          Biden is the boogeyman ‘they’ have you afraid of. Or maybe you are the ‘they’ trying ro reframe Biden as the boogeyman.

          Trump isn’t a boogeyman, he’s an objectively selfish criminal grifter lunatic and theres decades of evidence and receipts to back it up.

            You own party and the DOJ doesn’t consider it a coup. Maybe it’s because you are being played.

                  Lol you’re just saying people aren’t going far enough if they aren’t voting, they should actively be encouraging everyone else not to also, regardless of what ridiculous lies have to be told.

      Provide the name of a current candidate that has a chance to best Trump in November. Provide evidence that they have a chance.

      Just one name.

                I’m sorry the capitalists and fascists have prevented you from seeing potential futures outside of their control. Anyone is viable if they get enough votes.

                  And he’s not getting those votes. So while knowing it’s not happening, you’re submitting a losing candidate. Purposefully.

                  And let’s not forget that you already admitted that you’re NOT VOTING. So your bad faith suggestion of West is also publicly noted.

                  Calling you guys out is too easy.

            The way polls are going, Biden probably doesn’t stand a chance. So this point is moot.

            The real answer to your question in all of the polling is “generic Democrat.”

              So, just to be clear, no 3rd party candidate has any chance of beating Trump, correct?

              ROFL… so you honestly think Stein can win? Let’s take a look…

              So there’s:

              LOL

              and….

              Well, it seems no other news source even lays her as even relevant. So… no. I’m going to go with,

              Name a VIABLE candidate that is currently running that can win.

                  So then how exactly are you able to consider Stein as viable?

                  There is. O one in the race that has a closer shot at defeating Trump and you know it. Any attempt to say otherwise is a at best a clear refusal to accept reality and at worst, blatant propaganda and misinformation.

                  So which is it?

              No one but you wants to vote for that Russian stooge.

              You just want to trade a genocide in Palestine for a genocide in Ukraine AND a genocide in Palestine.

              What are her poll numbers? Ignoring the fact that she’s a fucking Russian asset, she couldn’t beat Trump. Try again.
