    Does that mean you agree people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries are selfish pieces of shit?

        There were much better options in the 2020 primaries. There was no good reason to vote for Joe Biden.

          Sorry, I reacted like we were talking about those that voted for him in the general

          Still, I don’t think everyone that voted for him in the primaries is by definition evil and trying to sabotage the Left. Some of them are just plain dumb or uninformed. For example, I read/saw a short interview with an African American whose sole reason to vote Biden was that he played second Fiddle to a black president for eight years and he thought he should be rewarded for it. Goes to show you what we’re up against, dunnit

            Hey, I can forgive someone who’s just not very bright giving a bad reason. I’m not gonna be mad at someone who doesn’t know any better.

            But the vast majority did so because they felt like Bernie, Warren and whoever else are just “too far to the left” or “the other candidates didn’t have as much of a chance in the general”. Anyone who provides a reason like that is straight up acknowledging they are intentionally voting against progressives and leftists. And they have the gall to turn around and pretend we’re on the same side in the general? No. They can go fuck themselves.
