So what’s your solution? Who has a better shot at winning the election in November if they started campaigning today? I want a specific name and why you think it would work. You know better than everyone, this should be easy for you (everyone else, watch for this sidestep and refusal to actually answer or back up anything).
You’re really good at claiming (almost to a point of preference) that Biden will lose and why we shouldn’t support them but not once have you provided anything of value that people can take action on. Everything you post appears to be designed to make people more apathetic and less likely to be involved, why is that?
You keep saying Biden needs to be replaced but there’s literally no candidate to replace him with that beats Trump. If you’re so sure we need to ditch Biden, and you’re not advocating for Trump to win, it seems pretty fair to ask what you think should happen. Until you do that it’s pretty clear you’re just spewing bullshit in bad faith.
And I’m telling you, there is no viable candidate you can nominate that has a better chance than Biden. “Generic Democrat” isn’t a candidate. Who’s polling better and is willing to run?
So then what take should I have to prevent Trump from winning? Specifics. You know what works, tell us. So far I’ve got:
Biden is bad and will lose
???
Why can’t you defend anything you say? Why do you need to try and dodge questions and play rhetorical games? I have had 1 simple question this entire time and you won’t answer it.
You should first accept that based on all the information we have currently, Biden isn’t viable as a candidate, and that by continuing to promote the position that Biden is the only option when they obviously aren’t even an option at this point.
This is pure conjecture. You have not provided any viable alternative. Once you do that we can discuss other options and if Biden is actually less viable.
Can you point to a single misleading or inaccurate statement I’ve made about Joe Biden or the Democrats? Where have I ignored criticism? Everything else you say is based on this false and misleading premise that you’ve created and continuously cycle back to. You’re claiming that my strategy is flawed without providing evidence of alternatives. It’s amusing that you’ve written the same thing this many times to avoid backing up your claim but I think I’m good for now. You’re just going to keep playing games. Luckily it’s pretty obvious at this point.
If we take OP at their word (you shouldn’t), this is how they’re “helping” Biden.
They’re also 100% sure Biden will be replaced at the convention, which would make their “concern” about Biden losing complete bullshit.
OP may not be a paid propagandist, but they’re doing everything one would do. Including the response of “blue maga” or that we’re delusional for seeing through this cheap bullshit.
The lemmy propaganda army has shifted their strategy. Now we’re hurting Biden’s chances by not letting them freely spread bad faith bullshit without any pushback.
And here’s one more technicality about scheduling an early debate: If the debate is a complete debacle for one of them, each party technically has time and a process to change nominees. After all, this first debate will take place before either candidate is the official nominee of their party....
This is why no one takes you seriously. You say bad faith nonsense like this and then accuse reasonable people of shouting you down or plugging their ears for calling you out.
Why? I might as well set a reminder to become Batman. It’s clearly not based in reality. You offer zero proof or reasoning behind your claims.
If you truly believe they are going to replace the incumbent candidate for president 3 months before the election, I don’t know what to tell you, you need a better understanding of US politics and how this stuff works.
But I don’t think you believe that. You’re constantly looking for ways to depress support for Biden and this is just another tactic. You don’t engage in good faith so there’s no reason to give you the benefit of doubt.
Yeah I learned this lesson by starting with Smartthings and grew to hate the lack of reliability pretty quickly. Home Assistant and a raspberry pi has been significantly better.
Many voters believe, with good reason, that none of this would have happened without Biden’s assent. Biden has continued to speak of Israel’s attack on Palestinian civilians using the absurd language of “self-defense”. He has insulted Jewish Americans and the memory of the Holocaust by invoking them to justify the...
Hey now, that’s not important. What’s important is making sure Biden doesn’t get reelected. We don’t need to mention the consequences of the bullshit propaganda people are pushing.
And people refusing to acknowledge that Biden is better than Trump in every way is going to help Trump get elected as well. We’re not calling you stupid, we’re pointing out the facts on the ground and why your strategy results in more harm to the people you want to protect.
The only way we beat Trump is by coalescing the Democratic coalition. That’s going to take the politicians responding to voters needs AND the voters to show up and prevent GOP victories. Withholding your vote in November, regardless of what Biden does, results in progressive causes backsliding further and makes it harder if not impossible to gain control in the future. I want people to understand that voting is a strategic choice, not a moral one.
