My 2c as a non American: The politically active "far-left" will likely hold their noses & vote for Biden as "damage reduction".

The non-voters will be the disenfranchised, suppressed and the "non-political".

Then whatever happens, democrats will blame the "far-left" and talk about how they could have done better if only they'd appealed to some imaginary conservative swing voter who doesn't exist.

It's like how War of The Worlds is about someone doing to the British what they did to India

Ah, but you can then show that less people are on benefits and say you've done well. Just don't look at what experts say about poverty. In fact, best to fire the experts if you can!

I've seen so many comments like the original tweet and i don't get it. At worst Turkish delight is its perfectly fine. If I were an English child in 1943 it would probably blow my mind

Unfortunately we can't condense 75years of modern Israeli/Palestinian history into a 2 panel Simpsons meme to explain that, yes Krusty Burglar is evil but Homer had previously committed several atrocities of his own including the rape and murder of The Burglar's family and is now throwing grenades into the audience because they didn't do enough to stop the Burglar.

But this is justified by the Simpson's religious/cultural beliefs, themselves formed in response to violence and trauma committed by others, and funded by the religious fanaticism of the Flanders family who believe the Burgler has to die to usher in the end times.

Basically, leftists who think no one who calls themselves a leftist/communist/socialist (e.g Stalin) Can do any wrong
