I just don't understand the pro-Democrat party crowd's strategy. Why do they insist on keeping Biden as the Democrat candidate when that clown keeps nuking it's own odds of winning more and more everyday with his stupid shenanigans? If the peoples who keep berating everyone to vote for Biden see Trump as some sort of ultimate threat, why do they insist on using a candidate that even they admit is hated by most of his own voter base against Trump? That sound like a terrible strategy to me. Shouldn't they be mad at the Democrat party for taking such risk by insisting on a candidate so widely despised? Why don't they call for a candidate that is actually likely to beat Trump? Why do they keep berating the folks who have made it clear that they won't be voting for Biden under any circumstances when the over 60% of the Americans who don't participate in politics are right there?

I see Trump as an ultimate threat to all sorts of things, and I DON'T insist on Biden at all. I'll vote for a chimpanzee if it's not Trump.

I honestly feel like not casting a real vote against Trump is voting for our future to be Handmaids Tale and patting yourself on the back for not supporting evil, when for all practical purposes you just did. It's an abdication of civic responsibility in the name of nebulous principals that will have no effect on the future of the world and no chance of playing a real role in meaningful policy, but you do you.

The fact that the DNC and Democrats in general are a bunch of privileged, out of touch, self righteous assholes is NOT my fault. I hate it and I hate them. But there's a lot at stake and many MORE people in this world will suffer, struggle and die under Trump than under Biden. It's just math and all your ideology is VERY empty in the face of it.

Then you live in a failed democracy and your only option should be systemic regime change. Viva la revolución.

Agreed. But we live in a failing democracy in which the religious / fascist revolutionary forces are better organized, better armed and better funded. So starting down that path is unwise.
