    Sorry someone else in the same thread, making the same points as you, claimed it was their civic duty to not vote. Suppose with all the complaining about non-issues / cutting-noses-to-spite-faces going on, must have gotten confused. You really do not sound like someone advocating FOR voting dem. You must be that easily confusable for others advocating against…

    By all means keep going on about false superdelegate shit, and how the DNC is everyone’s real problem because you mean to help so much.

      and how the DNC is everyone’s real problem

      I didn’t say that either. I’ve simply said that if Biden loses, it’s not the fault of the voters, but it’s the fault of the party and the candidate for not earning enough voters to win.

        It’s a self fulfilling prophecy and you’re certainly doing your part. Cause the voters can’t be blamed for thinking the very things this thread repeats over and over.

        It’s up to [DNC] to field a candidate that people want to vote for

        EXCEPT THEY DID AND HE ALREADY BEAT TRUMP ONCE. People do want to vote for Biden but here you are painting the whole party as bad because of polls that have been off for years.

        All based on polling that also said we’d have a red wave in 2020… So while Biden out fundraises 5:1, while democrats keep winning special elections in red states, while republicans get worse and worse you’re constantly saying “dem party is bad, it’s not the voters fault” and trying very hard to paint a picture of how bad Biden is. Like I said it’s hard to tell you apart from the guy saying don’t vote.

          And what does that have to do with this election? Biden won when voters were fed up with Trump’s poor handling of COVID-19. Those were very different times.

          you are painting the whole party as bad

          Except I’m not.

          you’re constantly saying “dem party is bad, it’s not the voters fault”

          Again, I’m not saying that.

          trying very hard to paint a picture of how bad Biden is

          Again I’m not

          Like I said it’s hard to tell you apart from the guy saying don’t vote.

          Because you’re not reading what I’ve written and have built some weird strawman in place of it. I have very clearly said that I will vote for Biden, but if Biden loses it is the party’s fault for not having a good enough candidate. Pay attention to the words in that last sentence, specifically the if. I have not said he will lose or that I want him to lose.

            You said run someone voters want to vote for, I provided an example of how VOTERS already said that’s Joe Biden, but you think that shouldn’t count because you know what every voter thinks. Also for some reason it’s VERY important that everyone knows how much you expect him to lose.

            You are certainly not saying anything good about Biden and in a thread full of “BuT HiLlArY ChEaTeD!” You def seem eager to shit all over Biden and how stupid the dnc is to run him, so yea you are calling the party bad. You don’t mention any accomplishments of the current admin or the party that could be reasons why shitty past polling can be taken with a grain of salt. No just that you will begrudgingly vote for who you feel everyone needs to know is the main reason why they’ll lose.

            I’m not making a straw man out of you not making any point other than associating negative shit to Biden and his party, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

            Congrats, while you claim to vote for the candidate you also feel compelled to shout is the main reason dems would lose… you still sound just like the guy saying the same thing and then concluding they shouldn’t vote at all.

              Do you even read what I write? I didn’t say that either.

              you expect him to lose

              I didn’t say that either.

              You are certainly not saying anything good about Biden and in a thread full of “BuT HiLlArY ChEaTeD!” You def seem eager to shit all over Biden and how stupid the dnc is to run him

              You are projecting a lot of insecurities on me that I haven’t said.

              I’m not making a straw man out of you not making any point other than associating negative shit to Biden and his party, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

              Except I haven’t done that either.

              you also feel compelled to shout is the main reason dems would lose

              I haven’t said that either.

              What about this are you not getting? I have only said that IF Biden loses it is not the fault of the voters it is the fault of the party, this includes the DNC and the primary voters, for choosing a candidate that wasn’t good enough. This in no way applies only to Biden. It in fact applies to all candidates that have ever run. It is not the job of the voters to vote for who a party, any party, wants them to vote for. It is the job of the party to earn the vote of the voters.

      It was me. I said I was honoring my civic duty by abstaining. You’re so mad about it that you didn’t bother checking who you’re replying to.

      Well, I’m mad too.

      What am I supposed to do about it? I keep getting told that if I just bite the bullet (again) and vote the way you tell me (again) then things will get better.

      So I do.

      And they don’t. Not for me.

      I watch everyone’s boats rise, but I still have the same holes in mine and nobody is tossing me the supplies that I clearly don’t have to fix it even though I did what you told me. Good for you all. Really.

      But after this many times, why do it again?

        I was using it as a point that you both sound the same. I’m not mad, just annoyed with the lazy mindset and victim complex. Stop whining about it.
