    Precisely, we go through this propagandistic scolding campaign every four years. It furthers the interests of the status quo. There are so many reasons to not vote for Biden in say, Florida, where there is absolutely no chance for him to win. And this is just one particular reason/instance among many. We should be building solidarity with leftists and attempt to pull popular political discourse to the left and far away from the corporate demogogs that keep the two parties in power. Alas, liberals punch left because that’s not an easy binary thought. It is a destructive mentality.

      I won’t be voting for Biden in my state (not Florida) because he stands no chance to win here. So why should I back a genocidal horse who will lose here anyways? Fuck Trump and fuck Biden. I will vote for Claudia De la Cruz or Cornell West here. Their voices matter and should get more air time, but corporate america controls the media and the conversation. Hence why this shame scolding propaganda sits here.

        Only propagandists or the politically ignorant would say that.

        Biden has a chance in every state.

        Consistently & nationwide polling has been off by 9+ points in the Democrats favor since Roe V. Wade was overturned.

          OK. I wish that were an accurate summation but Biden is not going to win in states that always vote red. This is really wishful thinking that polling now is accurate, but when November ballots are filled, the States that vote for Biden and Trump will remain largely the same. Thanks for griefing (politically ignorant). JFC.

        People who don’t want Trump in office outnumber people who will vote this year. If everyone voted, Biden would have a chance in every state
