    So tired of people acting like because I shit on Biden I think Trump is better. All of our options are garbage and I’m not going to pretend that isn’t the case. Yeah, I voted for Biden and I will again. That doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.

      Sure. Totally fair. We could do better than Biden, and I’m sick of voting lesser of two evils since the 80s. (Stupid first past the post voting and electoral college system are largely to blame).

      Also, I’m insanely sick of the deliberately obtuse trolls trying to split the democratic vote. These are the ones insisting we teach the Democrats a lesson and who ignore any argument to the contrary as if Trump and Project 2025 didn’t exist. Nobody of legal age can possibly be that short sighted so I assume it is a psyops campaign or some shit. Makes me reflexively downvote any “but Biden’s genocide” type comments especially when they’re out of left field as above.

        Right. Criticizing a president who is standing by during an active genocide is splitting the democratic vote. Ignoring the fact that a split implies there is a choice.

      Get out of here with that nuance, Satan! Real humans deal in binary only! And in a first past the post system boiled down to a choice between two parties one side is automatically perfect!

      You get downvoted so hard if you say anything negative against Biden. A piss bucket might be better than a turd bucket but that’s not saying a lot.
