Since you’re only 34 I’ll start cutting you some slack.

I wasn’t here in January/February so I don’t know who support(ed) who. I thought you were making a general point about Warren voters.

You know the former probably has to do with her taking employment and listing herself as a former press secretary in her profile

There were two polls and it went from Liz and Bernie being the leaders with Liz maybe having a slight edge to Bernie being way way out in front in a pretty short span - right when Liz changed the way she talked about M4A and had that choreographed feud with Bernie.

In 2002 I was a dumb fuck college student and it was clear as day to me the Iraq War was bullshit. Anyone paying even a little attention knew by like Spring 2002 they were going to invade Iraq, and that it was all bullshit.

There’s no “meh, let’s talk about down ballot races now” option

Same for me as a dumb fuck college student only it was the Gulf War that was bullshit at that time.

It’s irresponsible to endorse a rapist. Time to take you out back old man.

I don’t know about that. When the choices are a rapist vs an even rapey-er rapist, going for the lesser rapist is arguably the responsible thing to do.

One could always vote third party (non-rapist)

You could, but by not voting for lesser rapist, you’re helping greater rapist more than you would be than if you vote for the lesser rapist.

I feel like Biden might be a tip of the iceberg rapist at this point. Trump is a fairly fully vetted rapist

True, but I’d be shocked if Biden’s ultimate iceberg ends up bigger than Trumps known iceberg. Biden has run for president a bunch of times and has been a major political figure for decades. The chance of him hiding a Trump-sized iceberg after all of those years is small. Unless, of course he decided to really ramp up the raping post 2016.

Biden has been basically publicly invisible since MeToo. When he was running, the public didn’t care about rape. I’m expecting an unreal oppo dump over the next 6 months.

The argument for America 2020 is seriously to vote for the lesser of two sex offenders? No. Fuck off. Not voting.

Sitting this election out is unconscionable. Get your shit together and vote for Biden. This is not fucking complicated.

Trump’s getting 10s of thousands of people killed from the virus. Biden will have competent people around him.

Even before that it was not complicated. Biden sucks, so sit it out and let Trump win? Cool, go tell AOC she has no shot at running in a remotely free and fair election for president. This election is to save what is left of our democracy, so maybe, just maybe she has a shot. It’s to save lives and prevent injustice, now with a pandemic sprinkled on top.

Anybody left of center who can’t manage to pull the lever for Biden is either a selfish asshole of the highest magnitude or a massive idiot, or both.

Get a hold of yourselves, people.

I am very likely not voting this year. The real question is whether or not I actively encourage others to also not vote.

Sorry, not sorry. I’ve heard these arguments for years and I reject them. I’m not playing this fucking game any more.
