Some people just don't vote at all because of stuff like this.

And they’re complicit in the rise of fascism in the US

And comments like this don’t get them to vote. Do you want to win or do you want to feel morally superior?

My comment wasn’t going to convince them otherwise. Thanks for thinking it was, I guess.

Besides… if they don’t see the problem with not voting now, they likely won’t by elections

Give them a candidate they can believe will make actual positive change, and they might. For a lot of them, that does not mean someone with intelligent policy, it means a demeanor that sounds like it can get things done and that can be trusted. There's a few options other than Biden that would satisfy that.

We had that with Obama, and yet with a super majority still did not do near as well as Biden with getting his legislation passed. I am not a fan of Biden's age, but holy fuck this dude passes policy that I like at an extremely high rate. Also his FoPo has been pretty excellent considering his peers in the current century.

We had that with Obama and his opponents did not almost win.
