      “My candidate is less fascist” isn’t the flex you think it is.

      Fascism is fascism, just cause one has a pretty bow doesn’t mean they won’t come after you next.

        Yes it is. Boolean ultimatums and ultra-idealism will always fail to make progress. Conflating Biden and Trump isn’t just dumb, it’s dangerous. It’s like having to choose between a paper cut and nuclear fallout and saying “both hurt so they’re the same; I refuse to choose either because I don’t like pain.” Well no shit Sherlock, nobody likes pain. But if you have to choose, do it, otherwise you risk others choosing nuclear fallout on your behalf. Suck it up and take the paper cut.

          20+ years of supporting the Democraic push to the right by “lesser of two evils” logic is what gave us Trump in the first place, why dems will never do anything to actually stop Republicans.

          The kicker and truth of it is, y’all don’t want to. You’d rather have Trump than ever concede an inch to the left - which is why y’all never complain about them except name dropping your boogeyman as an excuse to blame all your problems on leftists.

          To come back to the point y’all intentionally love to ignore - If its the lefts fault you lose like you screech anytime a dem loses, maybe its time to cater to them instead of calling them stupid babies who hate reality then surprised pikaching that they don’t vote for you. Hell, Y’all still parading Hillary on late night to tell people to “get over themselves” THAT’LL rally voters unhappy with genocide Joe and the fascist DNC that went to court to assure they do whatever the fuck they want!

          TLDR: You don’t think the party backing a racial cleansing WON’T be coming after gay and trqnd folk in a cycle or two? To quote your boo, Get over yourself.

            I got a little curious and started looking over your user.

            • You said you were homeless and a military recruiter kept dropping off care packages for you and that’s how you got in the military
            • You take an interest in China / TikTok stories that’s just slightly unusual, to me
            • You said you worked for the Democratic party but the rank-and-file shunned you because you were too left for their neoliberalism (posted under a story about Bernie fucking Sanders who was the most popular politician of his generation with the rank and file, I guess because he was neoliberal enough for them)
            • You said you got banned from .world because they were hosting Nazi content – can you point me to that Nazi content?

            Overall, I call bullshit

            You’re off the deep, buddy. I don’t know who you’re accusing of all these things, but none of that is me. Remember to take your meds, I do.

        I sure hope you’re a cishet white man, because otherwise this attitude is going to make your life worse when Trump wins and makes your life worse

          Y’all furiously masturbate over your holier than thou savior complex, but there’s not a single issue that you have a defense for Biden that isn’t “Yeah he’s bad but Trump will do it worse.” Democracy is dead, there is one party, and you Dems hit ALL the same fascist bullet points as Republicans - which is why y’all never bother complaining about or attacking them, you dedicate all your time to attacking anyone left of Genocide Joe. You love Trump because he’s the boogeyman you need to justify marching further rightward.

          Spoiler alert, when your acceptable “lesser evil” is GENOCIDE - You’re just evil. Waving your little pride flag doesn’t change that, and you’ll be supporting the Dems when they move from racial cleansing to nonbinary folk in an election cycle or two.

            Let’s say this is accurate. Forget the actual good things he’s done which others have pointed out already, let’s say he’s literally going to do nothing good, and the only thing he has on Trump is that he’s not as bad.

            It’s still a moral imperative to vote for him. You have a choice between some people suffering, and more people suffering. Choosing to let more people suffer so that you can pretend you had nothing to do with it makes you partially culpable. It’s like the trolley problem, but the choice is between 1 person or that 1 person and 5 more. The only thing you can do is pull the lever and make the trolley miss the 5 people, and you’re complaining that one person will still die, so you’d rather see all 6 dead than participate the system and save anyone.

            You can pretend that it’s a way of protesting all you want, you can pretend that maybe it’ll signal that the system needs to change, but not engaging with the system out of protest is visually identical to not engaging with the system because you don’t care at all. Vote in primaries, spend the other 1,460 days between elections protesting all you want, but on election day, you have exactly two choices: some people die, or those same people and more die. Choosing not to vote is only telling the powers that be that you don’t care which one happens.

            I’ve posted a short bulleted list of pretty big ones before
