      Anytime people blame the US government, as if it’s some abstract independently motivated entity, they need to remember that half the American citizenry wants things to be much much worse. They want a climate apocalypse, billionaire feudalism, religious nationalism, reproductive slavery, etc.

      I find these posts blaming “Biden” for Israel or “Congress” for climate change utterly moronic. Dude, your parents and grandparents elected these people. They elected them in primaries for half a century straight, And they will do it again and again until there’s no living creature left on this husk of a planet. But sure, it’s some government representative that’s the problem.

        My parents and grandparents are hardcore leftists. They did not elect these people. Your guys’ parents and grandparents did

          Glad we sorted that one out. Tell you ancestors thank you for their service. Or don’t. I’m not your mother.

        She’s definitely a corporate stooge, but what makes her seem unlikable to you? I’ve found it so refreshing to finally have a presidential candidate that isn’t a totally creepy weirdo for once.

          They could have probably picked some random American citizen and they would be a stronger candidate
