I think America would have a much healthier political landscape if people voted for party and policy over individuals, and I think being a single-issue voter is unwise and short-sightedPretty much this. The whole At least its not Trump argument is such a defeatist attitude.
But equally, "no matter who" is the sort of absolutist nonsense that drives the republican party, so I don't like that

In general, I agree. Right now the US doesn't have that luxury.
It is, but I also think ensuring Trump doesn't win really should be an imperative for left wing voters. Like it seems impossible to imagine how bad the world will be in 4 years time if he wins.Agreed. I just dislike it when any legitimate criticism of Biden is handwaved with that same attitude and youre accused of being a Trumper for saying something.

Theyre probably annoying while generally right about that sentiment
they are correct at this moment.this.

I think that's because of how dire the situation is. People are very scared that a criticism of Biden is leading a voter to not vote for him. In some cases, that is true.This and the fact that there's a lot of people acting in bad faith/trolling. So some do not want to give the benefit of the doubt.
If we weren't in such a tumultuous political situation, you would see a lot more intense debating among the left. Progressives vs. Moderates vs. Far Left sort of thing.
what do you think of someone who says thisI think theyre repeating what I told them to do.
i'd rather be fighting against biden than fighting against trump, know what i mean? i'm not a biden fan but i'd much rather he be the acting president i disagree with than trump be the acting president i disagree with.I feel the same.
That mentally is how DINOs worm their way in.DINOs get in because you dont vote for better candidates in the primaries.
other than the handful of elections with a worthwhile third party candidate who can actually win (but even thats such a rather case).I wonder if that manages to reach 1% of the total number of American elections.
Pretty much this. The whole At least its not Trump argument is such a defeatist attitude.It is also the only sensible way to vote right now.

Feddermann while holding a gun chased a black man down the road for jogging. And since he been in office has done nothing but show his ass. So naw.

The left is going to feel this way in 28, 32, 36. Its not like there will ever be a time when they feel comfortable with a Republican President.People keep saying that like this election isn't a little unusual.
they are correct at this moment.This, considering what the Trump-led GOP plans to do if he wins reelection.
Virtually every person I know that openly talks about politics and lets you know who they are voting for are the people who always vote completely down party lines. On yes Im going to say it, BoTh SiDeS. Its not like this sentiment will go away when Trump goes away. Itll be some other candidate and everyone who votes blue will still feel like its way too big of a risk to have a Republican President and democracy is at stake.Literally no one felt democracy was at stake every election before Trump ruined the country.

Modern day political discourse has become insanely binary.Because the Republicans made it that way. That's literally been their strategy for decades.
