      Yeah, but they’re listening to public sentiment.

      If public sentiment is “everyone’s gonna vote for Biden no matter what”, they’re not gonna change the course, and then be shocked when they get blown out worse than they did in 2016.

        If the public sentiment is that we’re gonna vote for Biden no matter what, then when the election comes we’ll vote for Biden …no matter what.

        What you’re describing is if the DNC hear “blue no matter who”, but what they hear isn’t reflective of reality. Meanwhile, what we want is for everyone to vote blue no matter who, but give the DNC a good scare into getting their act together.

        So what we absolutely need to do is be critical of Biden when the DNC are watching, but stress the dangers of a Trump presidency when they’re not paying attention.

        And the DNC are not on Lemmy. So Lemmy is where we should say blue no matter who. We can go criticise Biden on Facebook or whatever boomers use these days. But there’s no point in it on Lemmy, except when we’re saying to vote for him in the election and kill him in the revolution.
