Swish baby nothin' but net. Been voting with the very best of intentions my entire life and things have only gotten worse, steadily, for the last decade.

So there's people that claim it's a moral imperative to vote for Joe Biden merely because Donald Trump, someone else, is a fascist. Why doesn't Donald Trump being a fascist create a moral imperative for Joe Biden to credibly propose some good policies in order to get votes?

Skeptical vote in 08 against McCain more than anything, didn't vote in 12 because gently caress Obama forever, terrified of losing my medicaid so I voted in 16, certainly not voting for the guy who made it impossible to get out of my student loans unless I'm declared totally disabled, which is virtually impossible.

I'm voting because we've got a ballot prop that would eliminate cash bail, which is cool and good. Definitely not checking any boxes next to Joe Biden's name though!

don't even go there. something like:

"trump is a fascist and has been molding the republican party and its supports in his image. what will joe biden do to address the rising fasicm in this country? if he refuses to address things like our concentration camps and the increasingly radicalized right, the only thing that changes by voting for joe biden is that trump's fascism becomes fascism we voted for"

My line is that Biden may be the lesser evil for Americans, he is almost certainly not the lesser evil for the world at large and so I cannot vote for him

When you put it that way, someone would have to be an absolute monster to pull punches when running against the greatest threat to American Democracy ever. Just a piece of poo poo to not really lean into firing up people to vote for you and against the menace. Not willing to do a few popular things to win this. I mean, I've been NoJoe for a while, but thinking about it this hits hard. All this cracking and pinging done made my brain calve a mindberg.

I had the experience of growing up conservative, then whip-lashing hard into socialism in the span of a year or two, so Obama in '12, then Jill Stein in '16, and probably Howie in '20.

No, I got that. Biden says he shouldn't have said that.

Give it a try some time. Bust out in one of his aggressive catchphrases, then follow up with one of his sheepish ones.

It is a tough pill to swallow, but it provides a massive shift in worldview. It is like living in a 2d world and suddenly having a 3d vantage point. Certain "obvious" things to 2d people are revealed as preposterous from the 3rd dimension perspective.

I think it pretty much already is.
At least until some new information comes to light that can reboot the conversation for a week, and then those new ones will become probatable because they didn't like the font on the news article.
