over a fascist cliff is not endearing behavior. I will not vote for a terrorist.
You’re still the problem even if you pretend to be above it. Trying to prop up your argument with the morality of not choosing the lesser evil does nothing but make you feel better about yourself in “refusing to compromise your principals”.
This is reality and the reality is we live in a two party system. By not voting for one you are actively supporting the other.
So rather than three paragraphs of idealistic bullshit you should just truncate it down to:
I’m not refusing to compromise.warren would be a compromise.
biden is making trump more of a threat to get himself elected. that’s not okay. if he doesn’t step down, he’s okay with that wager, and I don’t want him near power.
fascist edging is irresponsible and not something I’ll vote for. especially if it doesn’t even stop the genocides!
Cool. So what you’re saying is you are perfectly ok with Trump being president, just so long as you don’t have to vote for Biden. That is the reality we are staring down the barrel of. You might not like having to vote for him, but if there are not enough votes under the Biden column then we will have a second term of Donald Trump. Keep what-ifing and patting yourself on the back.
You. Do. Not. Get. To. Choose. Who. Runs. For. President.
Rather than accepting that reality, you’re choosing to sit and watch as a Trump presidency happens and say “Whelp. My hands are tied” rather than do your part in voting in the far superior option.
Sounds like you’ve made a compelling argument as to why what you’re demanding isn’t a real option, so you’ll need a better excuse as to why you’re refusing the only rational option you have.
he’s why it wouldn’t be an option. the rational option is ignoring your bullshit elections in favor of direct action, the emotional reaction is voting for the red team out of spite.
Are you talking about 2024? Because no there wasn’t. No party in the US holds more than a pro forma vote for presidential nominee if they have an incumbent running. Primaries in such years are specifically for lower offices. A President hasn’t been primaried in the US since Johnson declined to run again after getting beat horribly in polling and the New Hampshire primary.
The OP you’re replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn’t a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!

Is voting Warren for president an option? Quit being a jackass.
its not.because of Joe biden.
again, I don’t even like biden. don’t worry, I’ll stay politically engaged; I just won’t be wasting my time at a voting booth.

I’m saying biden is threatening me with a trump presidency by not stepping down. I’m not okay with that.
I thought this was a jokefour years ago,but you people really are just as bad.
when your only point of favor is ‘they’re worse’ you can’t really avoid the comparison.
You. Do. Not. Get. To. Choose. Who. Runs. For. President.

Don’t bother. They want fascism, they’re just too cowardly to admit it.
There was a primary. She didn’t run.
because the party would take it as an insult, and her career would be over.

Oh, got em on the technicality!

Oh did I catch you guys operating in bad faith? Shock.
