Seriously? #NeverBidenNeverTrump Seriously? Look, I'm not happy either. I wanted Warren. But if this anger and cynicism means Trump gets re-elected, then you all have learned nothing. Don't like the moderates? Fine. Get active locally. Change hearts and minds. Don't just whine.
It's just the height of privilege in this country to bitch and whine on Twitter about MSM agenda setting and yadda yadda yadda. People are literally dying because of Trump. Many more have had their lives and livelihoods threatened and/or disrupted because of him. Just stop it.
Don't like moderates? Then help elect more progressives at all local, state, and national elections. Do the work. Grow up and work hard to talk to people and convince them that progressive ways would help them. And don't just talk: listen to why they don't trust "leftists."
A lot of them have the wrong information, sure, but a lot of them don't like being talked at or shouted at and not treated with respect. It's fine to disagree and to argue -- but you aren't going to win hearts and minds by shouting. Dialogue. Listen. Compassionately communicate.
You want the world to change? Then be the damn change you want to see in the world. Grow up. Do the work. Treat everyone as you'd want to be treated. And fucking fight fascism and authoritarianism wherever it is when people have gone too far -- like Trump, who is not like Biden.
Seeing this hashtag trending is infuriating. And I don't know how much of this is just trolls and bots making it trend, but the fact that too many Americans are going to go down this road, just like 2016, makes me want to spit fire. But I'm done yelling: help me understand you.
What is driving you to support #NeverBidenNeverTrump? What leads you to equate them both as wrong for this country in equal ways? Why are you refusing to pick the lesser of two evils? How broken is the system for you that you need to register a protest vote?
