Facts. You can't make them do shit. Some people don't and won't care. All you can do is outnumber them. /shrug
Show up and do your part.

Educate people on how fucking important the Supreme Court and the Lower Courts are, because you are all FUCKED for the rest of your lives if Trump wins and he gets 1-2 more Conservative Judges in the Supreme Court... and that's without even mentioning the hundreds of Judges in the other courts.
If it's still around in Nov (I don't see how it isn't with this admin) we need national, automatic Vote-By-Mail registration for all registered voters. Because this makes sense it won't happen.One interesting point is that if COVID19 is still around, mildly intelligent people will be rightfully hesitant about exposing themselves at voting stations, and conservative idiots will just brazenly go out and endanger themselves and their families.
Sigh.
i have no faith in a man and a party who railed against a public health system during a fucking pandemic. so yeah. eternal fuck to the democratic establishment and their wealthy donors.
you don't need to be in love with a candidate to dethrone trump. I'm just waiting for the sitters to realize that.Trump's already won 2020, you may as well get yourself used to it. There just isn't the level of a leader like Obama or JFK or Bill Clinton to rally and inspire opposition, Pelosi's miscalculations and Biden's gaffes are probably going to end up increasing Trump's winning percentage giving him a mandate to do whatever fuckery he thinks up next.

You had that and no one voted for him, the end, he is done, now it's time for you to vote trump out.

Because I knew Bernie was a pipe dream, and I'm not going to contribute to helping people fall in love with a candidate that was never going to win and thus grow the base of bitterness.This response from OP is relevant:
Speaking of which, OP, why aren't you angry at everyone who failed to vote for Sanders and gave us a monster like Biden instead? Is this just about tribes to you?
(Don't worry, I'll hold my nose and vote for the "lesser" evil again this November.)
The comments trickle out. A campaign of "Biden sucks. Vote Biden (except I'm not going to)!" really just isn't going to win.Additionally it partially matters where you're seeing these comments. People sitting out California or New York aren't going to do shit because their state's delegates are essentially already decided.
But how come the other side can just get behind this shit stain but over here on the flip side we can afford to be like "nah....I'm good"
we can't afford to do that when we have to deal with a whole nation of people that circle the wagons around him. Yeah this isn't about NY and Cali, but this is about everyone else.
I keep seeing this pop up, but how do we know Biden wouldn't put conservative judges into the court? It'd fit his modus operandi, quite frankly. He has promised to nominate a black woman, true, but it isn't as if being black or being a woman inherently prevents someone from being conservative. And there's still more than one person to put on the court. Frankly, the courts were lost in 2016, failing one of the conservatives suddenly stepping down or dying.Educate people on how fucking important the Supreme Court and the Lower Courts are, because you are all FUCKED for the rest of your lives if Trump wins and he gets 1-2 more Conservative Judges in the Supreme Court... and that's without even mentioning the hundreds of Judges in the other courts.
Just thinking about 7-2 decisions should scare everyone into fucking voting.
I mean, there are genuinely only a small percentage of anti-Biden voters even in the progressive wing of the party because a great deal of the left understands harm reduction at the very least. There was next to no difference in exit polls between those who said they wouldn't vote for the nominee between Biden and Bernie supporters, so this is almost entirely a fearmongering thing as both sides of the party seem pretty much in unison, and the key idea behind this election and primary seems to be "Beating Trump." That's what we're seeing greater voter turnout for more than anything else right now and that's the issue at the top of their priorities in voting come November.
But if the DNC and Biden want the genuinely further left people to come along, Biden needs to tack further left and speak to those ideas more often. The issue with the Democratic party is that it's a massive tent and that people have standards and lines that they're not always willing to cross. There are left leaning people (and independents and even lapsed Democrats who have voted Republican more recently) that are not sold on the idea of "Return to normal" because "normal" wasn't great to begin with for many of them, and Biden isn't as individually popular as some people on here may believe (He isn't hated as much as Clinton was in 2016 by any stretch of the imagination, but he tends to do much more poorly outside of the standard voting Democratic party such as Independents and his relationship with Latino-American voters leaves much to be desired). That's why its harder to unite the party at the moment because Biden isn't exactly an inspiring candidate for a lot of people.
Like people will vote for Biden come November because, again, most left leaning people understand risk management and harm reduction, but I don't think there is ever going to be much of a "coming together, uniting" beyond that general turnout to beat Trump. You're just never going to see this massive big tent party move in step like the Republican party beyond defeating Trump... and largely these divisions will fracture once Trump is beaten and there's less of a desire for "unity" between the sides.
I see people threatening to sit out the election if their nominee does not win or make it to November.
Quoted the wrong person.
Well, it's hard to get excited to go out and vote for someone when the candidate being propped up by the Democratic establishment is this guy.
It SHOULD be, but the reality is there are a lot of people who absolutely fucking love everything that comes out of the president's mouth and a lot of ignorant people who don't pay attention to shit much. Granted, nobody knows how this pandemic will change political calculus in this country but traditionally I'd argue that yes, you do need an exciting candidate.Yeah but we really need to stop with the whole "excitement" thing. Frankly the notion of not continuing to gut the environment, deny climate change, commit ethics violations, potentially completely repeal ACA, fuck the education system, weaken our response to basically any crisis - that should be enough to mobilize people. Especially with a good VP pick we can undo a lot of damage and make progress. Anyone who sits out because that's not "exciting" can go fuck themselves.

Democrats asked for it by propping up Biden. I will vote, but it will be symbolic and not for him or Trump. Fuck it.
Yet he's doing just that...Trump has it in the bag because Biden is by far the most boring and unispired candidate that has come around in years. I can't even imagine that senile moderate rallying people to the polls lol
Democrats shooting themselves in the foot again. Nothing we haven't seen before.

The trumpers still think the disease is a joke. They will be at the polls sneezing and licking door knobs. Count on it.The good have to stand up and outnumber the bad.

Trump is far more popular among Republicans today than he was in 2016.We're a bubble. Trump BARELY BARELY beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, the most hated Democratic candidate. People LOVE Biden and don't look at his gaffes in the same light as we do. Fight like hell, fight for your loved ones lives, but it's not hopeless.
