2 quick questions for you. Considering no 3rd party candidate has ever won. Stood a chance of actually winning. Or even regularly broken double digits in polling. If enough non Republican voters disalusioned and don’t vote or vote 3rd party. Who will win.
Assuming you can be honest enough to answer such an obvious question. While also assuming that you’re honest enough to acknowledge that while Democrats are very flawed and problematic Republicans would absolutely be worse. By trying to suppress the Democratic vote whose water are you carrying?
You misunderstood me. I’m saying that even if blue is obviously better than red, you can still criticize blue. You can criticise a party and still vote for it.
But this community (like most American communities in my limited experience) seems to think that criticizing blue automatically means endorsing red. At least that’s how I interpreted the downvotes. And that kind of thinking only strengthens this dumb divide into only two political camps.
Critique is fine sure. This wasn’t critique. The post is outright lies and misrepresentations. Ironically the only critiques existing anywhere in these threads are the posts under it critiquing the main post. I’m no fan of Biden. I’m not looking forward to voting for him. But I am damn well going to vote for him. Because all alternatives are worse. We don’t need to make up shit about him to critique him on. And valid critique can only come from valid complaints.
You’ve been here as long as I have basically. It’s possible you haven’t engaged much in these communities and therefore are unaware of the situation. But Ozma is a known quantity. Highly dishonest lying and manipulative. And not someone who should be defended. Someone who is rightfully being called out in a number of their other posts by other people. I’m all for sincere debate and critique. And right now no one is trying to squash or eliminate critique in these threads. They are the ones critiquing.
