    Lol neoliberals are stroking themselves about how clever this is and just out of view there was another choice back in 2020.

    But they like to ignore the fact they voted for a geriatric, procorporate genocide supporting candidates in the 2020 primaries.

            Where are those people? I don’t see them on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit or here. Millions of people voted for him in the 2020 primaries. Are they ashamed of their choice? They should be.

              Millions voted for him? So like, 3% of the country? I’m not surprised you don’t see those geezers on here. Personally I see a lot of Biden/Harris bumper stickers in my city. Usually on cars driven by sentient piles of dust

      What kind of argument is this? “People talking about the current election are ignoring an option that hasn’t existed for 4 years” of course they’re not?! It’s not an option any more! The meme perfectly represents the idiocy of anyone trying to take any kind of moral high ground by not voting. America has made its bed, it sucks but no amount of idealism can change the practical options available to you.

        I never claimed any kind of moral high ground. You’re inferring that all on your own.

        And I will be voting but I won’t be voting for a strike blocking genocide supporting candidate.

          It’s funny you pull the whole “ackshually I never said that” but I never accused you of taking the moral high ground. I just said the meme perfectly captures the idiocy of people taking the moral high ground. You lumped yourself in that category.

      they voted for a geriatric…

      Joe Biden has won ONE state in all 2020 primary and general elections where there was a major party candidate that was running below the age of retirement: South Carolina, and that was because everyone skipped it in preparation for super tuesday.

      The other 99 contests either Biden lost or everyone still running was over 65.

        “It doesn’t matter that we made terrible decisions that got us here you’re now morally obligated to vote for our strike blocking genocide supporting candidate!”

        No. I won’t be voting for Biden, Trump or RFK.

          “We”? I’m not even from USA … And I doubt many Lemmy commenters voted for biden in primaries.

          Put your big boy pants on and stop whining when people point out that you are wrong morally on a given issue.

          Sometimes life isn’t fair 🥲😲

      I love how the right and their trolls have picked up on the fact that neoliberal has become a dirty word and is trying to weaponize it.

        I’ll ask the same question I always do when someone accuses me of being a troll: where do you think all those people who voted uncommitted in the 2024 primaries are? Do they have zero social media presence?

        Stop voting for shit candidates in the primaries. This is non-negotiable.
