      Some of us live in states where our votes conveniently don’t matter. I don’t give a single fuck about performative voting. I care about winning, and Joe Biden is not going to win.

          The popular vote is an important legitimizing factor in elections.

          Yeah, that sounds good, but ultimately it is fucking meaningless. I’m all for the popular vote compact, but that isn’t reality right now.

          If your logic is that the end result is preordained

          It isn’t preordained. I am working off the available evidence, and every single piece of available evidence is that he is going to fucking lose. Joe Biden staying in this race is dooming this country, and when he loses I hope he is punished for his hubris.

              I absolutely understand. You are in your feelings. I am living in reality. The electoral college is all that matters. That is what determines our elections, and is what will determine if we are able to sustain our strained democracy. When Biden loses the election and wins the popular vote you can carry all the water you want, but Trump will still be president.

                  So January 6th bad, President Putin and VP Trump is perfectly normal?

                  You’re concerned about legitimacy of government, functioning and its continuation while ignoring that there is a brain dead corpse that just gave a speech. That same brain dead corpse is running the world’s largest military, and can’t even form a cohesive sentence.

                  BlueMAGA has a new meaning tonight

                  Jesus fucking christ man. You are out to lunch. I’ve followed every single part of the political process in this country since I was like 11 years old. You are pissing me the fuck off now.

                  I watched January 6th live, I watched 9/11 live, I watched the invasion of Iraq live, I have diligently paid attention to every historical moment in my lifetime. The vast majority of the people under 50 in this country already think the government is illegitimate. It does not, and has not ever worked for them. The popular vote changes nothing. If you think it does then you are deluded.

          maybe you shouldn’t be voting in any election where the difference between victory, tie, and defeat > your vote.

          PugJesus, encouraging people not to vote.

      Yes, yes I fucking do. And I don’t feel bad about it anymore. You should.

          You should be ashamed to vote for that. To force that abhorrent excuse of a barely conscious individual onto the world stage to represent this incredible country.

          His campaign is over. His money is going to dry up and we’re going to be stuck with a fascist because you can’t nut up and make a difficult decision. Fuck!

              You don’t seem to be comprehending that the campaign is over. People are not going to vote for him. You can’t make them.

              And distilling the complexities of American leadership and our standing in the world into fascism vs. dementia is just naïve and simpleminded.

              There is time, but we need to move quickly and decisively. There is no time for nostalgia.

            You’re never going to break through the Blue MAGA brain rot. They are too far in denial. The grip of the sunk cost fallacy is too strong.
