How about literally anyone competent? Why is this always framed as a choice between the lesser of two bads? Of course Biden is not as bad as Trump, but no, I’m not “longing” for Biden.
Its a defense of establishment politics. Its part of a multi-decade propaganda campaign on the part of the ruling class, specifically focused on Democrats/ the left, and one thats been particularly effective.
This exact brainworm, its used to keep Democratic voters continuously voting against their own interests. Low information Democratic voters get sucked into this for the same reason that Republican voters get sucked into hating immigrants: you can get people to vote against their own interest if you can convince them they are better than someone else for doing so. And its exactly what Blue MAGA ends up doing when they rely on this thought terminating cliche. The people spewing ABWD (any blue will do), it gives them the mental framework to place themselves “above” another group by allowing them to believe they’ve come to a “reasonable” or “strategic” choice, and everyone else must just be a big dummy (even though this reasoning was literally injected into their veins via the NPR/ Neolib pipeline.
People who rely on this trope want to believe they’re the smart ones not voting against their own interests, and every one else is a big dummy. But when you look at the impacts of Democrats over to past 40 years, its clear that this, also, is voting against your own interests.
Not personally longing for him (also wanting a better person to win on top) however we do see how ppl rather have a boring president than what there is now. No progress would’ve been better than this huge jump backwards and shattering any hope for the near future.
Anywho, our vote is towards any progressive socialist to President. ✌️ :3
