You're making a lot of assumptions about my opinions and intended actions that just can't be gleamed from a post kvetching about the sorry state the US finds itself in.
Maybe think about your own knee-jerk responses before you make up ones for others.
I'm just replying to your words, dude, and pointing out to anyone who may be swayed by your argument that your argument is flat out wrong and cruel to everyone who will suffer for a Trump victory in 2024. But I can see why you might not want to talk about that.
To everyone else: Remember that Trump's campaign has admitted to leveraging dissatisfaction on the left to push them to sit out the election. They're counting on this so they can steal close states like they did in 2016 with Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Mr. Albatross, there are two kinds of people that push the meme that you just can't POSSIBLY vote for the genocidal monster of Joe Biden. One is the useful idiot that's bought the bullshit being peddled by Russia and the Republicans. The other is the sorry sack of shit asshole that is actually pushing the bullshit made up by Russia and the Republicans.
Which are you?
Not once did I say anything about who people should vote for. The only sentence I used that talked about voting was saying people will vote for Biden.
You're making up opinions so you can argue against them. Isn't there a phrase for that?
Well, to be fair, I actually didn't say you were saying not to vote for Biden until my very last comment. My first comment to you attacked the foundation of your argument, that you must vote for a monster to avoid harm coming to somebody else. Biden isn't a monster. And I explained why he isn't. And I explained that even with your 'concern' over what Biden has or hasn't done RE: Israel, there is still only one choice for President, and that's Biden.
But if we're going to start accusing each other of dishonest debate tactics...what might it be called when somebody has concerns about how things are going, who thinks that both sides are equally bad, and who reacts to any criticism with semi-polite attacks on the 'tone' of the argument in order to try to make a person with an argument they don't like look bad. So if we're going to play this game, you might want to be careful with the stones in your glass house, buddy. ;)
Why not answer my point that Biden isn't a monster, eh?
