It’s a thoughtless plea that is only self serving. You think you will effect change this way? By dividing the party. You’re a fool.

It is self serving. That’s the purpose. You’re not taking their concern seriously, so they’re pulling the trigger and saying “Fine, then I’m voting for the thing you fear more than I do.” We don’t live in a perfect world. Flawed people are voting too. Rejecting their look on things might be morally just, but you might just lose the presidency over it. It’s just like getting into a fatal accident on purpose because you “had the right of way”. And some people are seeing this coming, so even if they’d never vote Republican they still see the losing situation not speaking up puts them in.

All I see is infighting when the threat is very real and is very apparent. There is also every angle to bury the Trump but all people can do is turn on each other. These are obvious distractions and if you keep letting them trip you up, as they are intended to, trump will win.

If you can admit the threat is very real and apparent, then you should be in favor of the best candidate the democrats can offer, not specifically Joe Biden. If Joe Biden was that candidate, it wouldn’t even be a question and only a small minority of dissenters would be of that opinion. But instead he’s already the incumbent, which is essentially the best boost you can get, and he’s still making people doubt him. Infighting isn’t resolved by slamming your fist on the table and saying “I’m right, and nobody else gets a say.”. That’s how the Republicans got Trump. Infighting is resolved by getting people together, by making compromises and forging alliances. If you aren’t going to treat democracy as the process to get the most people satisfied with the result, it’s no wonder things get more polarized every time.
