NeverTrumpers Declare: This is a Binary Election, We Cannot Divide Our Votes Between One Candidate and a Third Party Protest Candidate!

Remember 2016?

Remember how insane I'd get when Not-Binary Ben Shapiro would insist the election wasn't biiiiiiinaaaaryyyyy?

Remember when I'd get apopleptic about obvious dishonesty about whether or not dividing the vote between Trump and alleged "conservative" protest candidates -- like the severely conservative Evan McMullin -- made Hillary's election not just likely but almost inevitable?

And the NeverTrumpers would whine that the election wasn't binary so any claims that their agitations made a Hillary victory more likely were just Alt-Right Lies?

Remember?

Remember how NeverTrumpers not-so-secretly wanted Hillary Clinton to win, but didn't want to admit this, because "openly campaigned for Hillary Clinton" doesn't look that great on a supposed "conservative's" resume when he's out shaking his donation cup for new grifts?

And remember how the "it's not biiiiiiinaaaaryyyyy" dodge was used as a plainly dishonest hustle so that they could both agitate for the election of Hillary Fucking Clinton but then come back in 2017 claiming to have always been The Truest of All True Conservative Patriots?

Well, flash forward to today.

Justin Amash-- supposedly a "principled conservative;" The Dispatch and The Bulwark and various cvck libertarian (liberal) corporate-aligned groups are always hailing him as America's Last Hope -- is being talked about as regards a possible third party run.

His run would likely help Trump, by giving NeverTrump Republicans who don't want to vote Democrat a different path for expressing their frustration.

You know, just as Bill Kristol's Deep State catspaw Even McMullin was intended to help Hillary Clinton win by giving Republicans a candidate to vote for besides Trump.

So, how do you expect the NeverTrumpers, who shrieked "It's not biiiiiinaaaaaryyyyy, pushing a third party candidate to split the anti-Hillary vote is not helping Hillary!" will react to Justin Amash's hypothetical bid?

If you guessed "They'll start shrieking the election IS binary and we cannot afford to split the anti-Trump vote," you clearly already read these tweets, because there's no way you could have guessed that even these assholes would have been this blatantly cynical and hysterically inconsistent.

We could split the anti-Hillary vote in 2016, because the election wasn't binary.

But now we can't split the anti-Trump vote in 2020, because the election is binary.

I think in 2016, Kristol, Sykes, French, Goldberg, Hayes, and the rest of the Losers Club thought they would one day be able to grift from conservatives again.

So pretending to not be dedicated to electing Democrats was an important fiction for them.

But now I think they realize they will never grift another Republican dime, and so all future grifts will come only from Democrats (and of course China-connected corporations), so now they have to show Democrats that they are All-In for Democrats.

Meanwhile, let's check in where all the money donated to the "conservative" grifter organization "The Lincoln Project" (which just endorsed Biden, of course) is going.

Any guesses on this one?

Yeah, you're right.

It's all liberal hands on deck as "The Lincoln (Grifting) Project" runs an endorsement of Biden at the True Conservative outlet the Washington Post today.

We've Never Backed a Democrat President Before, But Trump Must Be Defeated

And liberal donors must be shown they're getting good money for their graft.

This November, Americans will cast their most consequential votes since Abraham Lincoln’s reelection in 1864. We confront a constellation of crises: a public health emergency not seen in a century, an economic collapse set to rival the Great Depression, and a world where American leadership is absent and dangers rise in the vacuum.

Today, the United States is beset with a president who was unprepared for the burden of the presidency and who has made plain his deficits in leadership, management, intelligence and morality.

When we founded the Lincoln Project, we did so with a clear mission: to defeat President Trump in November. Publicly supporting a Democratic nominee for president is a first for all of us.

Yeah but you did kinda support Democrats winning the House and Senate in 2018, right?

So this is kind of... precedented, no?

We are in extraordinary times, and we have chosen to put country over party -- and former vice president Joe Biden is the candidate who we believe will do the same.

You're not putting anything over party. Your party is the Democrat party -- the same party you've agitated in favor of for three fucking elections in a row.

How many elections do you get to agitate for Democratic candidates and still claim "Buh we're Republicans"?

Fucking Rick Wilson's already said he's not a Republican any more.

Biden is now the presumptive Democratic nominee and he has our support. Biden has the experience, the attributes and the character to defeat Trump this fall.

He sure knows how to grab them by the pussy, huh?

Unlike Trump, for whom the presidency is just one more opportunity to perfect his narcissism and self-aggrandizement, Biden sees public service as an opportunity to do right by the American people and a privilege to do so.

And also rape unwilling female subordinates by violent digital penetration.

Buh buh buh... buh muh moralz.

Anyway, you get the gist.
