"We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not."
That's gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I've heard in a while.
But the Anti-Biden folks will be able to tell the next generation that they "stood up for their own ideals!" Sure, they won't have prevented any genocide, and they will have put the party into power that is currently trying to set up a fascist theocracy, but they can go to sleep knowing they have personal integrity!
The other side of this being someone saying "we're not going to legislate anything that will help you, and fuck you for asking, but vote for us because we won't actively genocide you" which is not really a great selling point but yeah at least we're avoiding the worse stuff.
It's a bit ironic that it's always "Vote for Democrats or democracy dies" when that setup is inherently undemocratic, since your vote can't go anywhere but the single choice that lets you still have a vote
This is exactly what I thought when I read that. What kind of "recalibrating" do they think they're going to get to do with a christian fascist lording over the country?
I can't help but have conspiracy theory thoughts, like this is some kind of conservative campaign. It's hard to rule anything out anymore, and the idea of muslims voting for trump is just that fucking stupid.
Or you could actually hear them out rather than discredit them. Biden is killing their families in mass right now. You want them to think about how Trump might hurt them later? Which is actually happening now? Does making Biden think he will win encourage him to stop participating in the war crimes that he’s being referred to the ICC for?
