These days Vote Blue No Matter Who means voting for a war criminal who supports genocide, mass incarceration, mass surveillance, has destroyed pandemic precautions and has undermined democracy. Instead Vote Green.

Biden and Trump are far closer on policy than blind supporters of either will ever agree. They are also alike in that neither wants to debate primary opponents. Neither of them are good for democracy for a variety of reasons.

Putin was wrong to invade Ukraine but the issue is more complicated than the US government's official line. Policy should concentrate on achieving peace as opposed to endless war continued destruction in Ukraine.

I hate how Joe Biden has done pretty much everything I was afraid Donald Trump would do, and broken his campaign promises of significance.

Hate lockdowns and mask mandates? Cleaner indoor air by better filtration and ventilation will make lockdowns and mask mandates less necessary in the inevitable next pandemic.

Republicans are a lost cause. If there is any hope for the US we must reform the Democratic Party and not tolerate their continued moves to the right or their own mishandling of Covid. Being not as bad as the Republicans is not good enough.

When Hillary Clinton led a neocon takeover of the Democratic Party in 2016 we warned that this would lead to further wars in both the Middle East & Europe, and possibly lead to WWIII, Democrats denied it was possible. Biden, who is less hawkish than Clinton, shows what we warned about could, and now has, come true.

Cornel West predicts Biden will drop out as LBJ did in 1968. Hopefully he will drop out but a key difference is that in 1968 LBJ was embarrassed in the New Hampshire primary. Democrats changed the primary rules to keep that from happening to Biden.

Biden approval continues to fall, including drops among both independents and even Democrats. A failed president like Biden should not be protected against a meaningful primary process.

Why do so many Democrats think that, as important as abortion rights are, it is ok to support Democratic warmongers who literally are responsible for killing women and children in other countries because of abortion?

If you look at what they say, Donald Trump is far worse than Joe Biden. If you look at what they actually have done, both are terrible, but Biden has done worse, from his mishandling of Covid to genocide in Gaza (two different issues which resulted in his Genocide Joe nickname).

The polls keep getting worse for Biden. Sticking with Biden risks a win for Trump.

Democrats should be very worried about Biden in the 2024 election. First thing they need to learn is that Biden supporters insulting those questioning voting for Biden does not help--and makes such Democrats look just as bad as Trumpers to independents. Making lame excuses for Biden's terrible record does not help either.

Biden ran on a Covid plan which included paid time off work to allow those infected to remain at home. This promise was never kept and instead government policy has increasingly been to send people back to work when still infectious, allowing Covid to spread out of control.

Seeing Hillary Clinton all over television telling lies to justify genocide in Gaza is further evidence that those of us who refused to vote for either Trump or Clinton in 2016 were absolutely right.

Blocking annoying people who argue is important to make social media less toxic. The big difference between Twitter and Mastodon is that on Twitter I'm primarily blocking anti-vaxxers and on Mastodon I'm primarily blocking Blue Anon.

About 70 cities have passed resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The nation is rebelling against Biden. The war criminal must be removed from the ticket or the Democratic Party loses all credibility.

Why is it so hard for many Democrats to understand that the United States government mishandled Covid in 2020 under Trump and has continued to mishandle it under Biden since he dropped the plan he ran on in 2022 and switched to Trump's plan?

The SOTU was painful to watch. Such a combination of lies and right wing, pro-war, even racist framing mixed in with a handful of progressive promises he will never keep. Meanwhile, despite his mission accomplished claims, Covid will continue to kill and disable due to Biden dismantling public health precautions, and the genocide will continue in Gaza. Genocide Joe has got to go.
