I’m personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it’s entirely Biden’s fault that people don’t want to vote for him.

    American Liberals seem to hold pretty much everyone in that same regard because almost everyone is an enemy in potential. With Liberalism imploding away, Liberals hold that both leftists and republicans should die for ‘voting against their interests’. An actual fascist demanding mass murder is in that sense not at all different from a socialist who demands that the right to abortion be codified in law - because the corollary there is that once the Liberal Party refuses to do so it must be punished.

    This leftist belief is in accordance to what Liberals ostensibly want and believe in, both in the sense of wanting abortion codified and trust in representative democracy. So the only way for Liberals to square that hole is to twist everything into itself. It’s not that Biden is a genocidal maniac who was once one of the people in charge of a Liberal Supermajority that did absolutely nothing. It’s that the political opponents of the Liberal Party are too dumb to understand politics.

      The “voting against their own interests” line is so bankrupt. They’re currently arguing people should vote for the dude supporting a genocide on their families.

      …and regularly get persuaded by pundits not to pick a candidate who aligns with their ideals because that “wouldn’t have broad appeal.”
