A. Please tell me exactly where I said Biden was anything more than a mildly less shit alternative to Trump. And please tell me where I was saying support the genocide, rather than support one of the people who supports the genocide.

B. I have not been talking about what Biden should have done. I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

Welp, you just saw that "damage control" has a limit. People will stay home if they see insufficient difference between the two pro-genocide parties.

I have only been talking about what voters should have done.

This election should have taught you that you can't control voters beyond giving them a reason to vote for you. Not being the other guy is not a good enough reason.

Third parties are electable when they can do this better than the two major parties, and people stop buying into the propaganda you are spreading. They are a threat to the major parties that can only be realized if you vote for them.

Except, not you, because you're not an American voter, so why are you here again?
