    Maybe we need to do better to give ourselves that choice. But we haven’t.

    Yea, that’s why everyone’s pissed that we’re still stuck with Biden. Why should we expect it to be any different after he wins this time?

      Because his administrations track record over the last 3.5 years has been really good and they have made progress in a lot of areas. He has fucked up with Israel and he’s old, but the experts that he’s surrounded by that actually make the decisions will still be there if he wins. No President can just snap their fingers and make everything good, especially when the other parties goal is to obstruct and make counterprogress in everything. Quit reading headlines about his bumbled speech and look up the laundry lists of accomplishments from this admin.

        He’s made 0 progress resolving that particular situation. The supreme court just handed him a blank check and the first thing he did was say he wouldn’t use it.

          Because when you are the good guy you throw away the elder wand. Or the one ring. Etc…

            You don’t throw it away. You destroy it. He’d have to use it to do that though and might as well clean house while he’s at it.

              Being what we don’t want Trump to be is a dumb way to differentiate ourselves from Trump.

                I want a government free of corruption. Using unlimited executive power to clear that out and then put safeguards in place to prevent it from reoccurring sounds a hell of a lot better than what the democrats have been doing. The cat is out of the bag, if he doesn’t use it the next guy will.
