Tell me which democrats before Trump's term was "ignoring their constituents for business interests" - show your work, please. Because you sound like a bipartisan moron.
If you can't understand how bad trump was and will be, you're fucking retarded. I agree that trump is a symptom but the disease is dumbasses that value social issues like abolishing trans rights and wanting to restore the ability to say the "hard R" without getting fired.
Biden (or his cabinet, whatever) has done so much good for this country that it fills me with a white hot rage that there's still so much opposition to what is essentially the best presidency we've had in decades. You know what? I think you're part of the problem. I think you don't know the first thing when it comes to policies, legislation, bills, laws, economic incentives, budgets, etc. I think you think you're just "looking at both sides, man".
Sorry if that's a bit harsh but you guys speak so confidently about issues you know nothing about. I'll try to make it easier: if you're a Democrat, vote Biden. If you're not a Republican, vote Biden. If you don't like Biden but hate Trump, then vote Biden. If you're unsure (then you shouldn't be allowed to have kids, honestly) vote Biden and thank me later. If you're a Trump supporter I'll pray for you but vote Trump. If you're a Republican and don't like Trump, I'm so sorry.
Don't get so shocked when someone points out that the Washington establishment shares a lot of common values. I think we all know that intuitively, and yet here you are cussing people out because they pointed it out yet again.
You want some issues that show how Obama failed, how Biden has failed? Okay. Campaign finance reform, housing, strict anti-monopoly legislation, stopping wars.
The biggest thing in your rant that you got totally wrong is that you talked about both sides as if there are only two sides. In reality everyone has their own agenda, but if you get stuck in that trap where you think there's only two people that you could possibly support it's easy to forget that neither of them cares about most of the things that you hold dear.
I get the feeling that a lot of these people think that somehow withholding their vote to punish Biden is some kind of ultimate punishment and it allows them to feel superior without having to do anything else to actually contribute.
It gives them another 4 years of absolving themselves of any bad things that happen in the government. "Not my fault"
Same smug cowardice that libertarians love to preen over.
Its tactical. The right is in distress bc theyre so damn unpopular and their base is shrinking while the left is growing. So, for our enemies, its time to turn us against each other and convince us "voting bad." Bc low turn out is the only way they win. And they say, "but itll keep happening," except, it wont. Bc theyre in distress. Bc theres less and less boomers to vote for shit. So now, on the eve of tides turning, "wah! Itll always be this way! Give up, dont vote! The right will eventually win!"
Yeah. Tell people that voting for Biden is a vote for the removal of MAGA from politics.
I have yet to hear a convincing argument for why someone who says they won't vote for Biden shouldn't be actively voting for Trump.
They're the same thing... Like, on every level.
Nah the shit im seeing is more thay theyre the same thing so either dont vote bc fuck the system (and get full blown dictatorship, which the amerikiddies have never actually felt or heard first hand about to distinguish from authoritarian-lite biden) or dont vote/vote third party to push biden and the democrats left (which wont work in trump's murica where the slightest political deviation will be criminalized). Or they want fascism to speed along the revolution they claim to want. Bc thats going great in russia -___-
I think genocide is bad and that Build Back Better was always going to be killed by the Democratic Party from the very start
He is a C+ president at absolute best.
Which makes him the best president since LBJ
Which means we need to dispose of our current political and civic order and replace it with a better model.
Even something like Finland would be a drastic improve
