    My son is a <30, and they have been pounding them with the "Biden is senile" psyops on social media, hard.

    TruthSandwich,

    @samlitzinger

    Just going to politely point out that a good number of the more extreme responses come from accounts that are likely fake.

    Recently created, few posts, no followers. Basically, something a troll makes after their previous account got shut down.

    @samlitzinger If you're unenthusiastic about Biden, primary him. Then we'll either get someone else or force Biden to change his views to get votes. Primarys have more power than people realize.

    anubis2814,

    @samlitzinger Biden was always my last choice but take everything you hate about Biden and exponentially multiply them, and take any good thing about Biden and do the opposite and you get Trump. We have two parties, one that crushes decent with violence and wants to block free speech and the ability to spread alternative views and one that at least somewhat caves public opinion and direct action. Just voting for Biden did little(especially if we can't get the house and Senate working) but not voting against him will lead to do much more suffering and perhaps the end of democracy

    @anubis2814 I hope currently “unenthusiastic”Democrats will work like crazy to boost a candidate they can love in 2028. If I’m still alive, I’m likely to vote for that person.

    But 2024, barring some exogenous event (yes, possible!), is shaping up as a race between Biden and Trump. That’s the real-world situation, as far as I can tell.

    If Americans really want to save their democracy, there’s only one choice: vote for Biden.

    @samlitzinger @anubis2814 if there's only one choice by definition it's not a democracy 😂

    Biden facilitated a literal genocide with our tax dollars. For those left of liberal, he's a non-starter. He's not gonna win, so if y'all want Trump to lose pick a different candidate.

    @vex @samlitzinger You are repeating Ru propaganda verbatim. They’re using you to divide the Democratic vote. It won’t work but you should be aware of what you’re doing.

    @alien Yeah...I'm not voting for Biden in the primary, but come November 2024, I'm all in, if he's the nominee. I'm in a "safe" state that I could do a protest vote, but after 2016, I'm taking nothing for granted. There's too much on the line.

    @garpu I will bluntly state that not voting will effectively benefit Trump. Voting Biden this once, even if you do not agree with his policies or even the Democrats' agenda, is the only option to save the USA from autocracy.

    0x00string,

    @samlitzinger probably dont fingerwag entire demographics at large at the behest of an article that someone else wrote about them at large. it does the opposite of what youre trying to accomplish. also, its condescending to imply that we arent aware of the stakes, homie. the insistence on not even complaining about our situation does not win our hearts or minds.

    @samlitzinger if you don't see the problem with this strategy then you will lose. Democrats talking down and fear mongering voters while never delivering any substantive change is exactly why party support is low. Add to this Biden being a lousy choice before and enormous disaster now voter have nothing to vote "for".

    samlitzinger,
    @samlitzinger@journa.host avatar

    @Sh4d0w_H34rt Who will you be voting for?

    @Sh4d0w_H34rt@mstdn.social avatar

    @samlitzinger no one tired of all the corrupt bullshit. Donors love a stagnant legislature as nothing major gets done unless it financially beneficial to them then its bipartisan. Both parties are too corrupt to ever endorse with my vote.

    samlitzinger,
    @samlitzinger@journa.host avatar

    @Sh4d0w_H34rt I see.

    Well, good luck with that.

    @samlitzinger my focus is societal level as I know said corruption leads to only one conclusion one of governmental collapse. Preparing communities for this is the only way the most vulnerable will survive.

    Lectures won't work. Use your time efficiently. There are TONS of people who don't need to be convinced or enthused... they just need help voting.

    killallnerds,

    @samlitzinger Why is the young voter's problem and not Biden's?

    passenger,

    @killallnerds @samlitzinger

    Yeah, this.

    To say "vote for me and let me do whatever I want or else democracy ends" isn't a platform, it's a hostage-taker's demand.

    If America is in a situation where voting for a man who loves cops and loves oil drilling is the only choice that young people who hate both have, then democracy already ended.

    If Biden can't whip up enough support to beat a dictator, maybe someone else should run?

    @samlitzinger @Jeremyishere This is the question I want to ask all the "someone else" folks. Who should it be?

    It's easy to imagine a theoretical candidate that matches all your views & is so popular that they easily win elections.

    When you name a real person, though, you find problems. Maybe they don't have wide support. Maybe they're great on issue A, but not issue B.

    It's easy to say "Someone else," but harder to actually find a person who would have wide support on many different issues.
