How can you so easily surrender to this pack of idiots?
How can you be so dogmatic that you would rather run a failing candidate in complete public free fall rather than attempting to do whatever is necessary to save the country from the crypto-fascist psycopaths that want to destroy secular society for an entire generation at best.
You may be okay with Biden and the DNC repeating 2016, and giving it the "Aw, golly-gee schucks. We did our bestest" on November 6th. I, however, am not. Fuck every single part of that. You either don't give a shit, or you don't understand how stupid the average person in this country actually is. Biden is not going to win, no matter how much you want to wring your hands and cope. It is time to pull the fucking rip cord, and do whatever is necessary to win.
Its not a few articles. NYT has done nearly 200 articles and editorials on Biden bad debate and continued coverage of same subject/him being removed.
Like, its a full course press to push a specific narrative, they learned nothing from 2016 and the disproportionate coverage compared to Trumps authoritarianism-- both in debate and in general, is complete bullshit, a "But her emails" 2.0 being spearheaded by dogshit CNN and NYT.
I want to be clear I don't think questioning Biden is a problem--he's performed shitty lately. If you think he should be replaced, thats reasonable, ill support whoever the dem candidate is regardless.
I'm talking about endlessly covering every bit of minutia on this while generally ignoring Trumps fascism. Mainstream media is a major part of the problem.
