    The blame will fall squarely on the voters who stood idly by navel-gazing while a fascist took power.

      Oh, not the party loyalists like yourself who would rather back a losing candidate than allow a winner to run in their place?

      Have you ever stopped to consider how someone could find a bloated, orange maniac more appealing than the guy you’re trying to shame everyone into voting for and what that says about your political views?

        Which person, specifically, would be better to vote for than Biden that has a reasonable chance of winning?

          Sanders would bring in the most, make him the nominee and you would keep the never trumpers, bring in some moderates, lose some moderates.

          The math comes down to would the amount of moderates/independents you lose to apathy or trump, double points for the ones who would vote trump instead of sanders since the other team gains 1 and you lose 1, compared to how many moderates/independents and how many leftists you get.

            I’d love to have Sanders, I voted for him last primary, and I’d vote for him again.

            He’s not running. You don’t win with a candidate who’s not running for election.

              Idk what to tell you friend, that sounds like something we have 9 months to fix.

              At every opportunity Biden has had he has continued to support Israel’s genocidal actions.

              He says differently, and god do I feel for people like blinken and the UN lady that has to be the face of support for things like that.

              Maybe it is the rest of humanity that is wrong and we should be supporting the deaths of innocent brown kids.

              It is the American way after all

                No, it’s not. You don’t sub out a candidate with someone who, nine months before the election, has no interest in running for the office. That’s a pipe dream doing nothing but distracting you from the reality that it’s going to be Biden vs. Trump, and despite how imperfect you feel Biden is, you’re going to have to vote for him, because the alternative is fascist authoritarianism.

                Come November, Sanders will be voting for Biden. I suggest you follow his lead.

                  Whose vote is more important to you, the people who would disagree if Biden kept supporting Israel’s genocidal actions or the people who support them?

                  You only get to pick one group.

                    Absolutely irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that Biden will be the nominee against Trump, regardless of what happens in Palestine. Doing anything besides voting for him is holding the door open for fascism to take over when Trump takes power.

                    You either do the bare minimum to stop Trump by voting for his only viable opponent, or you let him come to power with your blessing. Those are the only two options in November.
