Terrible analogy.
This is the goddamn DNC's fault. They are allergic to supporting anyone that's not an old school establishment Democrat.
Give us a suitable candidate. Biden is too old and everyone knows it.
Give us someone that is actually progressive and that actually wants to help the American people. We have a few very obvious issues that neither of our geriatric overlords are addressing.
-
ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE. This is the most important one. Just do something. Anything. Nothing is being done and it's getting hotter every year.
-
Lower the cost of living. Rent is out of control. Food costs are out of control. It's hard to live right now. Protect US citizens from corporate greed.
-
Fix the real estate market. Most of us will never be able to own a house because several corporations have been allowed to run amok. Make it so the average person can buy a house.
-
Healthcare for all. It's not complicated.
-
Stop the genocide.
Put someone forward with this obvious and simple platform, and I promise they win.
We are not married to Biden. Get us someone younger. Why is this so hard?
- During Biden’s first term, we’ve made several of the biggest steps toward addressing climate change, ever
- Biden has made huge steps, despite congressional opposition, in making education and healthcare more affordable
- The real estate and rental prices are local, and some of us live where our local politicians are at least trying
Yeah, Biden has done a lot of really good shit. The president only has so much power.
Fucking thank you. I agree with every single one of these things
Wanna run for president? I'll vote
Run, I'll vote for you, hell id run on that platform exactly if I had a few million for campaigning.
You did have someone younger. DURING THE PRIMARIES WHEN THIS DECISION WAS MADE. PAY ATTENTION.
Or perhaps you didn’t like the younger man’s decisions.
So then maybe age alone doesn’t hold all the answers to everyone’s problems as you’d have us all believe.
Who did you have on your primary ballot? Mine was Biden and No Preference
Your mom
I would vote for scops mom over biden
Primaires are over. That was the time to select the DNC candidate.
It's a joke. Not an analogy lol
Because for someone to get elected, they need more than just YOUR vote, David.
There are millions of voters that might agree with points 1,2,3 and 4, but don't think it's a genocide. They won't vote for your guy.
Millions more agree with 1,2,3 and 5. But your guys ideas on Healthcare is a non-starter. More lost votes.
See where I'm going here? Your guy didn't even say a WORD about abortion rights, immigration, gun laws, unemployment, inflation, global war and terrorism, technology threats, the economy, tariffs, and so much more.
It's not the DNCs fault. Do you know how the Republicans made abortion illegal again? They attacked it year after year, and nobody on the left defended it. We just sit in message boards passively crying "Give us a suitable candidate!!"
ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE.
that's our job. government is not going to solve this. wanna make change for the better? start training for guerilla warfare.
What are we as individuals supposed to do? I can only cut down on my polluting so much. My ability to do so is severely limited by the options available to me which are decided by corporations.
Especially cause it's a myth that regular people have all the power when it comes to climate change. Most of the issues come directly from factories that could be doing better to minimize toxic waste and pollution but instead they spend billions lobbying to make it okay.
Yea, I can cut down on my driving, try not to be wasteful, and look for less plastic packaging and all that but that all depends on what options are available to me. If I need something and all the options are in the worst packaging possible or they sell electronic garbage that breaks after a year because the company doesn't care then it's out of my hands.
Yea, at the end of the day my only solace is that I'm not having kids and neither are my siblings so I don't have to worry about the planet being fucked for them. Don't get me wrong i'll still do everything I can for our youth and I'm a punk at heart but I won't lose too much sleep over it.
Yea, I'm not interested in having kids either. Which now that I think of it is a pretty good benefit for the environment too as I'm cancelling out all my potential descendants emissions.
make the corporations scared of us/force their hand. hit their pocket books. make consequences for immoral CEO's. don't wait for government to do it. that window has closed.
start training for guerilla warfare
They weren't talking about blindly following the system. You won't fix the problem from inside the problem.
Guerilla warfare against who? The people causing climate change don't live in jungles.
We're really gonna civil war before breaking the two party system with Ranked Choice voting?
Oh course, the democrats are more important then stopping the civil war...
