      Well said. Both Hillary and Biden had very lower voter-enthusiasm when people were surveyed… Even for dyed-in-the-wool Democrats. People like Obama or Bernie had high voter enthusiasm. If only institutions followed suit…

      I didn’t say you, I said “people screaming” about old. But you are screaming about charisma.

      The people that I see all over this site and who I’m referring to are the supposed logical people, who want the logical platform, and the logical (presumably left) policies, and then they will logically vote accordingly, and until then they will logically not vote because logic. They present themselves as the end all of logic.

      But then they turn around and say “but I want charisma for my emotions”. That is what I’m saying. Do you see how that doesn’t add up?

      For someone that seemed so offended that I said “people scream old” seeming to think that was aimed at you, you sure throw an absolute ton of stuff in my direction that I didn’t say (including your TLDR prod and PS attack). Like wow. I’m not going to throw them all back because honestly you seem intent on twisting and turning, because:

      I said it pretty clear at the start “This “we need someone charismatic and then we’ll vote” is the emotion for the supposed logical, informed, left wing voter, who votes based on policy (or lack of policy when they protest no vote).” but you went off on all directions. Ciao.

          Hey dude. I can see you’re really passionate about this, you’re not a propagandist or an agitator. You have your ideals and are sticking to them. I can respect that.

          But you just wrote a long, detailed, passionate defense of being stupid.

          I can tell you’re better than this. You’re obviously not stupid. I insult and jeer at a lot of people on lemmy because they’re fucking idiots, but you are obviously not one. You can be better than this. You don’t have to restrict yourself to voting based on vibes or Tiktok memes. I believe you have the mental capacity to actually do a few google searched (in incognito mode to trick the algorithm) and see what Biden is doing and has done. I believe you have the mental capacity to ignore the propaganda about “senility” or whatever else, if you choose to. Or the idea that Biden for some reason decides to not listen to his constituents.

          At the very least, I think you have the capacity to recognize that a lot of the anti Biden people are at best EXTREMELY politically uninformed and wonder if it’s a good idea to take cues from them.
