Okay since you’ve mentioned game theory let’s do some.
For: T = trump wins
B = Biden wins
M = Biden is just as bad as Trump
N = Trump is much worse than Biden
Then the outcome table looks something like this where positive numbers mean a good outcome
M N
T 0 -1
B 0 +1
Since if they’re both bad it doesn’t matter who wins, like you’re insinuating. But if Trump is worse than Biden then it’s obviously better to vote Biden because if Biden wins you get a 0 or a 1, but if Trump wins you get a 0 or a -1.
And also to anyone with eyes, ears or a brain, it’s obvious Donald “I’m literally going to start a fascist dictatorship if I win” Trump is worse than Joe “Please don’t commit genocide or I’ll write you a strongly worded letter” Biden.
Also… we’ve seen this happen before. Hillary loses to Trump, we live through four years of a fascist administration (and all the shit that comes with it), then in 2020… we get Biden.
That user is, simultaneously, using criticisms of Biden to justify recreating the conditions that brought him into office.
And that user also used the Palestinians to justify letting the DNC lose to Trump, even though Trump is even more bigoted and pro-Israel. It’s saying the best “strategy” to voice discontent over the genocide is to… accelerate it.
I’m not willing to go through four years of fascism, then if we get to vote again in 2028—which we wouldn’t be able to take for granted—likely get some other milquetoast conservative Democrat. I’d rather spend the next four years trying to fight and push Democrats to the left than to fight GOP fascists.
Do you think the same people who refused to show up for Hillary in the 2016 general voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries?
The elephant in the room here is that moderates are the largest voting bloc in the Democrat party. That means they hold the lions share of the responsibility for outcomes. If they steamroll the primaries to vote for a candidate that isn’t popular with wings they need to win general elections they are responsible for that decision.
Yeah it’s very much cutting off your nose to spite your face.
"You know what will show those bastards at thr DNC? If we let trump win and let him ruin our lives1 Imagine the look on Bidens face when I get beaten by magahats, lol.
Moderate voters elected Joe Biden and in the same breath where they say Democracy is at stake they sneer at the idea of compromising with leftists or progressives to save it.
In these precarious moments with Democracy and Fascism on the line, is it really smart to shove a stick in the flimsy bicycle we already have that can possibly avert this?
I say no, it is not the time to negotiate. It is time to fall in line and deal with the big fish first.

I see the problem you’re making, it’s not always obvious so it’s kind of hard to deal with.
The issue is expecting logic to have any affect on some people.
(It’s always worth the effort I’m just poking fun) :P

So we’re gonna try the same tactics as before.
Right? It’s crazy when moderates bring up 2016 as if it were a lesson for progressives and leftists. The lack of self awareness is ridiculous.

Moderates are the problem.
Moderates being the problem doesn’t mean not voting is the solution.
I’m voting 3rd party or writing in.
Here’s a solution you haven’t explored: Go scream at moderates for once.
The Kremlin thanks you for your service.
Would moderate voters prefer I helped Biden win? Seems like a good opportunity for them to negotiate yes?

Where’s the table with the third party candidates?
How old are ya bud? Is this your first election?
I see you have boomer in your name, must be all that lead and asbestos. Cheers for the laughs, moron
