“the leftists are going to lose us this election by refusing to vote for biden” is a pretty good example of disguising a structural problem by turning it into a personal moral choice

If Larry refuses to vote for Biden and Biden loses you can say that it’s Larry’s fault. If there’s several million Larry’s you’re going to have to acknowledge that the problem is at the very least best addressed at the Biden end!

what is the plan to get leftists to vote for Biden? Is it to have people they absolutely fucking despise condescend to them on twitter for six months, because I don’t think that’s going to work

There’s a ton of policies that Sanders stood for, pick fucking one, I beg of you.

But I don’t think it’s about convincing leftists. It’s about pre-assigning blame for a loss.
