Your hurr durr raisin brain level of analysis seems to miss that I actually want Biden to win.

I just want him to actually make the job of getting him elected fucking possible instead of doing shit like this:

Yet strangely you focus on Biden instead of his opponent’s stance… Your hypocrisy is showing.

Bidens opponents stance is irrelevant. You smooth brains keep painting this as if its a choice along a spectrum.

No one who would is voting for Trump is going to vote for Biden, and no Biden voters are going to move to Trump. Maybe an irrelevantly small portion, but so small that we can and should ignore them. The voters are locked into their preference, but they aren’t’ locked into showing up yet.

Both candidates are competing only between themselves and staying home. Both Trump and Biden are in a race to the bottom to see who can convince more voters to stay on the couch in November.

Maybe someday you’ll develop some semblance of political acumen to actually understand how and why elections are won in lost, but if you have any, you and the rest of the apologists sure aren’t showing it. We’re in an age of populism. The center did not hold. Obama was wrong. You win elections in a post 2016 world by people out to vote for you. Its not that complicated.

Biden’s opponent in this election isn’t Trump.

Its Biden.

Around 7% of all votes cast are swing voters whose presidential preference by party is unpredictable election-to-election. Surely a teensy, tinsy amount. Nothing to worry about. I’m sure US presidential elections aren’t decided by much smaller percentages.
