    I’m reluctantly voting for Biden. And I don’t need your validation to do so. This heavy-handed approach of forcing people to vote your candidate generally has the opposite effect.

      Who’s forcing or being forced? You’re not a victim of voting oppression because someone suggest you do the right thing and keep a rapist traitor out of office.

      Reluctantly do whatever the fuck you want- or don’t. But anyone here rusts suggesting that we don’t vote against a tyrant is here in bad faith and needs to be called out for what they are.

      As I’ve said- if this doesn’t describe you-

      THEN I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

      So how about you take a deep breath and stop white-knighting for people that are using your platform to disrupt an election.

        is here in bad faith and needs to be called out for what they are.

        Which is it? Do whatever you want, or needs to be called out?

        Again, the enemy is both strong and weak.

          Do whatever you want- AND take the risk of being called out.

          You’re not exempt from criticism for what you decide to do, or not do- but for now, you’re free to do it or not.

            So, I can vote however I want. Unless it’s different than what you chose. Then, you get to endlessly berate me. Are you a car salesman?

              Says the person that endlessly berates people for who they are voting for.

              We’re done man. You’ve buried yourself deep enough to satisfy my need to call you out.

                You: Jumps into the ocean, yelling, “Everybody out, there’s a shark in the water!” 💦

                Me: Throws you a life preserver. 🛟

                You: “That’s okay, I can’t swim.” 🏊‍♀️

                  Why do you feel the need to make up fake dialogue between you and the people you disagree with?

                  What’s wrong? Is reality not suitable enough to support your bullshit that you need to fabricate conversations?

      Oh ya, Trump is oozing with honey, that’s why he has so much support.

      No one is “forcing” anyone to vote for Biden. They’re just me being coddled when they say Biden is bad so you should let someone significantly worse be in power.

      The time to complain about Biden not being good enough is during the primaries, and the 3.5 years between elections. People need to accept reality that this coming election is between Biden and Trump, and no amount of complaining about Biden will change that.

      Yes, absolutely complain that Biden isn’t doing enough and push him to do more. But this rhetoric of “I’m not going to vote for Biden so that the US can burn to the ground under Trump” is childish.
