Anyone to the left of the DNC leadership: constructively criticizes Joe Biden
Biden stans: You love Trump, donāt you?
On the other side of this, what I find really common is anyone who acknowledges the reality of how the US voting structure works is seen as a Biden Stan
āHey maybe we should just elect the most popular candidate instead of potentially not electing the most popular candidateā
āHAHA LOOK AT THE LIBTARDā
Nothing wrong about acknowledging the reality of the system being a broken dichotomy, of course.
Iām talking about the people who shut down all valid criticism with the ābut Trump is worseā whataboutism or āstop giving Trump ammunitionā as if anyone sane didnāt already know Trump is awful and as if the Mango Mussolini wouldnāt just make shit up regardlessā¦
If you think voting the DNC will fix anything YOU donāt understand how the US voting structure works
Eating wonāt fix cancer, so donāt bother.
My guy: sometimes you do things to prevent new problems. Making nothing better still beats making everything worse.
Thatās because itās a common argument of Biden stans. Itās pretty telling that they canāt think of anything good to say about their candidate, so instead itās this stuff.
Thereās a lot of good and bad.
Bad - Supporting Israel financially, forcing the rail workers back to work from their strike, his environmental policies seem half hearted.
Good - Forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, having his cabinet work with the DEA at reclassifing weed while promoting the idea publically, putting billions into Urban reconstruction to help cities become less dependent on roads and more accessible for the least fortunate.
Itās more nuanced than heās great or awful. Heās just better. As it often ends up coming to in American politics.
As an aside I long for multi choice voting.
Yeah, but people also have blinders as to how the actual voting structure works. If youāre in CA/NY for dems or AL/MS for repubs, your vote basically doesnāt matter since those places will go blue/red no matter what, so youāre 100% free to vote for the person/platform you actually like! Any insinuation that you might vote for someone other than Biden is met with immediate scorn and ridicule.
