"I dislike that Biden didn't 100% endorse the party line, he only kinda did with some caveats. Looks like I'll be voting for Donald J Trump, the better leader for this country, this time around."

I mean... I doubt that's super likely.

The next debate should be conducted entirely through tweets. Moderator asks a question, each candidate gets 280 characters to make their case. I'm 99% sure that leads to a better debate.

Nothing involving Twitter will ever be good

I think perhaps a slightly more charitable characterization might be being mad that a bunch of people came by in a big yacht, torpedoed the nice life raft, then threw a shittier one down and drove off while yelling "you should be thankful!"

Do you really think Sanders (who is notably not that great at debating and has a tendency to repeatedly return to his stump speech when flustered) would have done any better against Trump's bullshit tsunami?

The lovely life raft also has a blue lives matter sticker on it and has repeatedly bragged about how it destroyed the better life raft and will not take you where that life raft was going.

People are mad that the life raft they’re being thrown isn’t going to stop them from drowning, and the people causing the need for the loving life raft to begin with are responsible for sinking/letting others sink the boat to begin with.

Imagine watching that debate and thinking there is even a choice here. Joe Biden loving sucks but the alternative is, I don't even know what the hell that was.

"I am the Democrat party" Joe isn't going to listen to any of us and I'm not going to be fooled into thinking he will.

He doesn't care about global warming, doesn't support M4A during a pandemic, and certainly won't be reforming the police or reigning in wall street.

He hasn't said, or done, anything to deserve my vote.

And the life raft that could've saved us fell off the boat and is at the bottom of the ocean. Maybe if we sink a little more, we'll get closer to that raft.

Uh excuse me sir, but you should be grateful for getting the chance to vote for the very guy who helped gently caress up enough things over the decades to bring us to Trump.

You need to vote for the guy who left the hen house open to get rid of the wolf in the hen house!

Imagine after watching that debate that you think your vote can change anything at all. Biden stood on that stage and told everyone he wasn't going to do anything. Defeating Trump doesn't even pause the clock on the death of America, much less set it back. Biden will continue everything that brought us Trump 1, and we're still going to get Trump 2. Nothing can stop that at this point. America is already dead

Look, one side threw a red painted anchor at us, and then another side threw a slightly lighter blue painted anchor, and then some guys in a leaky sailboat tossed a green life jacket and I'll take the life jacket thanks. But people are super mad that we're not grabbing the lighter anchor because really don't we want to drown more slowly really we should be realistic about this.

So let's sink a little more. And in four years, we'll sink a little more and be even closer. And in ANOTHER four years, we'll sink more and be almost there! Holy poo poo! Think of far down we'll be after that! It'll be amazing!
