Oh and if you want a neat conspiracy theory around it, look at who is directing Pelosi's moves in the background..

Writing in Bernie.

Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden.

 

[IncredulousP]

Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden.

Joe is too conservative for me personally.

I'd prefer Sanders over Biden, but I also prefer Biden over Trump. Writing in Sanders (or anybody else) means you don't care who wins between Biden and Trump.

True. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but if they wanted my vote to count then they shouldn't have axed Bernie.

To quote a post you recently liked:

We're not just voting for Joe Biden. We're voting for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's replacement.

That should be enough for any progressive voter to vote for Biden.

but if they wanted my vote to count then they shouldn't have axed Bernie.

Who are "they"? Because Biden earned the Democratic nomination because he won a majority of votes from Democratic Primary voters, not because Sanders was "axed."

If your goal is to punish anybody who didn't vote for Sanders in the Democratic Primary by personally not voting for Biden in the general election, then you have to be okay with taking down a lot of innocent people who are going to suffer under another four years of the Trump administration, including many who voted for Sanders in the primary.

Imagine for a second that everyone in the Democratic Party behaved this way. Imagine a world where Sanders won the Democratic Primary, but Biden supports refused to vote for Sanders in the general election, causing Trump to beat Sanders in the general election. That would be pretty dickish.

Good points, that is pretty dickish. I'll consider it.

I see that after the BLM riots, you guys have went back to voting for a white racist and a cop.

Biden isn't a white supremacist. Harris isn't a cop.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

Biden isn't a white supremacist.

What was that thing he said about the poor kids?

Harris isn't a cop.

Former cop.

 

[Lacius]

What was that thing he said about the poor kids?

“We should challenge students in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids, wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids — no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

Clearly, he was trying to recover from the gaffe of replacing "wealthy kids" with "white kids" in his speech. Given this and his record on civil rights, the claim that Biden is a white supremacist is absurd. If you want to talk about actual white supremacy, we can talk about Trump's policies.

Former cop.

Before she was a U.S. Senator, Kamala Harris was a District Attorney of San Francisco and an Attorney General of California. If you want to call those things "cops," cool.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

If you want to talk about actual white supremacy, we can talk about Trump's policies.

Trump isn't white.

 

[Lacius]

Trump isn't white.

Unless you're making a joke about his orange skin color, Trump is indeed white.

His race also doesn't matter with regard to his racist policies.

 

[CORE]

If you dont vote Biden your not Black.

I like kids bouncing on my lap and rubbing my hairy legs.

No Dates till 30 let me sniff you and have a quick grope.

Joe is awesome

 

[UltraSUPRA]

Race is determined by skin color. Unless he had something like a massive sunburn when he was young and still hasn't recovered, he's not white.

His race also doesn't matter with regard to his racist policies.

So you can be racist regardless of race?

 

[leon315]

Neither. They both suck, like usual.

How about Kanye west? xD

All of the bronzer in the world won't change Trump's race. He's white. Orange is not a race. He's of German and Scottish descent.

So you can be racist regardless of race?

Yep.
