So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I'm not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

Biden is funding genocide and is working in creating mechanisms that allow him to do so behind closed doors.

He has also made a few limp wristed pushes for things he has not delivered on, but if he is renewed, he has said he wants to TRY to do some of the things he promised some more.

To repeat, Biden funding of the genocide of Palestine sailed through with massive success.

Democrats need to find something better to offer. Fast.

Biden is still the best choice. People will vote for him until they can't.

Thanks for saying it so clearly.

People would rather vote for the slow death of America than the fast death of America.

People. You don't need to vote for the death of America. You have that choice.

They conditioned you to think you must support evil.

We can still show that we don't support evil.

Are you talking about protesting by not voting or wasting a vote on a 3rd party? Without ranked choice voting, the only good spot for that is primaries and small local elections. The lesser of two evils is still the lesser of two evils. Life will be a hell of a lot worse for tons of people if the former guy wins again.

The problem is that eventually the GOP is going to win a presidential election. In a 2-party system, it's an eventuality, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Unless we radically reshape our government, that GOP fascist takeover being planned for now IS going to happen, but Democrats aren't even talking about that, they're just trying to cling to the broken status quo for as long as they can.
