I'm not here to prove anything to you and I don't really give a shit about your college level understanding of logical fallacies. I'm here for one reason and one reason only: To voice my disapproval with strike blocking, genocide supporting pro-corporate trash Joe Biden. Why? Because when he loses in 2024 people will clutch their chests and be like "Woe is me! How could this happen?? If only there was some way this could have been avoided?"

And that's when I'll gesture back at the thousands of conversations here where people said things like:

  1. If Biden wants my vote he'll stop supplying arms to Israel.
  2. If Biden wants my vote he'll promise to veto any attempt to block a strike in his next term.

And the thousands and thousands of replies just like yours coming up with all sorts of reasons to disagree as if it were up for debate. You know what will be missing? Any moderate going "Yeah you know what, I think Trump is a bigger risk than what would happen if the rail strike had happened." Or "Clearly beating Trump is the priority so Biden should stop supplying arms to Israel."

The fact that this is happening nowhere means moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives. And as the majority voting bloc for Democrats they will have the lions share of the responsibility when Biden loses.

I don't care if you agree with my narrative. All I'm here to do is make sure nobody can claim we didn't put this message on blast. Moderates will have no excuse.
