    I’m gonna let you know right now that shaming people who don’t vote for Biden is not a winning strategy and never will be.

    Also saying Republicans are fascist and democrats aren’t only appeals to liberals. Lefties fully believes both parties are fascist so that argument doesn’t work either.

      just for the record i’m not shaming people for how they vote, i’m shaming people for believing that there is some form of altruistic meaning in whoever you vote for. There isn’t, there isn’t a way to win, the entire point of voting is democratic compromise, you shouldn’t feel like an in group, you shouldn’t feel like an outgroup, you should feel like a contributor, because that’s what you did. You contributed.

      The rest is fair enough, but i wasn’t going to interject a complete political paper into a comment about how voting is fucked up. Regardless, it serves it’s purpose. Also i don’t fully align with your interpretation of my statements, i bunched center leaning moderate types into the “swing voters” people who regularly change who they vote for because they generally don’t care. This often leaves people who consistently vote for republican/democratic presidents. So most of who would be left is going to be maga/far right people, i.e. primarily trump voters. I don’t want to say most left over democratic voters are going to vote biden, because i think there will be a significant upset, but i think it’ll be most voters that end up voting for biden, like i said unless the third party gets like 30% percent votes or something, nothing unusual has happened.
