Unfortunately the US is just... very right wing. Even the democrats are right of center on most things. This is just a conservative country. The democrats are about as left as you get in this country with any mainstream support, no matter how much we wish it weren't so.

And I know man, I hate it, and I'm not going to lecture anyone that votes their conscious. If you don't want to vote for democrats, and Biden specifically, I can't blame you. It bewilders me that the most we can get from him over a goddamn genocide is "that's a little much, Jack." If you can't vote for that I get it.

Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that the US is more left leaning than it is. We might win on issue-to-issue polls, but when it comes down to it we're a selfish nation that has bought into the temporarily embarrassed millionaire meme. And I don't think that's just the pessimism talking. We have generations worth of work ahead of us.
