It's coming from right-wing infiltrators and smooth-brained tankies. They all hate Biden and the Democrats for very different reasons.

Its hard to blame people for becoming disillusioned and just noping out of politics with this KOSA bullshit. As usual, most of the time anything bipartisan happens its fucking awful.

Most people who are upset with Biden just are not voting or voting 3rd party. Also no one is asking Biden to be perfect.

They're the same people who insist that they were going to vote Democrat, but because someone on the internet was rude to them they have no choice but to vote Trump to "teach them a lesson".

And so-called leftists are enabling this kind of behavior because of their irrational need for perfection. A true leftist would know what's at stake here.

The difference here is that swing voters have now seen 4 years of both. I guess thermo are similar in the regard that both got hit with something out of their control in an election year. Trump with covid and biden with this mess in the Middle East.

Biden's already doing his best with what he has. And besides, haters will just shift the goalposts on him even if he does manage to successfully rein in Netanyahu.

The difference here is that COVID had a more dramatic impact on everyone including Americans. While what's happening in the Middle East is horrid, many voters are more concerned about issues that directly affect them.

He is still funding it, pushing Bibi Propaganda, saying that it is not happening. Attacking people who do all it out. - So like he is doing all that, so no he isn't doing the best that he can.

Then you claim people will move the goalpost. Like really .

This.

It wouldn't surprise me, if some of these people get fed with anti-democratic propaganda by russian bots. Russia and other authoritan states use social media to influence/brainwash parts of the population who are receptive for that. That way, they weaken democracies. This is why it's so important to fight against disinformation on the internet and to stronger regulate social media.

I've never seen anyone say this. On this board or elsewhere. I've seen people say they won't vote or they'll vote third party. You can argue those have the same effect if you want, but I've never someone who criticizes Biden from the left and declares an intent to vote FOR Trump.

The kind of person youre responding to is incapable of nuance. It doesnt matter if the person lives in New York where Biden will sleepwalk to victory or Mississippi where Biden will get curbstomped. To them, anything short of voting for Biden is voting for Trump.

It's the same shit as in 2016 when they were all "long-time fans of Bernie" who constantly derailed every topic with "but her emails," "but Killary," and "Bernie was robbed." Probably 9/10 of them were Republicans or Russian trolls, and the other 1/10 were gullible uninformed liberals who believe everything they read online.

Seriously?

Alright, please explain to me how all the subtle nuances of 3rd party voting will stop Trump from destroying America once elected. Or, how it'll even keep Trump out of office?

I'll wait.

In the end, Voting for anyone that isn't Biden WILL be helping Trump overall. Unless that person is already planning to vote Trump and switches to a 3rd party anyways.

It wont, just as voting for Biden in a state where hes already going to win or lose by 500,000+ votes wont.

I'll wait.
Explaining basic Civics to you wont take long.

No, it objectively will not in a state thats voted decisively the same way for the last three decades. Thats how the Electoral College works. This is why the swing states are the only ones that really get money and attention spent on them for the most part.

Theres an argument to be made that everyone should vote in down ballot races, as there are going to be far fewer locations where those will be decisive, but leaving the President blank on your ballot in New York will not help Trump or hurt Biden at all. That is just basic fact and objective reality. Period.

What you still don't seem to understand 8 years later is that the Democrats never had these voters. These were voters who were sick of politics as usual, who hated both typical Democrats and Republicans and who only got involved in politics in that election because they thought something different might be on the table. They were not traditional "leftist" voters, the far far far more relevant factor for them was newness and a "fuck the system" vibe. These were not voters that were ever going to vote for Hillary, the most likely outcome was not voting at all, followed by voting for Trump.

There's no evidence that there's any similar movement now because this isn't that type of election. Trump is not considered a wild card anymore, he's a known, terrible quantity. And Biden isn't nearly as hated as Hillary, even if he's not as popular as he was in 2020.
