Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    Running Biden enables a trump victory.

    Votes enable or disable a victory. Everything else is abstraction.

        Which, you know, is effectively impossible. So it’s a throwaway vote. And you’ll counter that you’re in a red state anyways so Biden vote would be a throwaway too.

        But then what you’re actually doing here and elsewhere is pushing the agenda for others to actively not vote for Biden; which, in other places, is absolutely not consistent with voting against Trump.

        You are privileged enough to not have to care whether Bad or Worse gets elected. Must be nice.

            It’s way too late to genuinely campaign for that result. You know that.

            The next thing that happens from here is that either Biden or Trump get elected. There is only one way to meaningfully vote against Trump. Anything else signals either plain ignorance, or a disregard for those those who would be affected more negatively by Worse than they would by Bad

                so they run someone electable on the ticket

                The primary already happened. We’re past that now.

                If you don’t need my vote to win then what do you care?

                What do I care about what, specifically? Your individual vote? Not much.

                Your campaign to pull voters away from the one scenario that keeps Worse from beating Bad? Because its ignorant at best and malicious at worst.

                    We’re not past that. He could step down, the convention could choose someone else.

                    You know just as well as I do that those aren’t real possibilities.

                    Keep patting yourself on the back and pushing for Worse over Bad. I’m sure it feels great.
