Oh, fuck off with this bullshit. Anyone politically conscious enough to call themselves a leftist is overwhelmingly more likely to cast a Biden vote than pretty much any other group you could carve out.
The left tells centrist morons how to appeal to average Americans. Centrist morons ignore the left. Average Americans stay home on election day. Centrist morons assume it's because they're leftists since the leftists warned them .
It's bad enough the left has to keep voting for establishment goons. It's intolerable that we are the first place they look for a scapegoat when they fall on their fat asses. Hillary lost because of Hillary, and that's on the Democratic establishment and primary voters who nominated an arrogant hag.
All we have is public perception and the outward message leftists want to put off is biden is worse than donald. Sure, when you corner them they may feign some semblance of reason about the ballot box but all I've seen is calls for third party and treating joe like he is sending the orders himself.
The key is, we can be upset, and we can fight for change but right now our efforts must be against trump. I pledge my own to comeback hard on biden if he somehow eeks out the win, but I doubt I'll see any of you there. Just like 2020.
My personal favorite has been "If Trump was president at least Democrats would oppose these bad things out of contrarianism!", completely ignoring that the stark and unconditional opposition to the party across the aisle is a Republican tenet.
But here you are ... mocking people for criticizing Democrats.
... reread the comment.
I meant your meme you posted here :)
That context doesn't make it make sense either. Beginning to think you're just saying whatever comes to mind.
You don't see how your meme is mocking people who criticize Democrats?
You have a meme depicting leftists being foolishly celebratory in a burning Gaza because they focused more on calling out Biden for genocide, than voting against Trump. Was the intent here not to mock?
The meme criticises leftists for going against AOC and Bernie.
You can keep up the non-sequiturs, I'm done with you.
I literally wrote out a description of what your meme was. Are you going to deny what your meme says, and what it's doing? How am I wrong? If you can tell me, let me know. Would also be interested in hearing exactly how this is a non-sequitor. You were criticizing Republicans for not allowing dissent within their ranks, but then I pointed out how your meme was advocating for a similar mindset.
I get you're probably just sleepy or bored, but it also kinda just looks like you are side-stepping reasonable criticism, not surprising given the way you advocate for lefties to avoid criticizing Democratic politicians. Nothing is up for discussion in your world.
