    Lol, fuck Joe Rogan and 97% of what’s said on his podcast but this lady nailed it, genocide or genocide light these are likely our choices. Be mad about that, please.

      Please be mad about actual things, and not whatever the right wing makes up.

        Genocide is not a fake thing. It’s a complex situation, but my point is Biden isn’t even a leftist, nor does he seem to care much about human lives at all- the lesser of two evils thing has never been a weaker argument.

            I honestly think Biden IS a republican, practically. Dude was Obama’s VP ffs, he’s a self-proclaimed capitalist and definately cozy with the establishment

                Technically, sure but my answer was pretty plainly yes in between the lines, SatansMaggotyCumFart. He’s building Trump’s wall. He’s not doing shit about Covid but pretend it’s gone away, arguably he could pressure Israel not to commit their palestinian genocide or at least not continue to directly fund it with our tax dollars… Price gouging is still out of control too, and universal healthcare? That’s a joke now, right?

                    I lived through a trump presidency too, and I’ve been just as scared for my life since Biden took power. If he was worth defending he would be doing more to make sure Trump 2024 isn’t even a possibility. But instead he’s alienating his base nonstop and hoping nobody keeps score.

      Both sides are the same, except one side wants lgbt folks dead and the other side doesn’t want lgbt folks dead

      Both sides are the same, except one of them reacts to news about gas stoves being bad by turning on the gas and huffing it, and the other just replaces their gas stove with electric

      Both sides are the same, except one side doesn’t want me to be allowed to hold office because I don’t believe in a god, and in fact bans me from holding office in many of their states for that reason, and the other side doesn’t care whether I believe or not

      But yeah both sides are absolutely exactly the same besides a few minor details

        If Democrats will support one genocide because it’s politically expedient, they’ll support another genocide if it becomes politically expedient.

          You’ve convinced me, I guess I’m fine with the party that presently wants all the lgbt folks dead being in power, because the other one could potentially be swayed to change their present position of not wanting all the lgbt folks dead

            You’re fine with a party that supports genocide as long as the victims are people you consider disposable.

              To clarify, I’m not fine with it, but as an adult I understood that my choices in 2020 were Biden and Trump, and I hope you can understand that Trump would have been as bad as Biden in all the ways he’s bad, and worse than Biden in every other way.

                I’m not advocating for voting third party.

                I’m just scared that the “good” party is so happy to use the same arguments it uses when it kills the minimum wage increase to defend supporting genocide.

                It’s like they’ve given themselves license to do anything as long as republicans can be credibly worse.

              Nah, I already said you convinced me. I fully regret voting Biden in 2020. I mean, if I’d voted 3p, we might have gotten Trump, and life would be worse for everyone, but at least I wouldn’t have tried my best to reduce the amount of suffering in the world by filthying my hands by voting for anyone but Christ himself.

        There are some differences but both sides are pro genocide in the middle east and I can’t give even tacit support to that

          Yup. If my daughter ever has a miscarriage, she’ll be investigated for murder and possibly thrown in jail because us fuckers didn’t just grit our teeth and vote Clinton, but hey it’s fine because both sides are bad, so the greater suffering that exists now is worth it because you and I get to say our hands were clean in 2016.

            That’ll happen because of state laws. We have a dem in the white house right now and he can’t do shit about it. What he is doing is genocide

              No, it’ll happen because fuckers like us allowed Trump to win in 2016, allowing him to install conservatives in the supreme court who gave the states their newfound rights to ban abortion. That shit is 100% on the president, and your daughters and mine, and our granddaughters and their daughters will all have to fight ever harder to claw back the modicum of self-governance the supreme court granted them 50 years ago.

              But I guess I’m not allowed to care about my daughter because the current president isn’t as good as I want him to be. I guess it’s worth letting actual literal fascist Ron Desantis win 2024 as long as we get to say “I didn’t want either party to win,” as if that fucking matters.

                You allowed trump to win in 2016? That’s pretty shitty dude. I would not have done that if I were you.
