I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

    I'm not sure I had the correct read on the situation, but I felt like punishing the ungrateful working class people was why Sinema seemed so exuberant when voting against a minimum wage increase. At the time, the narrative I was getting from the liberals around me (drunk on CNN and msnbc bullshit) was that Trump was president because of a mixture of Russian intrigue and the inherent stupidity of people that are also poor. As usual, there was no class based analysis, no recognition that lots of poor people don't even vote, and definitely no distinction between rural working people and petty bourgeois tyrants using working class aesthetics. These liberals somehow came away with the idea that American politics are actually controlled by people living in collapsing trailers, so punishing them by withholding a higher minimum wage was a good thing to do.

      I still remember an incident from back when I posted on an extremely lib now defunct politics message board on a gaming site a few years before I found Hexbear

      There was this story about a train filled with shit from NY being sent to an Alabama town and how the residents were suffering

      Over 100 bloodthirsty replies from inhuman neoliberal scum all screaming "that's what they get for voting for Trump!"

      Apparently I was the only one who actually read the article beyond the title so I pointed out that the vast majority of that town were black and hadn't voted for Trump, I didn't get a single response or even any acknowledgement from those worms

      That was the day I began to understand that liberals are irredeemable, I will never forget
