It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

      No. I was about to refute their misconceptions point by point but decided it wasn’t worth the effort since we’re ostensibly on the same side and nothing I or anyone else can say would convince them.

      Same with you, it seems, so unless you actually have something to add, I suggest you take your conclusion jumping elsewhere.

        Please do try. I’d like to see you show how hilariously out of your element you are trying to prove something to a bunch of randos on the internet :)

        Classic conservative playbook… as soon as somebody proves you wrong or even just argues well against your points, you make a short comment indicating that the time for discussion has passed and that you’ve already won.

        It’s a well documented strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmVkJvieaOA&t=0

        Enjoy your astroturfing

          hilariously out of your element

          Says the one who calls me a

          conservative

          Dude, can’t you read? I clearly said that Biden’s the lesser evil by far and that the Trump presidency was a catastrophe.

          I’m not calling Biden an evil because I think he’s too far left. I’m calling him an evil because he’s way too far right and way too authoritarian. Dude loves cops and the fascist apartheid state Israel, just like Trump does.

            I still think you’re a conservative, just the kind that wears a Mao t-shirt instead of a Reagan one…

              That would make me a tankie. Tankies are super authoritarian and I’m the opposite. That’s one of the things I dislike about Biden, remember?

              I tend to occupy a very wide field between European style Social Democrat to Left Libertarian bordering on anarchism, depending on the specific subject.

              Always on the “no such thing as inherent authority” end of the axis where Biden’s at the “cops are great” end, though.

              Also go look up what astroturfing means

              I’m well aware of campaigns disguising themselves as grassroots when in actuality some very rich people are behind it.

              Ironically, every campaign of The Senator From MBNA has been more or less astroturfing.

                Claims not to be conservative

                Quotes conservative media

                Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate? Sorry, but the 90s were like 30 years ago buddy.

                I literally just started this comment chain to troll, but now I’m genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills.

                  The fuck I did! Conservatives didn’t coin that nickname, progressives did! Progressives pointing out that he was suspiciously helpful to a major campaign donor to the detriment of regular people.

                  Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate?

                  Since every time they’ve portrayed him as just a regular middle class man of the people friend of union workers, none of which he actually is.

                  Right back at you, shitlib. Have the day you deserve.

                    Your anger is futile.

                    That nickname was coined by a conservative news article and outlet - go look it up.

                    Politicians are always going to be depicted as men of the people. That’s not what astroturfing is… you should brush up on the term.

                    I hope you have a much better day than you deserve 💛. It seems like you’re going through some stuff
