I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

American Liberals seem to hold pretty much everyone in that same regard because almost everyone is an enemy in potential. With Liberalism imploding away, Liberals hold that both leftists and republicans should die for 'voting against their interests'. An actual fascist demanding mass murder is in that sense not at all different from a socialist who demands that the right to abortion be codified in law - because the corollary there is that once the Liberal Party refuses to do so it must be punished.
This leftist belief is in accordance to what Liberals ostensibly want and believe in, both in the sense of wanting abortion codified and trust in representative democracy. So the only way for Liberals to square that hole is to twist everything into itself. It's not that Biden is a genocidal maniac who was once one of the people in charge of a Liberal Supermajority that did absolutely nothing. It's that the political opponents of the Liberal Party are too dumb to understand politics.
The "voting against their own interests" line is so bankrupt. They're currently arguing people should vote for the dude supporting a genocide on their families.
..and regularly get persuaded by pundits not to pick a candidate who aligns with their ideals because that "wouldn't have broad appeal."
The parliamentarian's tyranny knows no bounds
