    The more folks on Lemmy complain about this guy, the more I am convinced he might be the right choice. It worked for Harris, after all.

          Ok. do whatever stupid shit you want. Keep thinking that enthusiasm doesn’t matter and that second worst is always a winner.

          You’ll blame anyone but yourself when you’re wrong, like you did in 2016.

            Enthusiasm is fine. Fanaticism is a problem. Know the difference.

            Second worst has always been the winner throughout American history. Much the rest of the world too. Apart from that one time a Republican invented his own party to run on and won on his name recognition. Because the Republican party abandoned him. But hey if you got the stats to prove otherwise. We’d all like to see them.

            Name calling and casting baseless aspersions won’t make your points anymore reasonable or sound. Honestly it just makes people see you as a cringy obsessed weirdo. Which isn’t helping any of the people you and I both want to see helped.

              You may think that Trump was second worst to Clinton, but I don’t.

                Definitely unsurprising. Irrationality definitely doesn’t appear to be against your modus operandi when it comes to these topics.

                  If second worst always wins and Trump beat Clinton, you’re saying that Trump was second worst to Clinton.

                  As always with centrists, abuse is what you use in lieu of defensible positions.

                    Oh I see you back to making strawman and calling names again? Is that really all you have. Just so you know that’s rhetorical question.

      The more I hear centrists talk about how he’s a smart pick, the more convinced I am he’ll be a disaster. It was true for Biden, after all.
