You know that Twilight Zone alien from "To Serve Man"?

[Bucky]

If the Democrats nominated him, I'd vote for him. I mean sure, he'd eat a few of us, maybe send a few more of us to his home planet to broil up for Festivus dinner. At the end of the day, he's just a farmer and a farmer wants his livestock to thrive.

By any objective measure, he'd be a better president than Donald Trump



So shut up with your "I can't vote for Bernie" or "I can't vote for Biden" cause if you think that way, either you don't belong on DU or you don't even realize yet you're full of shit.

1. uh, no.

dotard is trying to enslave us as it is.

[Sloumeau]

2. That alien has the same stupid look on his face that Trump usually has. :) eom

[Autumn]

3. A pus filled cyst on the asshole of a frog would make a better president than Trump

I can't recommend this OP enough.

So shut up with your "I can't vote for Bernie" or "I can't vote for Biden" cause if you think that way, either you don't belong on DU or you don't even realize yet you're full of shit.

and thank you.

4. I'll vote for Kang.

But there's no way in hell that I'm voting for Kodos!

5. Whom here has said "I can't vote for..." in the context of the General Election?

[TwilightZone]

7. I've seen a few posters flirting with the edges.

Along the lines of "I refuse to confirm or deny I'd vote for X in the GE", etc.

But they're a tiny minority and I'm not really convinced they're Democrats and/or liberals. A few rabble-rousers seem to be coming out of the woodwork.

6. Serve us....

with some fava beans and a nice Chianti? I think I'd prefer that to another four years of the Mar-a-Lago Moron.

8. I've said it before and I'll say it again...

I and every single person I know who is a registered Democrat, and even every last one of my Independent friends, would vote for a HOLOGRAM over tRump, regardless of one's primary preference.

This whole "Ooooh, Sanders supporters are threatening to take their marbles and go home" narrative is nothing more than a Russian bot campaign instigated and propagated from the basement cubicles of the IRC.

Seriously, has anyone here actually read the Mueller Report? It's really not that hard to understand, folks.

People currently pushing this narrative are allowing themselves to be used as instruments of Russian propaganda.

The "certain people stayed home" storyline was a very appealing post-election narrative pushed by both the Russians and Rethuglican operatives throughout 2017-18.

It was quite clever, really...both soothing and divisive at the same time, while also serving as a distraction to what actually occurred in a small number of counties (at least in the big scheme of things) to throw a national election.

At some point (the sooner the better), everyone should ask themselves the following questions:

1. Was I gullible enough, hurt enough, angry enough to swallow this narrative hook-line-and-sinker after the last Presidential election?

2. Did it make me feel better to have someone to blame---other Americans to blame---while at the same time making me mad?

3. Have I found myself repeating this narrative as a way to relitigate the 2016 election?

4. Am I now using this narrative to "set the table," so to speak, for another round of "blame-game" should things not go our way?

If you find yourself answering "yes" to any of these questions, then you understand and know in your gut why Putin is very pleased to have pronounced "mission accomplished" regarding Phase 1 of this particular initiative.

The current re-emergence of the supposed "petulance narrative" tells us that it did, indeed, work very well for Putin...worked so well that it's time to drive it around the block again for Phase 2!

To what end, you might ask? To understand that, one only need look at what it achieved the last time around:

If you don't understand how voter databases were rigged in 2016 to throw an Electoral College win to IMPOTUS, then you will be equally gobsmacked when it happens again in the 2020 election...

...only, unfortunately, you just might be too busy blaming some other candidate's supporters, rather than looking at what actually happened!

Worked before. Why shouldn't it work again?

To that end, I highly recommend you bring yourself up to speed with information coming to light as a result of investigative journalist Greg Palast teaming up with Stacey Abrams and her "Fair Fight" initiative exposing corrupt vote-rigging.

Vote-rigging occurs with laser-focused purging of specific voter databases, and it only needs to be done in a few places to affect the Electoral College tally.

Once you understand the speeding train you're about to be hit with (again), then get back to me about how important you think it is to argue over a Russian propaganda tagline that induces you to "Look over there, not here!" Fooled you once...

Meanwhile, I've narrowed my short list of preferred primary candidates to the ones I see as having the guts, energy, and wherewithal to contest the results of the next rigged onslaught...and it's definitely coming.

Just ask FBI Director Christopher Wray who keeps shouting from the rooftop that he's not getting the necessary cyber support to throw the train off its rails!

On Edit: I don't mean "you" as in the OP, but rather the general "you" as in everyone. Also, I actually wrote this for a different OP, but thought you might appreciate the thoughts.
