“Not Donald Trump” is how we got Donald Trump. “Not Donald Trump” was 75% of Hillary Clinton’s ad content in 2016. How’d that shit work out?

Republicans can and will make a list of Biden’s horrible record that will rival Trump’s. Just because CNN and MSNBC won’t cover it doesn’t mean it won’t be effective. It also won’t make it untrue.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil and we can see the results empirically over the last 40 (60?) years.

· 2008: Obama runs on single payer, but fights his own party to make sure that we don’t even get a public option

· 2016: Clinton says single payer, “will never, ever come to pass”

· 2020: Joe Biden says he’d veto M4A even if it got through congress

Lesser of two evils means we’re going backward. Real US wages haven’t risen since Reagan. Joe Biden was in the Senate all that time — fighting against people of color, women, students, and the working class. Basically the 99%. The man is in clear cognitive decline.

Lesser of two evils means the DNC cheats its voters vis-a-vis Bernie in 2016, and cheated its voters even more in 2020 with even less media coverage or discussion. If you reward that shit with a vote, you are asking to be cheated on even more next time.

The Dems are now brazen enough to cancel elections. Who’s the lesser evil again?

If you give your vote to Biden and the Dems, you are giving your vote to the abuser who tells you directly, “Where else you gonna go, honey? That other guy is worse than me.”

I’m done with abusive relationships. I do not need a fucking “placeholder abuser” who you claim is only “better” because he’s (so far) been accused of fewer sexual assaults and is possibly less racist than the current racist asshole in the White House.
