He's everything anyone who says this wants.
I want to not have Trump set it all on fire, which means voting Biden.
The notion that all misgivings are bratty insistence on perfection is insulting to people who have serious objections.
From people who have none.
I mean, the argument is "Biden isn't good enough, so I don't give a shit if the DRASTICALLY WORSE option wins."
Of course you sound like bratty perfectionists.
And you sound like you love everything Biden does. Especially the genocide support.
No sweetheart, it's called harm reduction. You see, the other option to intensify that genocide support.
Demeaning pet names and condescension are what centrists do when they can't defend the genocide they have always wanted.
We are not on the same page.
I. AM. GOING. TO. VOTE. FOR. BIDEN.
Holy fuck, centrists just love to assume that anyone who doesn't love genocide as much as they do must be voting for Trump or not voting. Why the fuck would I do something that would cause Trump to win? I have enough problems with YOUR pro-genocide turd. Why in gods name would I vote in a way that would cause someone even worse to win?
Go ahead. Ignore it again. Centrists only ever listen to Republicans anyway.
Buckaroo, do you think I like Biden? The only thing I've said that could possibly be construed as a defense of him is "Trump is going to be worse"
You were so caught up in your hatred of my criticism of his support for genocide, you assumed without evidence that I wasn't going to vote for him. When I told you that I was voting for him, you pulled this "we're on the same page" shit, and then immediately forgot it and decided I was gonna sit out the election again, so I had to tell you a second time, in all caps.
No, I don't think you like Biden. I think you exist for the sheer joy of worshiping him for supporting genocide and no other reason. I know this conflicts directly with something you said earlier in the thread, and I have chosen to return the favor of ignoring what you have to say.
And you have ignored for a third time that I am voting for Biden.
Removed, civility.
That's fucking stupid. Most of Biden's base doesn't fucking like him. Our two options both have really shitty approval ratings.
We vote against the guy we hate the most here, not for someone we like.
I've already said I'm voting for the pro-genocide candidate you prefer. I am not abstaining, nor voting for the other pro-genocide candidate.
I am saying that if Biden does not cease his support for genocide, he will lose. You will blame me for his loss anyway because you don't care how anyone votes, you just want performative unquestioning fealty to your guy.
Oh no, I mean. When he loses it will be because of his disgusting choices in regards to the genocide. We're on the same page.
