MODERATORS
I mean, I read the response you replied to as "it not just biden, it is the system as a whole, and anyone that ever got close to being president".
And I agree. every president you have, there is some unjust war you are involved. As americans get pissed with their president, the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and says "here they go again".
genocides are gonna keep happening as long as you keep voting for these dumbasses in your primaries. And I can't see the situation changing anytime soon.
If you can find someone who has a chance of winning and will do something than please point them out
my quick reply would be Bernie Sanders
And the democrats did everything they could to make sure he would not win the primary in spite of how popular he was. There is no winning.
Unfortunately in the US running for president has serious financial barriers. Even the wealthy people who run need to appeal to corporate sponsors(I personally call this corruption, but the Supreme Court apparently decided it's not.)
I don't know how we are ever going to get a decent human being as a candidate until that changes, and I don't know how to change it. We can vote, but only for whoever has money, and none of those candidates seem to even acknowledge this is a very serious problem. It's not even on their political radar, so it's not a talking point.
Plus, even if a decent, non corrupt person managed to make it to the primaries and win.... the electoral college could just vote the corrupt candidate in anyway.
Sorry rest of the world... I wish our system wasn't totally fucked.
