But what can you really do? Not voting is beneficial to the open christo fascists, and the only person who has any real world shot at winning an election, for some mind melting reason Joe Biden. The same Joe Biden, who despite his kinda actually not terrible first term, is currently funding a genocide as the wold watches. It’s a shit choice, but this problem isnt going to be fixed this cycle. It’s like punching the clock.
Oh for sure. I’m just saying the DNC is going to put up Biden, no matter what, so that’s our choice this round. Action can be taken for 2028, but be real… They’re not going to change horses.
I agree with you completely. I think the DNC is going to do what they want, and it will take time and deliberate action to change them. This cycle is going to be a Trump/Biden election. I don’t see a way around it. Here’s to 2026 and 2028 for making progress with elections. In the meantime we still have to donate and support with our time.
I’ll be volunteering for Biden, because that’s the best cause I believe I can support during this election. Doesn’t mean I’m super pumped on him being the candidate.
Don’t hate service members. Most of them are poor kids looking for a way to get to college. That said, you should absolutely criticize our military and it’s leaders.

Fact check, just because I had never seen this and it’s bananas… The image is real, but it was the title of talk or some nonsense. They’re being “tongue in cheek” but also are they?

Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances.

I’m not giving Biden a full pass, but inflation has struck across the globe. Why do you think we would be special?
There’s a land war on in Europe, and another more recently in the middle east, tech is still confused about how to deal with a post COVID world, and just laid off hundreds of thousands of employees, refugees from climate crisis and political unrest are fleeing across the Americas, Asian and Europe, nationalism has been on the rise for nearly a decade, and here at home the GOP is in a true state of crisis, as their old guard evil white guys are dealing with the insane fascists new guys.
The world is crazy right now, but eggs are expensive, so fuck voting I guess.
Sure, I’ve uprooted plenty. Some people have circumstances… Like a dependent parent or dependence on a job for insurance. Being human is hard for plenty of people without all the added shit.
