The ~~bold strategy~~completely braindead decision was made by people who watched Hillary lose and decided to make the effort to show up to the 2020 primaries so they could vote for Joe Biden. I'm not faulting you for having a negative opinion about my decision but if you're gonna mock people for dumb decisions surely some should be cast in that direction yeah?
These folks believe making your own choice to support a third party who supports you, in contrast to the two groups who said they wont, is supporting fascism. Forcing you to conform to the established system laid out for you is not, with irony this strong I do not believe you could ever reach them.
I don't think I could ever get them to agree with my point of view. But I do think if they believe our resolve they would realize they're trying to squeeze blood from a stone and begin screaming louder at Biden and morons who voted for him in the 2020 primaries.
They seem like they're close. The claim that "we can push Biden to the left" was the best acknowledgement to date that we had at least some reasonable expectations and that they would support us. That promise never materialized but the fact that it was made gives us something to point to when they try to insist we vote for Biden again. We blindly trusted the promise once. It's not unreasonable for us to refuse to do it again.
