    The neoliberal mantra:

    Yeah, we’re shit. But what are you going to do, vote Republican?

    In real life some of those people just won’t vote. I’ll never understand why the blame isn’t put on the candidate for low voter turnout.

    It just sucks neoliberals have shown time and time again that they’re fine ignoring anyone to the left of them because they feel entitled to their votes. Even tho it’s clearly not been working for decades.

      You forgot the bit at the end where they laugh like a One Piece villain.

      Sure, if you want to interpret “voting against Biden” as not voting. On election day, I think most Muslims know that not voting or voting for Trump or any other Republican is directly against their interests.

        You pretty much just reworded my exaggerated quote:

        Yeah, we’re shit. But what are you going to do, vote Republican?

            I did not, I said:

            In real life some of those people just won’t vote

            Meaning they’re not going to vote trump, but some may not vote at all.

            With the implication that because the neoliberal mantra is:

            Yeah, we’re shit. But what are you going to do, vote Republican?

            They’re going to act like not voting for Biden is voting for trump.

            Something you’ve explicitly said in this thread…

            I’m just confused, all your words are agreeing with my points, but your tone is conveying that you disagree?

        So 2016 to 2020 really was a fever dream and the Supreme Court isn’t packed with far right religious extremists?!
