He also said that the danger posed by another Trump term doesn’t excuse Biden from scrutiny but “actually makes him more subject to scrutiny.”
To leftists and progressives fed up with Biden, particularly his commitment to Israel as it continues to bomb civilians in Gaza, the assessment was not just fair — it was obvious. But more centrist Democrats, including those most likely to have appended “Blue Wave” and “Resistance” labels to their social media accounts in the Trump years, were appalled at what they saw as a betrayal by one of their own.
i’d say telling people their votes won’t count is shitty, especially when they are literally counted.
I never said they won’t be counted, just that it doesn’t matter if your goal is to get as similarly minded a group elected. You made up that claim, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that’s because we view the goal of voting through very different lenses. If that isn’t your goal and it’s just to “see number go up” as it seems then sure you’re 100% right. Depends on what is important to you. To me practical results matter more than getting to feel morally smug.
Either way, lots of your responses (not just to me in this thread) are sounding right out of right wing playbooks so I’m gonna say so long since I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith.

pigeonholing

your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith. but have a nice day i guess.

i don’t believe in voting for people unless i want them to have the office. it’s not about being morally smug, it’s about voting for a candidate i want to win.
