        It should have been Bernie - and yet I and every Bernie voter I know are hell-bent on voting Biden. Because no Bernie voter who isn’t a troll or a moron thinks that Trump will improve the status of the left-wing in this country.

        I hate these Very Concerned Voters™ online who push these purity tests.

        He kind of gave them the thumbs up tbh. It definitely doesn’t need to be brought up on every post about him but I don’t think framing it as “unilaterally discarded a long-standing alliance” is being honest about it. It’s also a genocide, not tax evasion.

      Oh right, it’s an election year so we’re not allowed to feel bad things about a generally lame president. We gotta suck down the blue flavoraid or else the red flavor aid drinking idiots might scootch closer to winning.

      Forget about actually doing anything though. Let’s just gaslight each other until he suddenly seems like a decent president.

        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.

          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!

          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.

              Not what I’m talking about.

          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.

        Also to remember the Democrat pizzaphile eaters who have satanic meetings about the eating of pizzas and handkerchiefs. Many people are saying so, more and more. It makes the most sence not to vote and all of my tiktok generation are not voted.
