  • In every election I’ve been capable of voting in my candidate didn’t win the primary, and its always come down to two other clear options that could take it. One of those bags of shit has always been obviously and obscenely worse than the other. In local elections? Hell yeah. In primaries? Hell yeah. Senate races? Hell yeah. But at the finish line of the last few elections its moronic to not vote for whoever has the best shot of beating trump. I agree with you about most everything you’ve said and the rigged money infested political system here does need to go, I just think that in practice saying “both sides bad” on any presidential election lately is pretty foolish because the obvious worst case scenario is happening as we speak. What’s your proposition for fixing it? what is your actionable response? How’re you changing it? Did you cast a ballot?




  • It seems like you missed the part where he ran for president and couldn’t get there. Pragmatically it was either sleepy Joe or T-bag, so him endorsing Biden was less about him agreeing with DNC policy and more to prevent the return of trump. I can’t understand how you don’t understand that. Voting is damage control, and the U.S. population not voting for the lesser of two evils in this last cycle has now allowed a swollen, poorly painted, anthropomorphic, pus-filled wart to extort the entire nation and level its financial and military strength against the entire rest of the world. All that said, the biden/Harris admin was complicit in the worst humanitarian disaster that I’ve been alive for and none of that is okay.


  • Man, the criticisms are valid, and I’ll even add to them because his pride in not stepping down sooner doomed what shreds of american democracy were left. That said, the best and largest climate bill ever passed by the US govt happened under him. Unions were bolstered and grew under him (not the train workers tho lol) and if nothing else, his victory let me not think about the fat orange cow for ten minutes. In so many ways, I pity and even kinda miss that sad sleepy bastard-- however much he floundered in almost every way. As a bonus his dogs hated government agents as much as I do, and got to bite them with impunity.
