Comment on The Most Dangerous Thing In The Western Hemisphere - Second Thought

When I see liberals critiquing liberals, if they are not prefacing their views with a strong call to vote liberal then I get suspicious. I get it you want a better candidate, Biden is not as left as you want, yes yes, but I hate to break it to you, if you diss Biden too much you’re handing the reins to the right. Go crazy in the primaries, go crazy in the local elections, get your young leftist candidates out there great, but when it’s time to vote in the big one you have to get your ass out there and vote.
Any liberal that doesn’t explain this, I get suspicious and wonder who’s really supporting them. I’m sure this youtube guy isn’t in some conspiracy, but man I would not be surprised if unknown to him some russian agency was donating generously to his patreon and fanning the flames with fake comments to create dissent within the party.
The system is shit, do everything you can to change it, but if you sit out the big vote you’re being played like a flute.

That’s because JT Chapman is a rich white guy who reviews luxury cars and hides behind MLK quotes. Why make the world better for people who aren’t him?
Despite allegedly caring about class issues too, I wonder how JT feels about Biden’s latest speech, which was strongly pro union
