To anyone b*tching about Biden being our only 2024 choice.I heard an identical argument against Hillary Clinton in 2016, it helped trump get elected, which resulted in 3 corrupt SCOTUS justices installed, ROE overturned, LGBTQ/TRANS Rights attacked, gerrymandering, botched pandemic response, Jan 6 insurrection & the endless mounting pile of manure we’re still dealing with & republicans are getting away with because you weren’t happy with the presidential candidate.THREAD 🧵

We can’t afford purity tests right now.I get it, I know you want younger & more progressive choices but in this moment in history we’re at a crossroads & these are our choices, trump or Biden.You have seen what 4 years of trump did.trump is a criminal traitor who shouldn’t be allowed to run for any government office to begin with & he should be in jail but alas, republicans in their infinite wisdom deemed trump better equipped than meatwad Ron DeSantis as their 2024 presidential candidate.

I’m not going to lie, I’ll take an orange haired grifter over a mummy. At least the orange man tells us he is a grifter…

@Lady_Star_Gem Yeah, did that already. On the clearly communicated implication that Biden was only in for 4 years. I am sick and tired of mediocre old white men and the slow walk to hell that's the best they're capable of. Our democracy won't stand four more years of either of those old men.

@RudyDoesBooks What does "clearly communicated implication" mean? He was elected, he's been doing a great job, and now has a chance to run again. I feel like I must have misunderstood you because it sounds like you're suggesting that you won't vote for anyone. I'd like to suggest that if you're worried about women's rights and democracy, voting is more critical than ever.

@Gustodon Gus, I;m 55 years old, been politcally active my whole life and ran for office in 2020. I don;t need anyone to tell me when voting is important. And your post, by the way, is a great to tell me you are a cis het white man in the upper middle class without telling me any of that. I'm a freelance 55 year old Jewish possessor of a uterus and NO, he has not been doing a great job. My rights to exist are more endangered now than two years ago.We are fucked. utterly fucked. Biden was never capable of unfucking us, and the last two years have shown that. He does not have what it takes for us to survive the oncoming storm.

@RudyDoesBooks @Gustodon Clearly you are looking for a king or queen, not a President. Biden is doing what he can within the scope of the constitution and our divided government. He got an extraordinary amount of good done with the slightest congressional majority. You wanted him to fix SCOTUS? Gun laws? Reinstate Roe? No president can do that alone. We need to re-elect Biden with large congressional majorities in order to get things done.

@RudyDoesBooks @Lady_Star_Gem Our weird militarized republic has survived far worse than Joe Biden.It survived Jackson, Buchanon, Nixon, Reagan... The problem is that a fuck ton of people that weren't Rich WASPs or boring/white enough to pretend to be WASPs didn't.Your response REEKS of "well, I'm not getting the thing _I_ wanted so it's all the same to ME so why bother!?" which is the grossest American WASP stinger/zinger I've ever read on this damn site...

@EppyNWS @Lady_Star_Gem Oh Eppy. This poor Jewish woman would really like to invite you to do something entirely impolite to yourself. The thing I want is to not descend into Gilead. To not fear for my life. For blacks, latinx, Asians, trans folks, gay folks, to not fear for their lives. How do you think, by all that you hold holy, Biden will make us safe? And why do you think Biden can do that? What has done over the past two years to make you think that? Not being Trump isn't enough. It will not keep me and mine safe.

@RudyDoesBooks @Lady_Star_Gem There is a MASSIVE difference between "might not do enough to keep me safe" and "Will actively antagonize and seek to hurt me and mine and cheer on his ra_ist followers while making promises to absolve them of consequences" and DONT YOU DARE PRETEND YOU DONT FUCKING KNOW IT.And if you try and drag us into the oppression Olympics this faggot will GLEEFULLY lob the orange from the Seder plate at your head in hopes it makes you trip.

@Lady_Star_Gem at that point Hillary Clinton was the nominee. There's still time for someone to run against Biden and secure the Democratic nominee hell the Democratic convention isn't even until next year.

@Lady_Star_Gem 100% agree that we must stand behind Biden and Democracy by voting in a Democratic controlled Government in 2024. With that the pathway for the next generation of government is cleared. Congressional leadership can put our younger legislators into places that give them experience so 2028 can be their year.

@GreenFire fantastic idea! Consider it a 'dry run for democracy' and make a day of it. Carpool and grab some lazy friends - annoyingly schedule meetups with friends in the area of voting! (I write, libraries are awesome)@CaliGal @Lady_Star_Gem

@GreenFire Absolutely we do.I'm carpooling with two friends because I hate driving so I make people drive me when I can.Thing 1 - HATES politics. Doesn't want to care, couldn't give any fucks. Guess what? He's super-ultra-gay. He has to vote, he has no choice.Thing 2 - Doesn't care one way or the other about voting. Likely would if she was forced to but would rather just not listen and tends to turn off the channels. Guess what? She knows me, she knows Thing 1, and she herself is a HER. She has no choice, she has to vote.So... I'm making it a day. Thing 2 is picking Thing 1 up because he'll flake if we used his car. Then they are coming to pick me up, have an outing and a few laughs, pull a lever or select a box, and then go drink or whatever.When I learned that they give out hotdogs to voters in Australia I was so angry and jealous.@CaliGal @Lady_Star_Gem

@mentallyalex @GreenFire @CaliGal @Lady_Star_Gem In Canada we don't even get the "I voted" stickers. I think our democracy is in a slightly better standing but I do like the idea of making voting day a bit more of an event and hang out with friends. I might pinch the idea next time a voting day comes up.

@Tbsa @johnettesnuggs @Lady_Star_Gem Yes, that's why they're doing it: because they know that it's their weak point.Populism isn't popular. By its nature, it excludes all but a loud, self-interested minority.In America, the populist right is about 30% of the voters, which is a guaranteed loss at the national level.The only way they can win is to cheat, and that starts with voter suppression. It ends with a coup.

@TruthSandwich @johnettesnuggs @Lady_Star_Gem When people try to overthrow the government and you don’t fire them or prosecute them. They succeed the next time around. You can’t win by voting when they don’t allow you to vote.
