    If I was Biden and I wanted to make sure absolutely everybody under 35 didn’t vote for me, first thing I’d do is genocide.

    If that didn’t work, then I’d restart student loans.

    If that didn’t work, I’d ban Tiktok.

      As a person down voting this comment to the person writing the edit: give me a better solution. Tell me what I should do. Just for you, I’ll play the sheep. I’ll do whatever you tell me if it guarantees I’ll get a president who respects everyone, manages to end all wars while proffering an era of unmitigated peace and enlightenment, and gives me access to affordable education. Please, give me that option, because if you believe some third party shitbrick is gonna do the trick, you are more diluted than the right wing nuts you rail against. Anyone, and I mean fucking ANYONE, who downplays the importance of keeping Biden in office is a fucking conservative shill, bar none. You can not in your right mind believe that shit talking Biden and ignoring the obvious alternative is even close to a sane course of dialogue. I’ll hold Biden accountable for his transgressions, just like I would anyone else, but please don’t tell me there is some win scenario that doesn’t involve in him office for a second term, because there isn’t one, no matter how hard you try to justify your bullshit.

        Pressure Biden to do the things he needs to do to get elected. Voters are gonna do what they’re gonna do. You cannot shame millions of voters into taking an unpaid day off to vote for someone who has told them through his actions that he does not and will not represent them.

        Trying to silence such analysis just helps the DNC maintain the delusion that they can win while standing up to the very voters they need instead of doing what they are telling the democrats to do.

          Pressure Biden to do the things he needs to do to get elected.

          That ship sailed two years ago. The time for shittalking the incumbent is over.

          Voters are gonna do what they’re gonna do. You cannot shame millions of voters into taking an unpaid day off to vote for someone who has told them through his actions that he does not and will not represent them.

          Ahh, spoken like a true shill. Keep on preaching that not voting for Biden is somehow better than voting for Trump.

          Trying to silence such analysis just helps the DNC maintain the delusion that they can win while standing up to the very voters they need instead of doing what they are telling the democrats to do.

          Again, that ship has sailed. And since I’m using sailing metaphors… If you don’t like the direction the ship is sailing, change it, but don’t wait until you are in the middle of the battle to do so, that will just get people hurt. Infighting on the eve of the election will do nothing to help your cause. At best, people like me will see you are some lunatic grasping for the helm and tell you to fuck off and do something productive. At worst, you’ll convince a few others to join you and really do serious damage to the ship. Either way, we are all on the ship together, and it is far too late to try to change course. There is no escape from this battle, and if you want to commit mutiny, then by all means, but shut the fuck up and find your own way to the brig because I have better things to do than babysit you fucking morons who think they can do better by sinking the ship. We can all do our part to bring the DNC to task, but AFTER November. Doing it now is only going to hurt people, and I’m not talking in metaphors now. Your actions–your righteous indigence–will literally get people killed if the GOP takes back the Presidency. Abortion laws are only the beginning, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is only the beginning. They’ll throat fuck their fake god down all of our gullets and smile for the camera while they do it, and if you think that you don’t have anything that they’ll come after, you are wrong. They’ll find a reason to hate you, and when they do I hope you can sleep well remembering how your words and actions now brought about all of this. Traitor.

            Nobody is saying the captain needs to be replaced, we’re saying stop sailing directly towards those fucking rocks. No matter how hard we paddle, Biden cannot win the muslim votes he needs if he is facilitating genocide of muslims. He will not get the young votes he needs if he bans tiktok after restarting student loans.

            Nothing we can do can change this. Only Biden can.

        See, that’s the kind of thing where you gotta probe; do you hate the butchers of Libya and Yugoslavia for 100:1 laws, slavery, neoliberalism, and sex crimes, or due to Hillary being a woman, emails, her awful personality and disdain for the lower classes, and whatever comparatively superficial things that get the hogs worked into a froth?

                Well liberals don’t hate the Clintons, and the left hates them for passing racist laws and supporting the prison industrial complex, bombing Yugoslavia and Libya (and sharing responsibility with Obama for all the countries the US bombed during the early 2010s, and the 2009 Honduras coup), 90s sanctions on Iraq, estimated to have resulted in a million excess deaths, mostly of children, bombing a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory, there’s a lot more, I mean he was president during the 90s and she was secretary of state under Obama, there’s so much ghoulish shit they’re proud of.

        It’s not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.

          I think the people who will be negatively influenced by a TikTok ban - Don’t vote.

          The old people who vote. Already hate the TokTik and the ForkKnife.

              Uh huh. And do you think the young people who vote, not just talk about voting - are strongly attached to TikTok?

              I know plenty of people who will be pissed off about TikTok ban and all are them don’t vote. They don’t fuckin shit with their lives to improve it. Why would a TikTok ban change that.

              I know plenty of people who do vote. None of them are going to pick a literal dictator because oh no - I have to get my shorts fix from YouTube or Facebook now.

      They are the second bit. They’ve been going hard on saying anyone who won’t vote for Biden is actually a bigot who loves Trump and wants a domestic genocide.
