Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

    I’m not the guy who wants Trump in office. I’m just the one who doesn’t want to vote for somebody who is repeatedly bypassing Congress to send weapons to literal fascists committing war crimes. That’s someone I can’t just hold my nose and vote for. His political career is over.

    Why can’t we have any of the other people who ran in the 2020 Democratic primaries instead of Biden? This idea that it absolutely has to be Biden or else the DNC will let the country fall apart with Trump is so completely messed up.

      Which one of them did you canvas for?

        I like how someone actually responded to your ridiculous question and you suddenly stop mouthing off to people. What a surprise. /s

          You mean the comment posted 22 minutes ago when I wasn’t active here? My apologies for not being on Lemmy on your specific schedule.

        Dean Phillips, but he has little chance against an incumbent who has the support of the Party leadership. In order for anyone to solidly beat him in the primaries, Biden would need to step down or the Party would need to acknowledge that the Clinton strategy of pushing their pick even if unpopular isn’t a safe one.

        Voters tend to not show up for primaries against incumbents, but unenthusiastic or marginalized voters also tend to not show up to elections. Or put another way, an incumbent winning a primary isn’t indicative of a candidate winning an election. And I have no faith that Biden can win an election. That the DNC does is frightening and delusional.

        Or are you saying that you wouldn’t vote for any Democratic candidate except Biden? What on earth does the party have to lose by having Biden step down?

          What exactly did you do to help Dean Phillips’ campaign?

          Or are you saying that you wouldn’t vote for any Democratic candidate except Biden? What on earth does the party have to lose by having Biden step down?

          I’ll vote for whoever will stop Trump to prevent the ongoing queer genocide you apparently don’t care much about from getting worse and taking my daughter with it.

          Who do you suggest I vote for if Biden appears to be the one most likely to save my daughter’s life?

            lol, it’s nothing but moving goalposts with you, is it?

            Your daughter’s life doesn’t mean enough to you to help me get an electable candidate through the primaries. When she asks you what you did to save her, you can say you argued with people on the internet. Sleep with that on your conscience.

              I apologize for being too seriously ill to do anything about the primaries. And also for not being a member of the Democratic Party. What did you do for Dean Phillips? I already asked you and you won’t say. Should I guess that you did essentially nothing?

              I am not moving the goalposts at all. First of all, this is the very first comment I made in this thread:

              I keep telling people- the queer genocide that has already begun with Republican restrictions on trans rights and medical care is going to ramp way up and encompass queer people as a whole. Including my daughter.

              And yet I keep being told I’m excusing genocide by voting for Biden in order to stop Trump from killing her.

              https://lemmy.world/comment/8053546

              Secondly, you blatantly asked me if I’d vote for any Democrat other than Biden:

              Or are you saying that you wouldn’t vote for any Democratic candidate except Biden?

              The answer is yes, if they can beat Trump. I have no idea why you think answering your question is moving the goalposts. That seems like just as silly a lie as when you accused me of supporting genocide- the very thing I said people keep telling me I’m doing by voting for Biden to save my daughter’s life in my very first post. Surprise, surprise.

                You’re admitting you’ve done nothing, yet you have the audacity to ask me to quantify what I’ve done. I’m very politically active, but I’m not going to go into the details here. I don’t live on this site and don’t want to spend more time than I already have arguing with randos with weird agendas.

                  Yeah, weird how not being able to eat any solid food for months doesn’t give you the energy to go door-to-door for more than about 15 minutes.

                  Believe it or not, cancer patients and people with immunodeficiency diseases don’t have the energy to do much canvassing either.

                  But sure, run away after all the ridiculous lies. That’s fine.

      Back in reality, the choices are a) vote for Biden, b) vote for Trump, and c) don’t vote. That’s it, those are your choices.

      Just know that options b and c help Trump. You can bend and twist reality in any shape you want, but that is the actual effect of those choices.

      So ask yourself, do you want Trump as president?
