    And everyone who votes for Biden agrees with you. We all also understand that now is not the fucking time

      It never is the “fucking time”!

      This is why every election cycle as the Republicans get ever more repugnant, the Democrats follow them since all they need to be is a tiny bit less bad - or at least that’s what they believe and all the Stockholm Syndrom victims preaching “we have no other choice” keep on confirming their belief every 4 years.

      That’s how you ended up with a choice between two genocide supporters - because it has never been the “fucking time” for the last 3 decades so the Democracts felt confident to not give a rats arse about their electorate, only big donors and those who give gold-plated non-executive board memberships and million-dollar fees in the speech circuit to “friendly” politicians.

        MLK addressed ‘a convenient time’ in a Letter from a Birmingham Jail. James Baldwin asked in 1989 how much time do they want for their progress.

        Its never the right time, which keeps the duopoly in power and the working class subjugated.

        Yup. I agree. Let’s talk about this next year though and I’ll back you fully

              Too soon after the election. To close to the next one. We just need 8 more decades of running for dogcatcher. We need to have ranked choice voting first. Biden obliquely hinted about thinking about doing something on a hot mic, so we need to give him a chance.

              There is always an excuse. There will always be an excuse.

                So you understand the sitting president wants this. Do you realize he also can’t do everything he wants because he HAS to get reelected or everything goes to shit?

                Give him 4 more years and a lot more will get done

            ??

            You were complaining about being ignored. How would it just start then?

              You’re right. Being ignored will continue unabated, not start.

              The important part is that the people are ignored forever.

                So instead of trying to come together for the better of everybody you’re just going to whine the whole time? I already said I will 100% be on your side after this battle I’m in, yet you won’t put down your arms.

                Fun fact: I’ve lived in Germany. I’ve seen ranked voting first hand and fully agree with it. I am on your side. Just that battle is not the battle worth fighting right now. Get the Non-dictator-wannabe in office first right now. That’s key
