Democratic leaders have stood by the president as he faces questions about his ability to defeat Trump in November. But privately, many are expressing concern.
Hopefully you can offer me a good enough candidate where I don’t feel like supporting the fascist. But if you go too far left, there’s a point where fascism doesn’t look as bad. No joke.
But the further left you go, the more points you lose out on me. I’m relatively religious (not the most compared to my family, but moreso than you guys I’m sure). I’m Republican, conservative. Etc. etc. There’s threats to me and my way of life that the far left seriously have, and nothing yall say here are changing my opinion on that (or removing said threats from me).
I would have preferred if the Republicans fielded Niki Haley, but apparently that was too hard for them too. So now I’m seeing who the Democrats want to field. Ideally someone I can vote for, because trust me, I don’t want to vote for Trump.
I promise you, there’s a ton of other people like me in the center who are thinking the same thing. The name-of-the-game is figuring out a candidate to keep enough of us voting Democrat this fall (not necessarily me, but hopefully enough to gain and counteract the loss of my vote).
I’m here to discuss my opinion with all of you openly, because I know that Lemmy leans so far left that yall are fucking nuts and need my opinion to tie you back down to where reality is. Believe it or not, I’m here to help, and that’s why we’re having this discussion right now at all.
This isn’t about just picking the most progressive candidate you can think of. Biden was the perfect choice for me and yall are now thinking of getting rid of him. Okay, so are you fine losing my vote? Or alternatively, do you think you can give me someone who is at least moderate enough (like Biden) to handle my concerns about the world? (IE: Ukraine and Taiwan in particular).
So you’re going to kill this discussion with me just because you don’t like my opinion? Cool. Lets see how that plays out this year. Its a fucking election year, get used to hearing people’s opinions you don’t like.
People will vote one way or the other on this issue. With any luck the Democrats put a good moderate on board who can keep my vote (as well as the Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia voters). Biden vs Trump already was looking sketchy before you progressives literally destroyed your best chance at beating Trump.
And suddenly, you’re blaming me for your own mistake… because I have the audacity to try to talk with you and share my opinion.
I’m sorry, that I’m not sorry.
In any case, Trump needs to be defeated, so I’m going to stay loud about my message. Yall progressives can’t Occupy Wall Street into Republican wins again this year. This is too important for me to stay silent. You fucking dumbasses are destroying your own election chances as we speak, and its best if I pointed out this before its too late. (And yall have done it before, and you’re doing it again).
If you really are going to switch candidates this late in the game, then for the love of god please put someone I can vote for (and other voters like me). That’s all I’m asking. Don’t lose the anti-Trump Republican vote over this self-defeating move you all seem intent upon inflicting upon yourselves. Please be at least a little bit politically expedient about the situation?
FYI: “Hey Fascist” is so passe it was in the Barbie last year. Its a bad argument now. Come up with a new one. You’ve been calling Republicans Fascists for 8 years now, the phrase has lost its effect. You’ll need to try harder if you actually want to convince people or surprise us.
Dude, your insult is so fucking old that there’s literally movies making fun of your insult.
It don’t work very well when you spam the insult for 8 fucking years. Yes, liberals think everyone they disagree with are fascists. You’re not making news here. Your overuse of the phrase is not helping.
Seriously, protip. I’m trying to help you here. I don’t care if you ignore me, because eventually you’ll get it. I’ve just got to push you so you are at least introduced to this concept of overuse of a phrase.
Bro: You are voting fascist.
Ideally not.

You’ve already given up the benefit of the doubt by admitting you’d vote fascist. I simply don’t believe the honesty of your promises.

Being verbose won’t un-say it…
For fucks sake man, I’m here to try to help you beat Trump
You’re lucky I’m not easily discouraged. But your attitude about this is quite wrong.
Everyone else in this topic: you see the problem with your rhetoric or strategy yet? Let’s point out what does and doesn’t work here.
What doesn’t work: trusting fascists to tell the truth.
Get fucked

You not being embarrassed anymore doesn’t change anything.
