Please understand that fear is exactly what drives the criticism of Joe Biden. He has positioned himself as the only thing between us and fascism and if he loses, he only has himself to blame. He buried more qualified candidates, lied about his agenda and is now supporting genocide in the middle east. Beating Trump should be easy, but we're stuck with probably the only guy that can lose to him. 
@jacklaridian @rooster how should beating Trump be "easy" when he just trounced his way to the GOP nomination?
@unabogie @rooster@chaosfem.tw
Because he ran as a populist, claiming every other politician has been in office too long. The only people they put against him were people who had been in office too long, just reinforcing his point for him. He ran as the rich guy that won't take money from shady donors and they only ran people against him who do nothing BUT take money from shady donors. The Democratic rake-stepping is off the charts right now.
@jacklaridian @rooster he ran as a populist in this last primary? The one that hasn't concluded yet? After being indicted 91 times? And staging a coup? When he beat Haley? And Christie?
Both of whom held no office at the time they ran?
I feel like you should maybe read more and pontificate less if you're paying so little attention.
@jacklaridian @rooster and I find it particularly gross that a trans woman pleads with people to help protect her and you go off on conspiracy theories about Biden "burying <unnamed> qualified candidates" instead of listening to a person asking you to put this shit aside and stand with her.
@unabogie @rooster@chaosfem.tw
Second, I don't put this shit aside. I fear for her community because of how badly the Dems are fumbling the ball. I was explaining that, then you asked a stupid question. I answered. Have you been paying attention?
@jacklaridian @unabogie @rooster tbh Dems are not ones dragging support there. Please stop pretending that it is their problem. It is everyone's problem. Get off fucking high horse created by isolation of internet and vote.

Bro! You live in LATVIA 
@unabogie @rooster@chaosfem.tw
Wow, I was being nice.
First, I was obviously talking about the General, the Primary was a lock for him due to his influence in the party.
The Dems are the ones screwing this up. When John McCain ran as a populist (who was gonna clean up Washington), they ran fresh blood. Barack Obama was the right choice and it paid off.
If Trump says career politicians are the problem and they wheel out career politicians who make his point for him, they are asking to lose.
@jacklaridian @unabogie @rooster Obama was a once in a lifetime candidate.
So is Trump, especially for trans people should he win a second term.
I don’t care where you want to place the blame. I care if, come November, you can vote against Trump.
@WhiteCatTamer @unabogie @rooster@chaosfem.tw
I never said I wouldn't
@jacklaridian I’d suggest that perhaps a list of complaints about Biden, in response to someone who’s pointing out the threat to her life that the only alternative to Biden poses (and there is no realistic third option at this stage), might be missing the point a bit.
@Serenus
Are you tone-policing me? This is a public forum. I'm good. Thanks 
@jacklaridian No, I’m pointing out the reply guy behaviour.
@Serenus
So, anyone who replies is a 'reply guy'? How convenient.
@jacklaridian @Serenus No. Reread their first post, as it accurately describes the issue. And no, critiquing someone’s decision to speak and on what subject and to whom, is not tone policing.
@WhiteCatTamer @Serenus
Listen to yourself. Since when are you the arbiter of who is allowed to respond in a public forum. Get over yourself.
@WhiteCatTamer I think that's exactly tone policing tbh @jacklaridian @Serenus
@SallyStrange @jacklaridian @Serenus Tone policing is saying people must be deferential to those in power in order to be taken seriously or respected, to moderate their anger at that person’s choices and position because their presentation is more important than their position.
It’s not the same as telling people off for making a marginalized person’s cry of pain about themselves and their right to speak.
When the person who's supposedly our only hope for protection, is someone who's participated in actively enabling the threats against us so we can be used as high-profile HOSTAGES... that complicates things in truly hideous ways.
