Current Events > We shouldn't vote for Joe Biden

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's just the pick a bunch of rich people in the DNC club manipulated up to the top because he'll be good for their agendas.

He's literally one of the forefathers for the current problems we have with police brutality.

Everyone says we have to vote for him because he's not Trump.

When did internet users turn into a bunch of mindless drones that listen to rich white boys clubs like the DNC?

We should all get together, pick a great progressive canidate. Then push everyone to vote for them.

Why do you all think we have to pick either shit or worse shit?

Why can't we all get together and pick someone great?

I certainly ain't voting for Trump.

We know. The country is fucked. We have always known.

Because that's the system we have. I wish it wasn't Biden either, but Trump has to go.

"Everyone says we have to vote for him because he's not Trump"

Yes, because that's true.

He's a boring, milquetoast left-leaning centrist. And that's precisely what we desperately need.

You can't wait for another once-in-a-generation politician like Obama, you have to vote for the most qualified. If you don't vote, then you shouldn't complain.

The internet isn't a bunch of mindless drones. There are, however, millions of people who aren't internet regulars and they vastly outnumber the consensus of the internet so "getting the whole internet together" amounts to nothing in the end.

See: Bernie Sanders

But the Third option! All internet gets together and we pick our own canidate! We make our family and friends pick them too!

We don't have to keep this stupid rich bpys club two party different sides of same coin system.

Because no other candidate can win. For all the forumgoer disdain for the main candidates, the democrat majority has already decided on Biden.

78.2% of Americans regularly use internet

I don't get why anyone would defend Biden.

Sure i'm voting for the piece of shit, but it's only because the alternative is trump.

I can't understand the logic behind his ardent supporters. Do they actually think he's a great candidate, or are they just being disingenuous and lying about how they really feel about him.

I don't think Biden has "ardent supporters." Very few people wanted him to be the frontrunner by the middle of the primary season.

But Biden's biggest strength is that he's boring, as amazingly bizarre as that sounds.

How would you make and ensure that your family and friends vote for them?

And how many of them are content with either Trump or Biden?

The only reason Biden is our only choice is because you all, already give up without even trying.

Just 2-3 twitter trends with a progressive canidate for the people with everyone flipping to vote for them, and we could kill the committees, once and for all.

Bruh. "Bernie Sanders would have been a surgery that cuts the tumor out without long-term damage."

Immediate disqualification of their analogy. Bernie Sanders would have tanked the economy.

OK Bot.

the system has been designed since Ross Perot got into the debates to make sure it never happens again and that no third party can ever challenge the main parties. both the republicans and democrats made an agreement like 30 years ago to ensure that only they ever have a chance. the two party system will never end without a massive revolution

I voted for Bernie in the Primary here, but I have to accept that it's going to be Biden.

Chemo is actually a trick by big pharma, it makes them insane amounts of money and has less than a 10% success rate.

My mom had late stage cancer they said would kill her no matter what and only chemo could save her. I fought with her for months and finally convinced her the chemo would kill her more than cancer would.

She got radiation and surgery. Was told she would die sooner because of no chemo and doctors made her sign saying she knew.

Its 18 years later now and my mom is 100% fine and completely cancer free.

The system doesn't work that way.
The popular vote does not matter.
The electoral college does not have to vote based on what the popular vote is, it's suggested that they do but the don't have to.

Should be noted with chemo they saud she would get to live a few more years.

Only live*

If Biden wins, thats as far to the left as we get in our lifetime. If AOC loses next week, I predict a Biden victory.

In a perfect world other parties would have a chance at being elected. Sadly too much of the American population has it ingrained in them that Democrat or Republican is the only way to go. A movement to get the other parties on equal footing is something that would take years to do, it's not something that can be done before this election.

I sure as hell am not voting for Biden, a better option must be chosen.

Why do you people want to talk about Biden and trump every day? Doesn't it feel like a waste of time?

Chemotherapy, and indeed cancer itself, is far too complicated to make generalized statements like this.

Your mother was one case.

But the reality is there are some cancers in which chemotherapy is quite literally the safest and most viable option for cure. CML and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Breast cancer and estrogen receptor antagonists. Etc.

It's like saying "my brother wouldn't have died in a car wreck if it weren't for his seat belt eviscerating his abdominal organs."

Can a seatbelt itself cause injury? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean seatbelts themselves are some kind of conspiracy.

He's a boring, milquetoast left-leaning centrist.

He's a fucking Republican who signed up for the wrong party, was Strom Thurmond's sidekick, voted against desegregation and gay rights, told rich donors "Fundamentally nothing will change.", and much, much more.

Oh, and get this: he wants to work with Republicans and thinks they were such good boys before Trump came along. What the fuck was he even doing as VP besides creeping on little girls?! Not paying attention to the fuckers obstructing Obama every step of the way, that's for sure.

Biden is a shitstain of a human being. The only chance we have of removing Trump is to sink Biden before he's nominated so the DNC has to pick someone who actually stands a chance and not the biggest corporate whore willing to step up. Because all the shit Bernie could have rightfully attacked him on, the GOP propaganda machine will instead. And people will turn on Biden the more they learn about him.

Do you really want to see how scary Fox News can be when they can weaponize the truth for once?

Bernie was the correct answer. Both in 2016 and 2020.

If Queen Hillary couldn't beat Trump, what makes you think any other establishment Democrat can? She was the strongest of them all. Oh? You think Trump is weaker this election? Even though he's an incumbent and he is losing no real amount of support since his cult is still going strong? Oh please.....

John Kerry wasn't offensive in any way. Yet, he couldn't even beat a bona fide war criminal simply because he didn't energize the left. Elections are glorified popularity contests.

because those 2 men represent a battle to decide the fate of this country

If trump gets reelected he might be the final president in US history. either because our nation falls to dust or because he turns himself into an Emperor and dissolves the presidency

And I seriously doubt his mom was late stage either.

Biden is popular. Hillary was not. And yes Trump is weaker. he has bled support for his entire term as president. he has only a fraction of the fans he had in 2016. all that is left are his most loud and loyal fanboys.

Anyone who can even attempt to justify not voting for Biden in this next election is a Trump supporter, as far as I'm concerned.

It's like saying "hmm, death by volcanic pyroclastic wave or a stale McDonalds cheeseburger?"

Don't question George Lucas and his bad writing. I'm sure it was intentionally hypocritical, because George Lucas is a visionary who can do no wrong and Disney ruined Star Wars or something.

A Bernie presidency would have been 4 years of him declaring "war" on Congress the second he doesn't get everything he wants leading him to losing reelection to Mitt Romney. There were better candidates than Biden, Bernie was not one of them.

Remember when the UK had an election and some of the citizens were whining about how the results went mostly right-wing despite all the Twitter trends being overwhelmingly left wing? That's all the proof you'll ever need that Twitter does not represent an accurate view of voting outcomes.
