Sigh.
We are so fucked.
In 2024, barring any real surprises, there will be an option between two old men... A senile fascist who literally quotes Hitler and a doddering old grandpa.
I'll take grandpa. The worst he'll do at this point is die.
For me, a queer atheist with a brown Jewish partner, there’s no question about me voting for Biden. It doesn’t matter mathematically because I live in a dark blue district in a dark blue state, but I’m going to cast that vote. I also recognize that the choice is between an elderly conservative with outdated ideas and the possible end of American democracy.
The reason why I think we are well and truly fucked is that our standard bearer is among the most milquetoast presidential office holders since Bush I. Neither the democrats nor the press has any idea how to deal with the existential crisis we are facing. Trump had his followers chanting “lock her up” against his political opponent. Biden is keeping the dignity of the office of the president.
I don’t know if there’s a better tactic, but people making millions of dollars as political consultants have had since 2015 to come up with a counter strategy, and this is the best they’ve given us. They do not know how to deal with a successful fascist populist.
Honestly, Carter is still alive and only served one term.
It's kind of surprising the DNC isn't trying to run him.
You know, I really wouldn’t have minded at all if the previous administrations had Carter on speed dial for policy advice.
I disagree with this part. It does matter because there's always so much talk about popular vote. I'm glad you're voting anyhow! 👍
I won't vote for Biden for a myriad of reasons but I'm sure as shit not voting for Trump either.
The entirety of our federal election is built on a false dichotomy and I won't contribute to it.
How is it false?
Are you voting for a third party or are you abstaining from voting?
We'll see when it comes closer to that time. Historically I have voted for whoever I liked or just not voted at all. Maybe 50/50.
A choice between supporting a genocide and starting a fresh new genocides.
Bold to assume djt wouldn't do both
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply he wouldn't. Trump is strictly more genocide.
I think Trump would be more Purge than genocide.
And before anyone just indicate "Oh but they're in the White House". Let's not forget Melania Trump's perspective on Christmas at the White House in 2020.
Also something Trump pointed out in the speech.
Buddy Trump, you ordered the troops out of there. I mean it was "so bold™" that FoxNews was liberally sucking what can only be scientifically classified as Trump's penis. Biden was just following up with the order that you gave. WTF _ LOL?!
The thing you need to remember, and it's hard because constant coverage has made us grow used to it, is that he's nuts.
No energy independence? Doesn't the US extract more oil than they ever have?
