And hopefully the voters in the margins will refuse to vote for him, why would they support the people that are keeping them marginalized?

Because the only other possible outcome to voting D will be so much worse?

That a DNC problem, they knew Biden was a potato and still refused to primary him.

You advocate electing trump on principle to teach the dnc a lesson?

Yeah, there are a lot of them on here. Ignore the past ten times electing the right-wing candidate didn't work to sway the DNC to go left, THIS time, with Mr. Day-One-Dictator it'll totally work out. /s

I'm wondering if there was similar idiocy in the time of Hitler. I know there was literally a "Jews for Hitler" group, so I just bet there were more than a few lefties thinking that having Hitler in power was really going to solve something...

They you people should have done your damn job and held him accountable instead of going to brunch and ignoring what's going on.

Oh please you’re sitting here whining from the sidelines like everyone else.

We have 4 options: vote Trump, vote Biden, vote third-party/independent, don’t vote. What do you want us to do come November?

What do you want us to do come November?

They want you to ensure Trump gets elected, of course. For some reason, that seems to be the sole goal of their very 'original' form of leftism.

You can do whatever you want but don't expect us to clean up the mess your people made

If you’re going to shit talk and naysay you need to actually propose a solution.

Why bother with that when the goal is wanting to look superior and briefly being able to tell people "told you so". That's before everyone is off to the camps/ovens, I guess.

My solution is to stop the duopoly.

Make your protest vote, or protest skip, or whatever. You'll feel superior and no one else will notice.

I'm not the one with the protest vote. It's you guys that are voting against something. A vote cast against something is a vote of protest

That's not a solution. That's just a statement.

Unless you can provide a legitimate way to do so, sit down and shut up.

And I suppose your solution is keep electing the same people that got us into the problems that we have? Liberals love to try to silence dissent, infantilize anyone that disagrees with them, there's a reason there's a saying that starts off 'scratch a liberal'

It’s interesting how you only respond to people when you can reasonably respond rhetorically/flippantly. You ignore anyone who wants a direct answer.
