It's been hard trying to ram into liberals' thick skulls that the "lesser evil" voting shtick that comes every four goddamn years doesn't quite energize people to haul their asses to the booths, especially when said lesser evil is the incumbent. But I've seen some come around recently, so it's something.

Easily the funniest thing would be Biden winning the electoral college but losing the pop vote.

Hey champ, can we maybe not talk about genocide right now?? Huh bud? Chief? Can we not do that while the most important election of our lifetimes is happening?? That ok buddy?

Liberals will blame three groups in this order: "Woke" leftists against genocide, Palestinian/Arab Americans, Black people

Yeah. I'm cool with it. Fuck those fascist shitheads. Some were handwaving "Genocide Joe" saying it was a GOP talking point. Fucking hell. I used to wonder, how could the Holocaust happen? How could so many people be complicit in something so horrible? I still don't understand it, but I'm afraid I'm starting to.

The rhetorical refuge of libs trying to vote scold right now is that genocide is going to happen either way, so you need to swallow your selfish pride and vote for the least bad genocide enabler.

A vote for someone endorsing genocide is apparently not approval of the genocide either. Vote for genocide but shake your head while doing it so everyone sees you disapprove.

where did you come from?
where did you go?
I'll never vote for Genocide Joe

I was banned from two different lemmyworld political coms for being against this kinda shit lol

they're 100% just gonna blame Muslims

Bit idea: Joe Biden is a tankie.

1. Supports sending the tanks (to Ukraine).
2. Supports Muslim genocide (in Palestine).

See? Bona fide tankie.

At this point, does it even matter what their spin doctors and their strategic autopsies conclude? If an electoral system only presents two options against genocide: feverish support, or guilty complicitness then it's fucking useless, it belongs in the garbage. It sucks that it took me a genocide to really really recognize how useless partisan electoralism is, because it's hard to dispell the illusion that maybe it'll give you some crumbs if the right guy comes along. Nope, not even in the face of genocide will it cede an inch.

Most low income people were materially better off under Trump, whose pandemic policies resulted in the lowest childhood poverty rate since the 90s. (These welfare policies were cancelled or expired under Biden.)

Dems will still assume 3rd party and non-voters have a strong Biden preference.

I'm expecting Islamophobia to become even more ingrained as usual with libs leading the charge and going "If Muslims didn't want Islamophobia maybe they shouldn't have voted for the Muslim ban president 💅"

Idk tho today's election results look pretty bad for the GOP lol. Just like the midterms did. Its possible that Joe himself will lose the presidency while GOP lose heavily elsewhere though? But like, the GOP is still dealing with a deflated base that got what they wanted in Dobbs and don't care anymore, and continue to run on culture war bullshit that noone actually cares about.

There's also the issue of RFK Jr, who is apparently mostly pulling votes from Trump.

Like yes absolutely 100% the genocide is going to deflate the zoomer vote* that helped Dems out so much in the midterms but I think the GOP is having electoral problems too, not the least of which that they support the Genocide too, which is going to make the whole thing a mess.

*Not to mention the Muslim vote which obviously tanked for good reason, and is a material thing in at least one swing state.

Nah, havent you heard? The dems won the Kentucky governors race by a few points so absolutely nothing has to change and Biden will breeze to victory in all the swing states polls say hes seriously underwater in

Where was that tweet about democrats looking themselves in the mirror post 2016 and saying "we gotta get more racist"?

This isn't devil's advocate this is parody

I decided to delete the thing I needed to explain and just leave this part.

Are there even enough of us in this country to swing a fucking vote? Why do we keep getting blamed for everything?

BLUE No Matter Genocide

I hope the democratic party loses the next thousand elections

Obama had a close election against Romney in 2012, but that was with Obama who has a lot more charisma than the wet noodle that's Biden. Romney isn't really charismatic and the only reason libs like him is because he's "respectable." Trump has genuine charm and anyone who says otherwise hasn't spent a considerable amount of time in rural parts of the US where he's still adored.

I don't see why that should concern us. It was annoying to be blamed for 2016 because there was nominally an electoral left that was trying to win over "progressive" liberals. Getting tarred for spoiling the agenda of the party was counterproductive to the goal of improving the agenda of the party. Now that that strategy has failed utterly (largely because the non-voting population could not be convinced that that shit actually mattered) and the champions of the electoral left are riding the Sybian for AIPAC, it doesn't really matter that we're the enemies of the Most Progressive US President in History. Damn right we are. The whole thing's a farce, and we only neutralize all hope of resistance by pretending otherwise.

This thread makes me think of all the shitty thinga Biden/dems have done.

Whats the latest with the border wall? News came that he was going to contine building it a week or so before israel palestine stuff.

How did libs spin that shit?
