Yet another reason Biden must not win in November, as we cannot allow this kind of moral degeneration to be rewarded.

I'm fine with primarying centrist democrats out in safe districts. :shrug:

Cool, but why should I, a California voter, who doesn't feel represented by Joe Biden (or Dianne Feinstein or whichever right-wing Dem is on the ballot), waste what little leverage I have on a candidate who is already going to inevitably win in my state or district? Why not give my support to a third party, in the hopes that they'll cross that 5% threshold, get public funding, and then force the Democratic leadership to court their voters for a change?

Imagine four candidates on the edge of a cliff. Say a vote against the candidate nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of candidates and takes the polling position of the first candidate. The formerly first candidate becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth candidate loses the election. Electoralism works the same way.

Considering the state of the polling it seems that, as of now, a landslide of people are ready to crawl across broken glass to vote for Joe to defeat Trump. Considering that, I think it's just fine if the small minority who can't bring themselves to vote for Joe exercise their vote in a different way.

A couple of months ago one of the Pod Save guys had a nice thought that I liked: If you can't personally bring yourself to vote for Joe but recognize that he still needs to beat Trump then vote how you need to, but consider helping Joe win by volunteering some time to phonebank or canvass for his campaign. Best of both worlds, for those who can't personally vote for Joe.

I'm gonna presume that this is directed at the people who have been provably willing to canvass and phonebank like hell, i.e. fired-up socialists and other leftists, and not at Biden's supporters, who seem content to just lap up polling data that shows they'll win without needing to do something so gauche as actually do some work.

instead of voting for a senile segregationist rapist who considers your life a valueless coin, to be discarded solely on grounds of inconvenience, you can beg other people to vote for him

this is a choice you can make, and believe yourself moral for having made, on the grounds that at least now the camps for reducing the surplus mass of humanity on grounds of their melanin count won't be run by a dang cheeto

Why in the gently caress would I phonebank for a credibly accused rapist? I'm not trying to be abrasive but you're basically dismissing the complaints against Biden as nothing, as something people can just get over or work through. No, they're loving deal breakers.

How have you missed the loving point so bad? The problem with Biden is that people like you, who "didn't want him", are willing to give him a pass instead of demanding he be replaced, out of some "higher calling" of defeating Trump. It's not just about withholding my precious vote, it is that I am actually repulsed by the man Democrats have had consent manufactured for.

e: Then again, it would be typically liberal to expect everyone to just immediately and absolutely compromise their core beliefs to work in the middle. As if your only problem with the left is that they have standards they just won't discard. If my problem with Joe Biden is that I don't think he's fit to be president for any number of reasons why would I canvass for him? I don't know what that podcast is but it sounds like idle bullshit ensconced in a bubble of cognitive dissonance.

It honestly speaks volumes about the Pod Jons and their audience that they would rather disappear up their own assholes about how people whose material needs have been utterly removed from politics to the point where voting is pointless and are completely disenfranchised should go out and volunteer for Joe Biden instead of asking their own listeners to sully themselves by canvasing or phone banking.

Look, I know you don't feel like voting for a credibly accused rapist who opposes M4A, but have you considered doing all of our work to get him elected instead?

It really seems like liberals were expecting leftists to fall in line (because Bernie told them to) and do all of the actual work needed to get Biden elected. I haven't spoken to a single liberal who is ready to phonebank for him.

When’s the last time you listened to it? How much have you listened to it, in hours, if you had to approximate?

I haven’t listened to it at all in months but I’m pretty comfortable listening to anybody talk poo poo about Trump. If they’re interviewing some Pete Peterson flack or something, yeah, that’s different.

I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

From a leftist perspective, it matters why and how you're talking poo poo about Trump. Some anti-Trump narratives or statements are actively harmful long-term. E.g., he's too easy on China, he's not bombing this place enough, he half-assed the attempted coup in Venezuela, etc.

Also, by itself "talking poo poo about Trump" does not make you part of the Left, even if you think you are, which is key to Ytlaya's statement.

I say all this without having listened to more than four minutes of PSA, and having zero desire to do so. (Podcasts aren't really my thing, but even if they were, there's a long list I'd have to exhaust before I'd even consider listening to this one.)
