      Why more subtle? I already told you multiple times I’ll be posting election news articles through the general. Why are you surprised?

        Is there a reason that most of your political posts are just Biden-bashing tho?

          I’ve explained it many times already. The anti Trump articles are posted almost immediately here so I don’t post them. They already have anti Trump articles covered.

            I mean, the anti Trump articles are literally “Trump team claims he can kill people as president” and “Trump says he wants to be a dictator” while Biden stuff is “man without direct power to do thing doesn’t do thing he can’t do” or “Biden is anxious about the thing that he should be anxious about.”

              Yes. Correct. Like Trump said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Ave and nothing would happen to him. We all already know the crazy shit he says. What’s the purpose of pointing it out when his base doesn’t care? Other than Dems saying “oh wow Trump said something crazy again!” no shit…

                It’s being posted because it’s extremely concerning when it’s coming from a presidential candidate. Are you saying we should just not mention when Trump does yet another batshit insane thing? Just “oh yeah, Trump said he was going to shoot a puppy but that’s just normal for him so we don’t bother talking about it.”

                  Post all the anti Trump articles you want. Trump is merely a symptom of the massive problem that is our political system.

              You’d rather stay ignorant in your Biden bubble and not know that he’s doing really bad across most demographics? Or would you rather be informed and push Biden to fight harder?

                Nah I’ve got you tagged for this too. Biden has to be supported at this point, my life and many others are absolutely on the line. Defeating trump, trumps any and all concerns about Biden.

                  If you actually cared about defeating Trump then you would want to know which areas Biden was doing poorly in and help get him to get voters off the couch. I’m gay too and I cannot just sit by and hope “but Trump” works this time (it won’t). Voters need to be informed, motivated, and active.

                    Nope, politics is won by messaging. By constantly hand wringing about flaws your echoing his critics material. We all know his weaknesses, echoing them over and over only weakens the messaging.

                    Point is your just echoing the criticisms, which undermines his strength as a politician even if he isn’t anyones favorite, he’s still a good Democrat who is old school pro union, which is honestly more beneficial and fundamental to democratic power than anything.

                Absolutely this is the case. A lot of democrats are going to think that they’ve got this in the bag because “Trump is worse!” They’re want to live in echo chambers and think that Biden is doing great because the other option is too scary for them to admit to themselves. And anyone that prods that cognitive dissonance will be yelled at and shouted down with cries of “Russian bot” and “You’re helping the fascists”.

                Meanwhile, Trump republicans and “normal” republicans (is there such a thing now?) are all rallying behind their God King, and everyone “in the middle” (i.e. uninformed people that don’t keep up with the news, and what they do know is surface level at best) just sees a doddering old grandpa vs a charismatic flimflam salesman.

                I want to enthusiastically support Biden. It would be great if he were earning my support. But his behavior and campaigning are forcing me to merely reluctantly hold my nose to vote for him.
