    How would saying what would most help Biden to beat trump somehow be helping trump?

    Do you blame the weather channel when there’s rain during your picnic?

    Or do you check the weather to see if you should make better plans in advance?

      You’re not genuinely trying to help Biden; you’re just bitching about what he’s doing wrong. It’s nothing but dishonest concern trolling and I’m sick and tired of you spamming that bullshit all over Lemmy.

          LOL, you think just because I’m not in lockstep agreement with your bullshit I’m some sort of neoliberal Hillary fan? Get out of here with that nonsense.

          What I understand, but you don’t, is that the time for trying to pick a better candidate has ended. The primary is over; Biden is the candidate whether you like it or not. So what the fuck are you trying to accomplish by opposing him at this point? The answer is, for Trump to win. That is the ONLY possible outcome of discouraging people from voting for Biden now.

            is that the time for trying to pick a better candidate has ended

            What was the date of the Democratic National Convention when the candidate is named?

            And btw, you’re still acting like Biden won’t listen to his voting base, but you’re acting like the response to that should be voters accepting it. Instead of Biden just supporting the will of his voters over his own personal feelings.

            What happened to:

            Biden isnt a dictator!

            Why did he go around Congress to fund Israel’s genocide?

            It highlights how all his inaction was bullshit. He could do stuff if he wanted, he just doesn’t want the same things as the people he needs to vote for him

            And he refuses to compromise with them.

            If beating trump is important to you, you’re more likely to help by calling Biden out and pulling him left than telling voters that they should shut up and vote for him anyways

            That’s like telling an angry person “just calm down” while you keep doing something to make them angry intentionally. All it’s gonna do is make the other person angrier

              And the irony is lost on you.
