My whole life I have seen the far left in America whine and throw a fit every time their candidate doesn't win the nomination, and then, because they are like little children, when they don't get all of what they want, they don't settle for 75% of what they want, instead they vote 3rd party or sit out the election so that they get none of what they want when the Republican is elected.
Now mind you, when the far left's preferred candidate did win the nomination: McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, they lost by a landslide every time, but for what ever reason, they seem incapable of learning anything.
So ****ing what if Biden had something nice to say about William Barr nearly 30 years ago. It doesn't change the fact that Biden, on his worst day ever, is still an order of magnitude better than despicable Trump.
Ask yourself, why do minorities not throw these childish fits when their preferred candidate doesn't win the nomination, its because unlike you, with your privilege, they have actually something to ****ing lose if Trump gets reelected.
#1: Biden won't give us 25% of what we want, nevermind 75%; get out of here with that absurd nonsense.
#2: Your nonsense 'but muh McGovern' spiel is as tired, ridiculous and inapplicable now as it was months ago, particularly given your selective misinterpretation of their losses as being wholly or chiefly predicated on their political agenda as opposed to the factually more salient reasons underlying their fatal personalities, gaffes and sub-par campaigning. Meanwhile, your precious ****ty centrist candidate literally just lost to probably the worst one the Republicans have ever fielded as the Blue Wall flipped on her, while her centrist colleagues in the party under centrist leadership lost the House and Senate wholesale in a historic blowout, and now, fresh on the heels of that, we're going to war with a guy who smacks of early stage dementia whose campaign wholly subscribes to the same 'referendum on Trump' strategy that failed so egregiously before. It truly is fortunate in some ways this is all set to the backdrop of COVID-19, because otherwise we wouldn't have a hope in hell. Moreover, that someone holds 'far left' and revolutionary/populist policy views is in no way inherently linked to electoral failure; see FDR.
#3: Whether or not Biden is better than Trump, and I would submit that he is, the fact is his track record is on the whole pretty heinous and should be dredged up, discussed and frankly regarded with the contempt it deserves.
#4: You don't know **** about CMPancake, so don't pretend as though you know he doesn't have something to lose.
#5: Your 'far left' (see, actual left), a term you love to throw around in order to delegitimize those you disagree with, is the rest of the developed world's centre to mainstream left.
By the way, I probably will hold my nose and vote for this election's establishment shill again, and while I certainly don't agree that Biden is as bad as Trump, or that there's no substantive difference between the two, I'm frankly sick of seeing people like you try to bully Sanders supporters and others on the
actual left with this sort of vapid, disingenuous nonsense should they be less than persuaded to get behind today's quadrennial corporate whore, which is exactly what Biden is, has been, and will be.
