MODERATORS
Was that ever a serious debate?
Yes. Republicans are worse.
Doesn’t make Biden “good”. This isn’t a hallmark whodunnit.
The serious debate is defeating trump. I think that’s the only, actual, debate.
Constantly shitting on Biden and discouraging participation is not helpful. And it is constant.
So at what point does Biden cross a line for you?
At what point is lessor of two evils evil enough to say “maybe we find someone else,”?
I would have thought genocide, but whatever. Guess we get to be the bad guys.
What point? When there’s more than six months between now and the collapse of democracy in America.
How - how? - do you expect to find and run somebody else? Alien invasion, okay. Time-skip-wormhole-dealy, I could see that. But in real life? Not bloody likely.
What a convenient excuse to support a genocide.
Da
I was told once on here that Trump would be better for the Palestinians because if Trump was in office the Democrats would fight it harder. Which is the dumbest logic I've ever heard in my life.
. . . yeah. that is pretty dumb.
Maybe not here, but on other bigger social media sites it was definitely the narrative.
It's the narrative here too. "both sides just as bad"
There was an article a day or two ago about Biden approving a $1 billion arm package to Israel. He also condemned the university protests. He's also been defending Israel at the UN. This is barely anything.
Criticizing Biden doesn't mean Trump doesn't suck. It just means people expect better of Biden. If Mussolini and Hitler were on the ballot you couldn't expect people to be excited for Mussolini.
Comparing Trump and Biden to Hitler and mussolini. Yeah, that's a both sides moment
