A lot of people talk about how Biden needs to “earn my vote.” Of course he didn’t “earn your vote.” But I think this is less about what he owes us & more about what we owe millions of people in this country & billions throughout the world who will be affected by a 2nd Trump term.

I hear you Marianne, but we have to respect where people are coming from. I am voting for Biden because I agree with you 45 has to go. However, I get why people want him to earn their vote. You watched The DNC. What did they offer progressives? Nothing! 1/

Honestly, what's the difference? It's Joe's job to make that case. And he isn't even lifting a finger to do so.

If Biden wants progressive votes he needs to offer something to progressive voters. Right now all he's saying is "don't vote Trump," and we're all on board with that: no Leftist will cast their ballot for Trump. We're being hit with a stick but we don't have a carrot to run to.

So Biden is entitled to be President without earning our votes just because "Trump bad"? I don't think Biden deserves to go down in history as a President. Trump obviously doesn't either, but that ship has sailed.

Cry "Wolf" much? This is no different than arguments I've been hearing from Democrats every election since I began voting in '78. "This election is too crucial" "Wait your turn" Once we get (Reagan, Bush, Trump) or keep them (Dole, Romney) out of office we'll do the right thing.

So you’re saying we owe millions of people worldwide a president who will continue drone warfare, covert regime change ops, unconstrained militarism and constant threats, global mass surveillance, habeas corpus-free assasination, etc. b/c Trump? That’s your view? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is amazingly cogent for someone who was tweeting about the power of love six months ago. How much did it cost for you to become their mouthpiece? As if a Biden term wouldn't be a third GWB term. Biden will kill just as many ppl across the world as any of the prev prezes.
