        Yeah that’s the thing about authoritarians; they don’t have a problem with the boot, they just want it to be on the other foot. No better. Different axis, but the political compass looks more like a triangle than a square to me.

          Oh noooo authoritarians who use that power to build affordable housing and transportation infrastructure, break up monopolies and capitalist machinations which gouge people trying to pay for food and healthcare. No please noooooooo. Let’s keep fighting this because it’s no different from pedophile billionaires destroying the planet. /s

                    Run a moderate man and win every goddamn time, like we usually do?

                    Hell, we even managed that one with a black dude…whose named sounded like our mortal enemy…twice. Just had to be somewhat in the middle so as to not scare what’s left of the Boomers and X-wits.

                    My dude, the Republicans haven’t won an election without cheating since Eisenhower. Literally, not a single one.

                    You want to run a far left candidate into that propaganda-bubble buzzsaw, have at it. You’ll lose 40 states, both houses of Congress, and what’s left of our civil liberties, but at least you’ll get to feel smug for 6 months.

            A vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries wasn’t a vote against Trump it was a vote against leftists and a dice roll against Trump.

              Yeah it was totally that and not because Biden, as former VP for a popular President, got credibility across the political spectrum as a safe choice after four years of President TMZ and All Those Rapes.

                  What’s crazy is you think this makes you clever.

                  It doesn’t. It just shows you’re unreasonable and incapable of understanding context or nuance. In other words, you’re either literally 15 or you’re mentally 15.

                    Give me a break. You know exactly where I’m going with this and so you cut it off and call me a teenager? Have a bit of self respect and admit I’m about to prove my point.
