Last I checked Biden was the presumptive nominee. If somebody else is the nominee, I will probably vote for them. I don’t understand the issue here.
As of today those are the options. If it changes then great. But whining on lemmy and calling it a “critique” isn’t going to make that happen.
THEN OFFER A SOLUTION. GIVE AN ALTERNATIVE.
FFS I am so tired of this. It’s a critique with no idea what to do instead.
Here are the 4 options
Vote Trump
Vote Biden
Vote 3rd party/independent/write-in
Don’t vote
What do any of these critiques do to change this? Are they saying to not vote Biden and do one of the alternative 3 options? What’s the end goal here?

As somebody whose ADHD expresses as compulsive talking, I feel you to some degree lol
I apologize for my kind of dismissive tone in the previous comment that was uncalled for
Yes yes we’ve all seen 13th lol you know what I meant. I am acutely aware of what you’re describing. I live in the on again/off again incarceration capitol of the world.
Party realignment happened, so the current republicans are not really “political descendants” of the party that ended slavery.
Still point taken lol
So any time I see a rant/comic like this (which is functionally a rant), all I can think is “a lot of your problems would be solved if you just communicated with your friends.“ I see this a lot with D&D and TTRPG’s in general.
If they are your friends, then they will understand that things feel hostile and playing board games is not fun with them as a result. If they don’t, then maybe you need to consider your taste in friends because most people can handle “hey I can’t keep up can we slow down,” and it would be pretty wild for someone to get upset at that request. I imagine that is not how it happens for most folks but I could be wrong and just have exceptional friends and unrealistic expectations of social interaction lol
Also: you don’t need to have a full grasp of the game to start playing. Most games you can understand like half of it then just jump in and play a round or two to get your sea legs where people are just talking through the best moves and options because that is a great way to learn how the game plays, and then once everyone is comfortable then you go for “a real one.”
I’m actually very much of the same mindset as you. For instance, I often frame QAnon folks, particularly those who are not on YouTube profiting, as victims. Something is wrong in their life and a bad person sold them incorrect solution, but a solution all the same.
What publication is this from
Then neither is Trump, are we seriously doing this dance? Are you going to keep acting like they aren’t functionally the matchup already?
