A rapidly growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers is calling for President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid, even as the president insists he’s ready to return to the campaign trail to counter what he calls a “dark vision” laid out by Republican Donald Trump.

You can keep talking to your blue in the face, there's a larger chance you would vote for Donald Trump than I would vote for either one of them. Imagine the way that you feel about Republicans not representing your interests, that's how I feel about both of them. They do not represent the working class. They represent the donor class, not us.
And since Democrats have all but given up on campaigning, they're allowing their constituents to conduct their campaign for them. They're doing a rather shitty job trying to persuade people to vote in their favor. Voters are leading by the example set by the party "shut the fuck up and fall in line, NOW!"
- Cool. Be sure to tell all the people that will suffer under trump that you were too busy being smug and selfish to be bothered trying to help them in any way.
  One vote dude.
  You’re not special. They won’t know you did or didn’t do anything. But no, your smug and selfish ideology won’t allow you to compromise to save people you know will suffer.
  Fucking disgusting man.
  
  Oh, you must be talking about the same people that are suffering right now. You know, the marginalized, immigrants, LGBTQ+, women's rights, the working class, etc, etc, etc.
  Voting for the people that are keeping them marginalized is smug and selfish.
  
  Cool story. See what your smug selfishness causes. I’m done trying to reason with you.
  
  None of your ramblings are based on reasoning, but on fear.
  
  Oh the irony. Let’s see whose ramblings have been removed for misinformation and trolling more, shall we?
  
  Doing a 2016 rerun, are we?
  This is just like when the party conspired to nominate Hillary. Leftists who pointed out that this was a bad idea got kicked from liberal spaces en masse for their entirely justified lack of faith in the candidate.
  
  They love repeating horrible decisions time and time again as if they are gonna get a different response
  
  I've been trying, but Lemmy seems to be full of liberals that hate socialists more than fascists. It's no wonder they're toeing the party line and lashing out at everyone that doesn't.
  
  They would rather uphold fascism then potentially lose the bread crumbs they get tossed. If they would stop fighting the left they could get the entire loaf instead of settling for table scraps
