People are braindead if they don't vote Biden again. Sure we don't want him, but do we want Hitler 2.0 instead? Because Ron Desantis is a preview of that if a Republican wins. Biden will then be gone next time and we'll have a younger candidate. Sadly, voting takes time. Remember that it took decades of this shit for Republicans to steal the Supreme Court.
I agree with you, but the point is that we could have had a candidate people could get excited about, instead we have a candidate whose biggest selling point (as you yourself say) is "not Hitler 2.0"
Any real leftist movement is quashed by design as evidenced by the rampant fascism holding us hostage...IMHO.
I remember John Kerry ran as "Not Bush", and I felt like a large part of Hilary's campaign was "Not Trump". Running as an opposition candidate instead of a candidate in their own right, almost never works.
That "lesser of two evils" logic is what allowed this to happen. Next time it'll be some other boogeyman on one side and the other side will say "yeah, our guy sucks but you could have other guy if you don't vote for our guy"
They never get around to the important job of making sure their candidate isn't shit. The only thing to do is to actually let it burn down so someone useful can rise from the ashes.
Having one third of the population consistently not vote is what causes this to happen. The democratic voters vote at a much lower rate than do Republican boomers for example
