What kind of argument is this? "People talking about the current election are ignoring an option that hasn't existed for 4 years" of course they're not?! It's not an option any more! The meme perfectly represents the idiocy of anyone trying to take any kind of moral high ground by not voting. America has made its bed, it sucks but no amount of idealism can change the practical options available to you.
It's funny you pull the whole "ackshually I never said that" but I never accused you of taking the moral high ground. I just said the meme perfectly captures the idiocy of people taking the moral high ground. You lumped yourself in that category.
Where are those people? I don't see them on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit or here. Millions of people voted for him in the 2020 primaries. Are they ashamed of their choice? They should be.
Millions voted for him? So like, 3% of the country? I'm not surprised you don't see those geezers on here. Personally I see a lot of Biden/Harris bumper stickers in my city. Usually on cars driven by sentient piles of dust
There are next to no 70+ year olds on here to be stroking themselves over this. Most of us young people either didn't vote in the primaries or voted for Warren/Bernie. It's the old voters that choose our candidates because not enough young people can be bothered to vote in primaries... :(
Because the responsibility IS at the feet of us young people. If we could be bothered to actually vote in the primaries it wouldn't matter who the boomers chose.
Unfortunately no one is going to change their minds by me rubbing their nose in the shit they just made. They vote for him because they believe in whatever he stands for. They're too scared of spooky socialism to vote for anyone that isn't a centrist anyway.

We are the victims of their inaction for sure, but that doesn't change the fact that boomers gonna boomer. We can counter that we just need to get people to see how important primaries are.
I just don't see how we could possibly convince neolib boomers to not be neolib boomers.
Joe Biden has won ONE state in all 2020 primary and general elections where there was a major party candidate that was running below the age of retirement: South Carolina, and that was because everyone skipped it in preparation for super tuesday.
The other 99 contests either Biden lost or everyone still running was over 65.
"It doesn't matter that we made terrible decisions that got us here you're now morally obligated to vote for our strike blocking genocide supporting candidate!"
I'll ask the same question I always do when someone accuses me of being a troll: where do you think all those people who voted uncommitted in the 2024 primaries are? Do they have zero social media presence?
Stop voting for shit candidates in the primaries. This is non-negotiable.
