The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual
Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.
The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”
“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”
Mostly because other people already have echoed the exact same sentiment I would have, and I figured it wasn’t worth chiming in. However, as nobody has bothered to reply to you here, I thought I would.
Having said that, if you really want my view, I’ll give it to you…
What you explained is that you’re in a state Biden is likely to lose, and that to have any chance of him winning you think the DNC would need a much more progressive candidate. That’s a valid viewpoint…
However, refusing to vote in protest because of that is just plain stupid. For all intents and purposes, it’s a two party system, so refusing to vote for one party helps the other party - which in this case is Trump.
And as far as your question goes, they’re not mutually exclusive. I can blame the DNC shifting slowly closer and closer right in order to appeal to moderates whilst also blaming all of the protesters who think they’re just one person, who think their refusal won’t affect anything because everyone else will vote anyway - you act morally righteous when in reality all your protesting is doing is helping those who’d do far worse.
And that brings me to what you haven’t explained, at least not to me - how can you refuse to vote Biden because of him continuing funding towards Israel whilst knowing that the person your protest would enable doesn’t just want to continue the very same funding, but also openly supports Netanyahu in his genocide!
You’re either acting as a useful idiot cutting your nose off to spite your face, or knowingly trying to disenframchise the people who would vote for Biden. Neither is a good look really.
You make it out like you’ve got a galactic brain, 1000 IQ, incomprehensible opinion when in reality it comes down to either you vote for the future of democracy, or you do nothing and doom it whilst moaning that we should’ve all done better.
If NH had primary delegates, I’d believe you.
But only state republicans can change the law that NH goes first. So if you’re worried about the future of democracy, you might want to pay more attention to who you’re voting for.
Because it’s looking like the DNC won’t let NH have a say anytime soon, and I seriously doubt they’ll be the only ones.
Hell, half the states haven’t even voted in a primary before people start calling it over.
The system doesn’t work, and it hasn’t for a long time.
If everyone always votes D no matter what, shit will keep getting worse. There has to be standards
