"Failure to vote for Biden in a swing state amounts to voting for Trump." In an interview with me, Noam Chomsky compares the #NeverBiden ppl to Communists in the 1930s who refused to ally with social democrats against the Nazis: "We know where that led."

Noam Chomsky on the #NeverBiden Movement on the Left

“You can debate a lot of things, but not arithmetic,” says Noam Chomsky on the #NeverBiden movement. “Failure to vote for Biden in this election in a swing state amounts to voting for Trump.”

I like Ralph Nader, but a lot of people didn’t vote for Gore in 2000 for that reason. Millions of dead Iraqis resulted. Nothing holy or pure there.

Sorry, Marianne. You have to be willing to not vote for them or they'll never EVER respect your demands. I predict Biden will give lip service to #Med4All, with absolutely no commitment to it. *Coughs Obama, subtly*

Their respect or lack of respect isn’t predicated on our votes one way or the other. That’s definitely a problem, I give you that, but it’s not one that gets fixed by not voting.

Gore lost his home state AND over 300,000 registered Florida Democrats voted for Bush in 2000. Gore lost because of Gore and no one else.

Obama is responsible for more deaths than Trump, Marianne.

Nah. The 600,000 Democrats who voted for Bush in Florida elected Bush. Just like the 9.32% of Obama Democrats elected Trump when they voted for Trump. It's how elections work. You only elect who you vote for.

And we voted for Obama and how many enslaved and dead Libyans, Yemeni and ISIS terrorized, displaced and dead Syrians resulted from that...

If it's not dead Iraqis under Bush, it's dead Libyans, under Obama. What's your point?

With due respect, this is such a bullshit argument. If someone votes for something they don’t believe in, they are lying to themselves and others. That is exactly the way to create an intricate mess

If there really was a serious difference between Gore and Bush Gore and his party would have fought the theft of the election. Like call people out into the streets.

and @JoeBiden and @HillaryClinton played a huge role in that. Guess who didn't? @BernieSanders Never mind that Bush stole the election with @Scotus' help.
