Oh, and also the loss of all of the rest of us who will suffer under another Trump administration.
But fuck the poor, minorities, LGBT folk. We have to show the DNC how principled we are by making sure a fascist is elected!
It's up to the voters to make an informed fucking choice. That's the point of citizenship. Voting isn't a fucking popularity contest, it's a civic duty.
I’ll be doing my civic duty by not voting. Voting is supposed to be about picking the candidate I want. Well, I don’t want either of these two candidates, and I won’t stand for the DNC rubbing its greedy little fingers together in the background, making deals and concessions with whomever they have to in order to push their candidate of choice.
Biden has done some good things. Honestly more than I expected. This does not now, nor has it ever, and nor will it ever give the DNC carte blanche to manipulate the primaries from the shadows to choose their preferred candidate to represent the party in a wide-open field of two people once every four years.
You want someone to blame for the fact that you’re all sweating bullets about how this election turns out? Look to the DNC when you want to point fingers, not the people who they’re trying to sucker into voting for the damage control option every four years.
Spoken like someone from a place of privilege. Congrats.
Every election is “the worst election ever where we need everyone to come together and support our hand-picked candidate against their hand-picked candidate”. When do you get to vote your conscience?
When do I vote in a manner representative of who I am as a minority?
When will the ship not be sinking so I can choose someone who actually represents me?
Why is it my responsibility to vote for you when you don’t care about me?
“I know we didn’t do anything for you again these past 4 years, but if you don’t get behind us then it’s going to be bad!”
It already is bad. If you don’t realize that you sound like the privileged one.
Sometimes you have to think about other people and not just yourself.
Marginalized people get extra fucked by "allowing" the even worse candidate to win.
“When do I get to think about me when I vote?”
“Stop thinking about just yourself and think about other people.”
Are you even paying attention to the conversation or am I trying to reason with a recording? Is it any wonder why I don’t feel heard time and time again to the point where I don’t want to do what I’m told?
It’s zero sympathy. I have a duty to get shafted by the political system again for the promise that someday, somehow, something will work out for me.
No thanks, friend.
Then suffer even more I guess and by extension others...
You are a microcosm representing exactly how the Democratic party is treating me. No interest in asking what I want. No drive to sympathize. Just demand, demand, demand. The liberals in here are so beautifully reflected in you, demonstrating the same lack of motivation to engage beyond name-calling, coercion and, in some cases, internet tough-guy posturing.
So a couple of things. I'm not a Liberal, not even close. Secondly I'm also not American so I'm not looking at this through the narrow lens of your conservative government. Thirdly, when did I name call, coerce or Internet tough-guy posture?
You will reap what you sow I guess. The rest of the world thanks you for Trump again.
