I was talking about PugJesus, not you....

He is a fucking liar, and intentionally wants to twist up the obvious context to fit his chosen narrative. In other words, a propagandist and a try-hard.

Apparently it didn't have much effect on you, considering your lackadaisical attitude towards legitimacy in government and political violence.

Yeah, okay 👍 whatever you say chief.

Again....Hard Agree.

Jesus fucking christ man. You are out to lunch. I've followed every single part of the political process in this country since I was like 11 years old. You are pissing me the fuck off now.

I watched January 6th live, I watched 9/11 live, I watched the invasion of Iraq live, I have diligently paid attention to every historical moment in my lifetime. The vast majority of the people under 50 in this country already think the government is illegitimate. It does not, and has not ever worked for them. The popular vote changes nothing. If you think it does then you are deluded.

By... advocating for a replacement for Biden

I don't see much "advocating" from you. I see a lot of hand-wringing.

I absolutely understand. You are in your feelings. I am living in reality. The electoral college is all that matters. That is what determines our elections, and is what will determine if we are able to sustain our strained democracy. When Biden loses the election and wins the popular vote you can carry all the water you want, but Trump will still be president.

You may not like it, but you are embodying it. Deal with it.

The popular vote is an important legitimizing factor in elections.

Yeah, that sounds good, but ultimately it is fucking meaningless. I'm all for the popular vote compact, but that isn't reality right now.

If your logic is that the end result is preordained

It isn't preordained. I am working off the available evidence, and every single piece of available evidence is that he is going to fucking lose. Joe Biden staying in this race is dooming this country, and when he loses I hope he is punished for his hubris.

You're never going to break through the Blue MAGA brain rot. They are too far in denial. The grip of the sunk cost fallacy is too strong.

Some of us live in states where our votes conveniently don't matter. I don't give a single fuck about performative voting. I care about winning, and Joe Biden is not going to win.

Hard agree.

He is doing this to himself, and his hubris is dooming the country.

It's already over. If he stays on the top of the ticket Republicans will control all three branches of government, and it won't be close.

NO. FUCKING. SHIT.

If that's your stance then you need to be 100% prepared for four more years of Donald Trump, and Republicans controlling all three branches of government indefinitely.

It's interesting that people are somehow convinced he actually cares about winning. I am not comfortable making that assumption. He can absolutely dig his heels in, tank the entire situation, and force them to hold a contested convention if he wants. That is the old "if I can't have you, then nobody can" strategy that straddles every immature or abusive relationship.

The public chorus is not just "a few articles". If you think that is what is going on here then you need to do some serious reevaluation. The narrative has fundamentally shifted in a new way, and it ain't shifting back.

We will see which one of us sized up the situation correctly in t-minus 4 months.

How can you be so dogmatic that you would rather run a failing candidate in complete public free fall rather than attempting to do whatever is necessary to save the country from the crypto-fascist psycopaths that want to destroy secular society for an entire generation at best.

You may be okay with Biden and the DNC repeating 2016, and giving it the "Aw, golly-gee schucks. We did our bestest" on November 6th. I, however, am not. Fuck every single part of that. You either don't give a shit, or you don't understand how stupid the average person in this country actually is. Biden is not going to win, no matter how much you want to wring your hands and cope. It is time to pull the fucking rip cord, and do whatever is necessary to win.
