    There’s only one way you’re not getting Trump, and that’s by voting for Biden and making sure as many other people do too. Complaining that you don’t like your choices, while a valid and understandable complaint, isn’t going to get you any closer to what you want at this point in the election cycle.

    So when people tell you that “you want Trump”, it’s not necessarily that they think you’re an actual Trump supporter. They’re saying that you’re asking for a series of events that would undoubtedly hand the presidency to Trump, and now in order to oppose Fascism we also have to oppose you, because you stand in the way of the Fascist losing the election. It’s easier to group you in with everyone else carrying water for Trump than to logically separate you just because your motivations aren’t pro-fascism, but rather self-destructive idealism.

      To us, it feels like you’re all being idealists and thinking that everyone thinks like you. News flash: they don’t. The average American will look at Biden and either decide not to vote or vote for the other guy.

      I don’t care where you decide to group us, but please try to understand there are people trying to win this election and keep fascism from overtaking this country and those people might have a different approach that is worth considering.

      That’s the “only way”??? Are you sure?!

      People calling for him to step aside are desperate for something to happen as soon as possible so that people have as much time as possible to rally behind the next candidate.

      The longer this gets drawn out the higher the chance that Trump gets elected.
