    And this differs from Trump how exactly?

    And Biden being the only one of the two you are allowed to talk shit about doesn’t count as an answer.

    Please, tell everyone- what about Trump makes him the better choice?

        They never have response to this. It’s usually the easiest way to get them to stop trolling. That, or ask them who they’d run in Biden’s place that is currently running and could realistically win against Trump.

          I’m still voting for Biden or whomever they put in but I’m super grumpy that these are our choices.

          How…?

            I’m in that boat with ya. The “how” is simple. We have FAR too many people that sit on their asses In-between elections and they don’t participate until it’s time to vote. And in most cases it’s usually too late to create any good or lasting change.

              That’s not the reason, the reason is because the US electoral system is dominated by the interests of those who pour the most money into it, not the will of the people. Voting harder won’t fix it, the only thing that will is building up parallel structures and pressuring from outside, like what has happened for nearly every major improvement America has seen.

        Trump straight up said he’d be way worse in the debate, but people were too busy complaining about Biden to listen to what Trump said. He literally said he wants Israel to go even further and finish the job! Anyone arguing to not vote for Biden because they’re concerned for Palestinians is full of shit. Full stop.

        At its core, I think it’s basically just the Trolley Problem. Some people would rather passively support a worse situation rather than actively support a better but bad situation.

      Trump is not the better choice, they are equally incompetent and corrupt. You are implying people only have an issue with Biden because of age. There are a myriad of reasons why Biden isn’t liked.

        bOtH siDeS, amirite?

        They are not equally incompetent and there are facts to prove it. But you don’t like facts, so I’ll not bother listing them. They’re out there though. It should take 30 seconds to find them.

        Aside from that- who do you suggest to replace Biden that is running and capable of winning against your boy?

            If you view a literal fascist with a playbook to dismantle democracy and institute dictatorship with the same disgust as a a run of the mill neoliberal, you deserve to be loaded into the cattle car next to me, and I’m going to be calling you an idiot all the way to the gas chambers.

              Run of the mill neolibs are fascist. Tolerating a little bit of fascism to prevent fascism is counterproductive, that’s how we ended up with 2 pieces of shit being the only option on the ballot

                  That’s the bed liberals and conservatives have made for themselves, and are starting to realize it’s not too comfortable

                    So… your plan is to do whatever you can to punish America for not putting up your perfect candidate?

                    That’s fucking GENIUS! I wonder why no one in history has ever thought to do that before.

            Yeah bud, I think my comment history will show that’s a blatant lie. However, YOUR history is shows that you really shouldn’t be accusing the kettle here.

            I’m near certain that most people know why you’re here and what you’re up to. Thais why your ratio is garbage every time you say something- while on a platform that learns VERY far left.
