      Yeah. I was gonna say, I wouldn’t really agree with the first one but all the rest of them sound great. There needs to be a final panel where 3/4 of the little neon blue people are setting off to start to get some shit done.

        The first is, in practical if not absolute terms, unfortunately true as long as the Republican Party is the only alternative in a race. Unless the Democratic Party gets suddenly very, very worse, or the Republican Party gets better (ha!) or dies off completely, “Vote Blue no matter who” is a correct, if tone-deaf, exhortation.

        It’s just that if you actually care, you have to be doing more than that.

          Yeah, fair enough. I still like some individuals who have ® after their names but I won’t really argue with you that anyone who’s still a Republican politician at this point is okay with the Nazis coming to power, and having them in office will help it happen a little bit.

    “We should change candidates”

    “We should vote X Y Z”

    “We should…”

    [Meanwhile all the maga-cultists fapping on Trump’s photos.]

      It’s almost as though parties who pick popular candidates instead of people who finish 5th in the first two primaries because Obama tells them to have an easier time winning elections… weird.

    Edit:

    • improved wording a bit

    Protestors are way more direct.

    They will not vote for genocide joe.

    Some even go as far as saying they will be voting for a 3rd party, if you believe the polls.

    On the street talks with people (IRL) have also shown a decrease in support for Biden.

    It may remind some of 2016 when comedians, people that travel around the country for living, were seeing this first hand; certain orange person being a populist.
