Lmao.

You guys still can't figure out why voters don't want to turn out? You just assume you've won the war of ideas because the only other organized team we're allowed to have has gone to shit.

Try thinking less like a team and more like someone who wants people to vote for them.

I definitely thought "we won the competition of ideas long ago" was parody for a split second

Least condescending centrist take I've ever seen.

You Must Choose.*️⃣

Choose Democrat -> hope, and a four year reprieve from insane chaos and destruction

Choose RepubliQan -> insane chaos

Choose Third Party -> insane chaos

Choose not to vote -> insane chaos

THERE ARE NO OTHER CHOICES.

*️⃣ This presumes one is a registered American voter.

And one lives in a swing state where one's vote matters.

Biden was only 600,000 votes behind Trump in 2020 in TX. In fact, he received more votes in TX than in NY. It would be great if they would do something to stir the base here, especially since we have a 2 week voting period with polls open at least 9 hours in the first week and at least 12 hours in the second week.

Well downballot is also a thing. House, Senate, judges, whatever.

If you don't vote in a safe state, then you're not in a safe state.
