Biden isn't trying to win Musicbanter.

I don't think anyone here is failing to see the reasoning behind it. It's clear as day they regard center right Republicans more worthy of pursuit than left wing Democrats.

Are you a fan of Vaush? Just curious.

I'm sure, like Big3 said, bozos like John Kasich and Colin Powell giving virtual pro-Biden speeches will be the deciding factor in Biden bringing over center-right moderates.

Yeah, your last post reflected basically what Vaush said. He's gay as hell - but he's also a pretty smart dude. I try to watch content from creators spanning the political spectrum. Vaush is one of many for me.

You'll probably throw up in your mouth a bit, but I also watch guys like Destiny, and Styxhexenhammer.

I get not voting because you don't live in a swing state or you just can't be arsed, but there's no principled argument for not voting, it's not protest, it's nothing

It’s not literally consenting to be governed by hoarding capitalist rapist scumbags either. The only statement voting makes is that you’re willing to be an active participant and advocate for your own oppression.

**** Charles, if you don't vote this time around, they might just appoint Bernie chancellor for life or something

I mean you as a so-called commie voting for centrists and spending the rest of your time doing nothing might as well just be a Get Out democrat cause nothing about you other than your vote amounts to anything. They might as well just murder you and hook the remains of your brain to a voting machine with only a blue button cause you don't exist to them other than that. Pretending that you voting is accomplishing anything is like you sending five bucks to Biden's campaign.

It's not protest it's apathy. Only thing changing my mind this time is the fact that I'm starting to believe Trump might actually go full dictator. But in regards to Obama vs Bush type **** I can't really be bothered.

Vaush is alright... Sam Seder is a nerdy old Jew that is smarter than any of the twitch wannabes.

The very clear statement made by everyone who votes is that they believe voting is a worthwhile endeavor. You wouldn’t be voting if you didn’t buy into the process.

Voting does work... Even in our limited democracy. It's not voting that is the real problem. It's the voters. That's why democracy is gay.

cringe man!

(Destiny is fine)

I don't give two ****s how he dresses or how bad his fashion sense is. Vaush has been known to wear his hair in a bun and I don't give a **** about that either. Yeah, Styx has got some bad takes. But I enjoy hearing a breadth of views on multiple topics. It's given me different approaches on different issues, which makes it difficult for me to label myself politically.

My friend is a big fan of Styx. Seems like a goth ***got to me.
