    But remember folks! There’s a lot of (disillusioned) people here that would like everyone to know that Trump and Biden are exactly the same!

      No. Just no. We pressure Biden because we want him to be better. We believe he can be. Trump is a lost cause who should be in prison for attempting a coup.

        No, you do it because you’re a weaksauce milquetoast coward who goes after the weaker party in a confrontation because you care more about avoiding conflict than you do about what’s right.

        And you’re alienating all of the pro-Palestine people who want a third party, and literally anyone else who wants literally anyone else in office other than those two cretins.

        It won’t kill you to support something different instead of being a cowardly little weasel for once in your life, I promise you.

            Are you listening at all or are you just looking for a cheap gotcha moment?

            Instead of advocating for a third party that can possibly offer us something better, all they have to offer is more of the same or a concentration camp, and neither choice is acceptable.

                Then all of you find a third party and vote for them instead of Biden. Force the change you want to see in thr world. Until then, get out of my face.

                  Have you tried coordinating 5 people for a dinner party? Imagine trying to get 75 million people to all agree to switch to one of various third parties?

                  Biden got the most votes of any president in history. Trump is ranked number two. It is simply a risk we cannot take at this time. If you vote 3rd party in 2024, you are betting your rights, women’s rights, non-Christians rights, LGBTQ rights, worker’s rights, and the possiblity of ever having free and fair elections on the most hazy of fevered pipe dreams. Anyone who does this a fucking moron. You’re out here bitching about how conservative Biden is, when christofascist terrorists have a gun pressed into the back of your head. You can feel morally superior in your ghetto I guess.

                    Then the left would not have been able to organize at all, yet here we are.

                    People are moving away from Biden and standing by him is going to cost you the future of this country.

      absolutely no one has ever legitimately argued that. the point is that both choices suck and we get no say in it
