    Yes, we understand you want Trump to be elected. We figured that out when you posted the first Cornel West post.

      I don’t even like cornel west and it’s been said a million times but opposing Biden ≠ supporting trump. The electoral college decides who becomes president, your vote doesn’t matter just the statistics do. I can’t in good conscience support either of them because they really are more or less the same. Both support Palestinian genocide, both had a racist border wall being built during their term, both are ostensibly pandemic deniers and pedophiles. Fuck defending anyone interested in politics tbh, but Joe Biden? Joe Biden is like Elon musk - people will leap to his aid for whatever goddamn reason like he’s the Messiah idk why you’d waste your time for him

          Sure, there’s a list of things he has done, technically to his credit he isn’t sleeping ALL day, but biden still isn’t trying hard enough in my book. Like, none of that means shit really. I look at that and don’t see the bare minimum a democratic president should be doing, and the bar I set is fucking low I assure you.

        I don’t think you know how our elections work. FPTP system, no guaranteed airtime or debate time for eligible candidates, and no spending limits say your statement is wrong.

          Who needs to defend a narcoleptic oligarch racist who insists he’s a leftist and a capitalist at the same time? You’re defending one of the most powerful people in the world. Hope you’re getting paid lol
