Our democracy is so broken that we have to choose between this shitbag and a wannabe dictator. And we really do have to vote for this shitbag unfortunately. Our system sucks.
There are six people running for president, you don't have to vote for a genocidal geriatric.
That’s no different than not voting at all effectively. Our democracy is a broken system. Biden is the best choice we have realistically and if we don’t vote for him, then we risk having someone so much worse.
lol, ok. you're deluded if you think trump is significantly worse than someone who has fueled a genocide for 6 months with all-you-can-drop bombs. it's like noting that jim jones always held doors open for people before the jonestown massacre. once you do genocide, you're irredeemably evil. people who quibble over whether trump or biden are worse have lost all perspective.
The perspective is that things aren’t black and white. You are making them black and white. There are degrees of bad and Trump is worse. And yes, that’s disappointing. But we still need to keep him out of office because that’s the only actual choice we have in our broken democracy.
How?
He did a lot, but one thing he did was try to overthrow our democracy. Flawed as it is, it’s still better than not having a democracy at all.
Your “democracy” is not “flawed,” it’s a sham to the core. I'm sure the Afghan children that got drone striked under both Obama and Trump see a meaningful difference between the American political parties anyways; your “democracy” is crap and it would be better for the entire world if the US was carpet bombed.
And the fear-mongering surrounding Jan. 6th is so fundamentally stupid, seriously give me a conceivable way this tiny group of chud idiots who couldn’t even hang Mike Pence for the good of humanity could have fundamentally undone American society.
There are degrees of bad and Trump is worse, of course. “Someone who has fueled a genocide for 6 months with all-you-can-drop bombs” is obviously the lesser evil to the man who sent a bunch of brainless zombies trying to climb a wall with a set of stairs feet away to overthrow the US government.
If you saw us get overthrown by a dictator, as Trump attempted to do, you’d see the difference between a flawed democracy and no democracy at all.
Get your fingers out of your ears. You are fundamentally unserious.
Your previous comment has dishonest paraphrasing among other things. You’re fundamentally dishonest in your messages and not worth talking to.
Please, show me the dishonest paraphrasing.
"Our democracy" lmao
Yes, comrade, our democracy. ⚒️
