    libs in this thread: “It’s completely fine that best reason to vote for our candidate is that they aren’t the other guy, this strategy definitely worked in 2016”. At this point I’m at least glad the liberal genocide apologists won’t be celebrating in november, gotta find a bright side somewhere.

      Ah yes, that old chestnut. ‘Yeah sure this other guy would probably genocide harder but he didn’t (because he wasn’t president) so we should suppress the vote for the old genocide dude to help the other old genocide dude who also hates that autonomy (bodily, electoral, legal) exists at all’. Very sensible, enlightened centrist, let’s gooooo.

        “We should teach the democrats that they can full throatedly support a genocide while abandoning the left of the party and still win reelection” Great long term strategy there chief.

        And I would think biden being a horrible candidate is doing a hell of a lot more to suppress the vote than posts on lemmy.

          It is, yeah.

          With Trump’s new King powers, I don’t think we get another chance.

          Um.

          Update your passports, people. Just in case.
