Multiple of the people behaving this way have stated they are more interested in seeing liberals upset than anything else and also define liberal as 'anyone who isn't agreeing with me.'

This does not mean all or a majority of NoJoes feel that way. It is a small but vocal minority of the people who justifiably hate Joe Biden

I'm by no means a Biden fan, and I even understand and partially agree with the argument that things could very easily end up as bad in the end, but even with that knowledge I can recognize there is plenty to celebrate in the short term with Trump being out on his rear end. In fact, in a future with lots of terrible things looming on the horizon, it's even MORE important to be able to find joy in small victories, if for nothing else than your own mental health.

Yes, let's let hundreds of thousands more people die because we don't have a national plan to defeat COVID, so we can have an easier time in 2022.

A chance at taking power from the fascists in 2022 and 2024 is better than guaranteeing their victory at those dates. There is more time after 2022 than there is between 2020-2022, that's a pretty unavoidable mathematical fact.

Also please do not forget that Biden has said he won't be fighting the pandemic in the only ways that work:

To be fair, Trump did less killing than abandoning them to the whims of Turkey, the indiscriminate strikes probably did more damage to other populations

I've made dumber predictions and more garbled posts, but I actually meant Trump was going to get millions more raw vote than he did in 2016, not that he ever had any chance of overtaking Biden's pop vote.

Voting is the absolute minimum a person can do to enact political change. Are you planning on going out to protest Biden's crushing austerity? Are you going out to risk your personal safety to protest police brutality against racialized people?

Trying to rewrite the entirety of how the covid pandemic is pretty openly dishonest dude, you know perfectly well that the POTUS wouldn't have prevented it from going global no matter who was in charge.

Trying to interpret history through a binary lens is dishonest. Actively dismantling the CDC and various health organizations and having loving real estate developers run a response to pandemic killed more people than just about any other rational response. So yes: POTUS is loving responsible.

I'm not really sure if it would have any noticeable effect, they already call Biden the most socialist socialist since Stalin. Trump himself said that he's more socialist even than Bernie, multiple times.

It worked on Biden in Florida despite him being the most conservative Democrat who ran for President, but worked less well elsewhere. If you have a candidate who embraces the label, you are going to lose in a lot more places. Sure the average American couldn't even tell you what socialism is, but they are certain its bad.

I'm not making any claim about Trump's internal pandemic response not being garbage, I'm saying that Trump doesn't have that much of an influence on how other countries respond to the pandemic, it's really on them. There are countries who have it pretty much completely contained, Trump didn't manage to magically stop them from doing so.
