I’m not “giving up”, I simply recognize the situation for what it is. I’m a realist, not a delusionist. Our situation is fucked either way, and the only choice we have is laid out plainly in front of us. We have the option of bad, or worse. I know what I’m choosing.

You are giving up, regardless of your reasoning. You think good things are impossible and we should just settle for less bad things.

This only guarantees that the worst outcome becomes inevitable. You create a shield for Democrats to hide behind that allows them to ignore calls from their base, which in turn obliterates voter enthusiasm and participation. When no one shows up to vote for your cynical candidates you have no one but yourself to blame.

You need to join us in forrcing the Democratic Party to listen to constituents or Republicans are going to win.

Yes. 😊

The moderate position between medical science and ideology is still nonsense.

Puberty is life altering. My body was permanently changed by testosterone in ways that I can never fix and now I have to live the rest of my life with those scars.

Trust doctors.

"Pay us to not let the homeless starve."

Another boneheaded triangulation move from Biden. Stop giving ground to the enemy. All they do is use your compromise as a starting point to force further compromise. Give them nothing.

They'll have no choice but to go into the mountains and become guerilla fighters.

No, our option is to voice our displeasure and force the Party to capitulate to our demands.

Stop just laying down and letting them have their way with you. It's embarrassing.

EDIT I don't mean this to be an attack, but I just can't get over how peasant-like your mindset is. "All we can do is support m'lord and 'ave faith in his Court, ours is not to question." Why won't you even try to change anything? When did you give up entirely on the concept of politics? We need to rise up and resist, not meekly obey!

Same.

I don't care if y'all vote for Biden. Do what you think is best, and let me do what I think is best.

tbh it's mostly just a gimmick to excite voters, not just a luxury. The Party still basically picks who the nominee is.

There was a show primary but candidates were essentially stonewalled from participating and voters browbeaten for not supporting Biden, which is why only wackos like RFK Jr are the only other people who ran.

This is the choice that was forced onto us. The Democrats could have had a Primary and instead they chose this for us.
