    I’m happy for you, but I don’t share that optimism. Biden is a self-proclaimed capitalist, he’s let ICE and the IDF keep doing their horrible crimes, certainly doesn’t give a fuck about COVID, and time has practically ran out in regards to the climate situation…

      While I agree, I do think there’s a major difference between Biden and Trump and between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party when it comes to all those things.

      Yes, Biden and the Democratic Party could do better. Sure. But it’s still a thousand times better than anything Trump and the Republican Party want for this world. That’s how I see it anyway.

        “Could do better” is useless when we need “exceptional” more than ever, IMHO. The goalposts have shifted so far right since 2016…

          Sure, but I’m going to support the party that wants to do the most. Voting Republican or not voting will just go the opposite direction. That doesn’t help anyone except those who want to take up back to the 1950s.

            Well personally I’m voting third party on principle, not sure who yet but I’m real real tired of people caping for Biden when if he really cared enough to do anything I wouldn’t be terrified of another trump presidency. Ridiculous that that’s still a possibility, but inevitable when our alternative is another less overtly racist capitalist who’s arguably a lot more entrenched on the side of the establishment, undeniably senile and imo, far right for a democrat.
