I'll come to Rube's defense a bit here. People are getting on him for lack of nuance, but at the same time saying that he's ignoring the s*** sandwich that is Trump. I don't think that's true and saying he's ignoring the fact that the other choice is worse is showing just as much of a lack of nuance.
You can be annoyed that he seems to latch on to Biden gaffs each and every time, like yeah, we get it. On the same token, Trump is a s*** sandwich, yeah we get it. The whole thread is basically that. Because it's true. But I think the discussion about how Biden will only perpetuate the problems that have resulted in Trump being elected is valid. Lunatic is a pretty strong word. It's lunacy to be concerned about Biden not being the solution, and in fact most definitely is not? The idea that a Presidential candidates best path to victory is to just shut up and let the other person sink themselves is not exactly inspiring. And the fact that Biden basically represents this empty gesture of "normalcy" is concerning. Do people marching in the streets want normalcy? No. Does that mean they shouldn't eat the pineapple pizza vs the s*** pizza? No. But we're allowed to poke at the faults of everyone involved in this mess.
Like do we honestly think if given the chance to vote that Rube would abstain or vote Trump? Given their posting history, I really, really doubt it. This is the American politics thread. American politics is not just Trump news. At this point, anyone taking the grand idiot seriously is beyond the point of intelligent discussion, so are we all just going to post his tweets laugh and what... thats it? That's the American politics thread? Do you really think Rube carries with him a danger of actually convincing people to NOT vote for Biden?
