      Okay, so instead of a fast plummet to fascism, you’re cool with the slow-slide into fascism as Biden fails to defend our voting and civil rights?

      Virtually every civil-rights and voting-rights promises he’s made has either stalled or just been forgotten entirely. We are approaching the point where it’s - literally - do or die. you don’t win fights by staying defensive. You need to be offensive and make wins.

      Biden is not doing that. Has not been able to do that, even with both the senate and the house nominally under democrat control- albeit with extremely tight margins

      So, to you point, electing Biden is also standing around while fascists do their thing… Biden may not be playing the fiddle, but he’s not putting out the fires, either.

        Umm, so you prefer the fast plummet into fascism? Yeah, I’m not cool with that.

        You get to choose the lesser of two evils. And, no, refusing to choose isn’t an option; failure to vote for the lesser evil will benefit the worse one. So, unless you’re actually in favor of things going to hell as fast as possible, your entire argument is bunk.

          The lesser of two evils is still evil, and in point of fact, the entire fucking reason we’re in this fucking mess.

          We need something different, and that means not the guy who promised to not change anything.
