But he has? He’s literally trying to out-flank the GOP by moving to the right on immigration and the border wall. Which will not only fail to persuade trumpers to move dem, but will dissuade pro-immigration liberals and progressives. It’s a bad move. I think the rationale is that those crowds will have to vote Biden anyway or be stuck under fascist trump. Instead of trying to inch closer to Trump on Policy, Biden should try to distance himself from the GOP and run on popular progressive positions like Universal Healthcare, Public Infrastructure, increasing minimum wage, etc. And also stopping military and international support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Make more people enthusiastic about voting for Biden.
I like all the issues you are advocating for, but you guys are out of touch with the average Dem voter IRL. Border security is a bipartisan issue currently, and what is being discussed on Lemmy (or Reddit) has very little in common w the average irl Dem voter. With the GOP so far down the shithole, I suspect that in a few years the Dems will split into a new progressive and moderate Dems will eventually replace repubs. Maybe. One can only hope.
What republicans could they remind on lemmy? There are none and if there were most instances would (and have, exploding heads iirc) defed from theirs. Tbf, you don’t know whether or not they have an acct on truthsocial or even explodingheads and post inflammatory memes to them there where any of them would actually see it. Any “reminding” of republicans happening here is nothing more than a circle jerk everyone already agrees with, it’s just “preaching to the saved,” to steal an expression from religion, and unless you’re passing around a collection plate in the next few minutes preaching to the saved benefits exactly nothing.
Like I asked the other poster, do you mind linking a few? I know you said you didn’t bookmark them, but surely if it’s as common as is being suggested it won’t take long or be too hard to find some.
So, who are you a surrogate for? You agenda post all day.
I’m a surrogate for no one. I just like to remind Dems their idols are faux.

The GOP is unsalvageable. Trump is an idiot. The Dems are the only other choice to try to move Left. Biden’s currently moving right.

Where exactly are people saying not to vote in the general? All I’m seeing is/were calls to vote undecided in the Michigan primary
Ok, OPs post is correct but I see plenty of users here talking about the general and abstaining. No, I did not bookmark the comments.
Like I asked the other poster, do you mind linking a few? I know you said you didn’t bookmark them, but surely if it’s as common as is being suggested it won’t take long or be too hard to find some.
Odd request. Just check my post history. Half my comments are bickering with abstaining lefties.

Do you mind linking a few? I’m not seeing those myself
I was referring to specifically this
