    It’s really only the posts that are like: “I just cannot support genocide joe! If you vote for him you want to eat Palestinian babies!” that get this reaction.

        What you don’t like that Biden is singlehandedly responsible for worsening the student loan crisis, sky rocketing incarceration rates, and first to introduce what would become the Patriot act? Go back to China tankie, see how the incarceration rate is there!

    My God dude not this again

    • Healthcare, no idea what you’re talking about, is Biden bad for health care somehow now?
    • Biden’s corporate tax reforms swung Amazon’s taxes from negative $1.2 billion per quarter to positive $1 billion when they took effect at the start of 2023, and they’re currently paying $3 billion per quarter, a comfortable amount more than they’ve ever paid before. Here’s this year’s proposal of what he plans to do to build on top of that. Raising corporate taxes was most of how he funded stuff like the infrastructure bill.
    • Biden passed the largest single action against climate change in American history, although Republicans and Manchin blocked his earlier much more aggressive attempt.

    If you were just talking about him funding a genocide we could rock and roll about how right you are, but no. I get it though – including the other three is a necessary part in the propaganda equation because the accusations have to stay fresh and varied in order to continue hitting the right buttons to blend into an overall gestalt of badness to make it “feel” like there’s a groundswell of overall opinion that Biden is just bad on everything, if that’s the perception you’re trying to engineer.

    How many fucking times do I have to explain it?

    No one knows your chosen third party candidate exists, and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in November. Even if you did, they still wouldn’t win.

    In the last election, Biden got 50% of the popular vote, and Trump got 45%. Say for the sake of argument that if nothing else happens, 2024 will have the exact same spread. Suppose you’re the best campaign manager ever and manage to convince 2/3 of the people who would have voted for Biden, plus everyone who was going to vote third party, to vote for your candidate instead. (Given the current state of money in politics I should not need to explain why this is infeasible, but suppose it is.) Congratulations! Your candidate now has 37% of the nationwide vote. Unfortunately, that’s not good enough, because Trump’s voter base, who care not for your leftist policies, still gave 45% of the vote to him, and he wins the election.

    All voting third party instead of Biden does is make it more likely that Trump will win.

      You seem to think you’re explaining, over and over, how voting works to people who don’t know how voting works, but they do know. You’re enlightening no one.

        I have demonstrated that voting third party is inviting a Trump victory, yet these people who supposedly already understand everything I say insist that this is not the case. What’s not clicking?

    A reminder that the recurring joke in this movie is that Walter is always right, maybe with the exception of thinking Mr. Lebowski faking his disability, but for everything else he never really slips. As The Dude says, “You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole”.

    Smokey was over the line, and this is a league game, so the results matter.

    If you care about any of the things in this meme, and you’re urging people to vote against Biden, you’re going to have a bad time if you get your way.

        Yeah man, Bunny Lebowski actually was kidnapped and that was her toe. Great movie, forgot about that part though. /s

        Walter may be a moron, but he’s right about most of the things that actually matter to the plot.
