    UHOH!

    Somebody forgot to write a 1,000,000 word essay on how Republicans are worse then democrats before submitring one morsel of criticism against the Democratic party. Thus you are a secret Republican Russian.

    No you don’t get to ask for Ranked Choice voting to solve the spoiler effect. The spoiler effect must hover over your head every time you’re in the voting booth. THIS. IS. DEMOCRACY. MANIFEST!

    I see you left the voting booth without a big enough smile, it will be 10000% entirely your fault if the democrats weak willed attempts don’t work out.

    No you don’t get to have any input. Taxation without representation is how this country was founded silly. This is just how it works here. Maybe when you grow up, you will realize the real adults, the real americans are the only ones responsible enough to control the nation until their last gasp on this planet. Of course it is right to continue shifting the Overton window to the right! This is reality sweetheart, maybe you’re just a idealistic dreamer with to high of expectations.

    Now smile really REALLY big and say “Joe Biden is the most pro-union president in American history” 20 times in the mirror before you go to work your 3 part time jobs.

      He’s the most pro-union President in my lifetime. Which is to say he’s not aggressively sabotaging and dismantling every union group his national police agencies can get their hooks into.

      This is the gold standard for a modern Democratic President. A guy who won’t show up with a crowbar and knee-cap you as you’re trying to move 40 years of accumulated economic baggage.

        I could believe you’re under 24 and missed Bill, but you weren’t born till 2016 and missed Obama too?

          Ask the AFL-CIO how they feel about Clinton continuing NAFTA after explicitly campaigning against it.

          Deindustrialization of the Midwest obliterated manufacturing. Telecom consolidation under the 1996 act also wrecked unionization in both the industrial and mass media sectors.

      You know that people disagreeing with you is allowed, right?

      You say what you think, they say what they think, people read both. It’s how it’s supposed to work.

      Given that OP constantly concern trolls how awful biden is, id say that criticism of them wouldnt be out of line. There is a rather large contingent on the internet, and here on lemmy in particular, out to spread FUD to demoralize the american populace in hopes of discouraging them from voting. With that in mind, and considering the same profiles spread the same nearly exclusively anti-biden propaganda, and the same exact ones jump in to the others defense… methinks the lady doth protest too much.

        back when the “taylor swift’s jet” thing was happening i noted that it was just free publicity for a billionaire and got called a fascist by a left-leaning chat.

        mere weeks ago i pointed out how biden campaigned on queer rights in 2020, then once in office basically told us screw off and he’d get to us when he got to us. no action taken, and not another word about us until it was panderin’ time again.

        literally any deviation from “blue no matter who” is perceived as concern trolling. maybe if y’all would stop getting up every ass belonging to anyone expressing the vaguest whiff of criticism and spinning any departure from DNC-approved messaging as nefarious fascist propaganda then we could get anywhere in any discussion. as it is it’s impossible to have any kind of discussion with nuance.

          The jet memes came up right after she endorsed biden, the timing was definitely convenient. Biden also just passed bathroom protections. And dnc-approved? Lol.

          U want to push the dems left but given how they have literally adopted social stances that were political suicide mere decades ago now that the public consciousness has licked up on em, id say the dems are at the very least concerned with keeping up with some sort dialogue withthe masses. The opposition meanwhile intends to pass project 2025. In FPTP, those are our only options and shitting on the only viable candidate that doesnt intend to rid us of our only semblance of democracy isnt helping.

          You want something further left, please, by all means take up some form of direct action and set up systems of mutual aid. But shitposting on the internet only serves to influence the young and impressionable into disengaging from the political process.

            oh look you reduced all of politics to a false dichotomy, handwaved political discourse with any kind of nuance as “shitposting”, and told me to sit down shut up and keep it to myself for the children’s sake. wonder who benefits from that.

            edit to add: your point about biden and bathrooms kinda proves my point - he told us “hang on”, let shit escalate, and only did anything the fuck at all when election time came around again. are you blind or just stupid?

      You’re privileged because you won’t be murdered if we lose this election. You’ll only be murdered slowly over 30 years, along with everyone you love.

      If I vote for the correct candidate, do I get a succulent chinese meal?
