    I’d have the same response to “If the Cowboys want to win this year…” if I gave two shits about football.

    At best it’s just mindless armchair politics. Nobody cares what you think Biden ‘should do’. If it’s not obvious to you that he’s the best option you can stfu and vote Trump.

            Oh, please stfu. No one is oppressing you or the idiots with this same rhetoric. You motherfuckers and trumpers have a lot of things in common but the one that stands out the most is the victimization.

            So in this analogy the Cowboys are slapping rando armchair quarterbacks in the face by not caring what rando armchair quarterbacks think?

                What about signing things and going on-site and reading reports and calling people and agreeing to things and showing up at the deal in a suit so everyone can ask questions and buying the ad space and renting a place in DC and eating takeout while discussing amendments and questioning the sheriffs and consoling people in the district and speaking in favor of courageous people?

                Or is - it’s just opinions? Dang that’s pretty magical.

                Except the US is a representative democracy so you vote for quarterbacks, not plays. Armchair quarterbacks are just regular citizens with delusions of grandeur.

                You can call your quarterback and tell them what plays you think they should make. But babbling to strangers about what the quarterback should do is just that.

                  “It’s not important what you think, but if you don’t decide biden is better we’ll all lose”

                  Maybe things would be better if only the reasonable adults voted? Maybe only white land owners, even, because clearly all these delusional normies are gonna ruin our election.

                  Democracy means (i guess in theory, though i think it’s at least the ideal) everyone’s opinion matters the same amount. You’re right though, we’re not voting for individual policies (that’d be a lot better here), so instead your candidate needs delusional citizens like myself to think well enough about him to pick him, or anyone at all

                    Yeah I don’t know who told you your political opinion matters to anyone but eventually adults tend to recognize that’s not how life works.

                    You can pull one of two levers- that’s the only time what you think actually matters.

      You would rather have Trump than criticism?

        Neo liberals famously would rather have Donald Trump in charge than actual progressive policy. I’d argue it’s that exact mindset why they scorned Bernie and let Trump get come to power to begin with.
