Hell I'm still gonna vote for Biden I guess. Even though my county will go 60/70% blue and my state 60/70% red no matter what so I might as well sit on the couch
Someday we'll be able to tell these old guard 90's dems to eat it. They'll die soon enough anyway
I wish I could promote your response here to the whole fucking world, because I think it speaks loudly of the very issue we're discussing.
Notice how much easier it was to say that when someone was being considerate of your opinion and not bullying you into submission to vote for Biden? Like this is what all the people in this thread are fucking missing.
We want Republicans to lose and we're willing to suck it up and vote for a Democrat to make that happen, but if you're abusive to us on the internet about it, guess what, we're unlikely to respond well to that.
Shocking, people don't like being bullied and when you're nice to them, you suddenly get what you're looking for. A lot of these people could learn a lot from this single interaction between two people who spoke to each other respectfully.
I think you're pretty cool, GreatCornholio, and thanks for helping prove what I already felt: A lot of us would be less pissy about the whole Biden thing if we weren't being fucking bullied so hard about it.
