Biden ran on debt cancellation, not a debt forgiveness of loams already eligable for debt relief.
This did nothing for me and thus I will give biden nothing.
Do you? Your only argument is better than trump.
You deserved to be mocked, your playing into the same lesser of Two evils logic they were using with George W bush.
You said it was zero but it wasn't.
On basically ever single issues Biden is better than Trump I'm at least some way. That's about as good as it can get in our two party system.
You're just using ad hominems. And it shows how dogshit your arguments are.
And yet everything still sux.
You: Would you like to eat dog shit or chicken shit. ?
Me : I don't want to eat any shit.
You: you must choose chicken shit or we will have to eat dog shit every day!!!!!
Me: What if we found something other than shit to eat?
You: better than dog shit! better than dog shit! better than dog shit!
You're not understanding. Everything sucking is better than everything being made intentionally worse.
Fixed it.
You have not found something better. There are three options:
Cardboard
Shit
You waste your vote and have to eat shit.
So why you think picking number 3 is the best option is beyond me.
Biden is not cardboard in my mind. It is not acceptable or palatable at all.
It's actually really funny to me that you decide to make this choice. To purpose biden is not chicken shit but instead cardboard.
The fact that you look at biden and the genocide that he is directly helping commit, and see that as acceptable, Says a lot more about you than me.
You are a genocide apologist.
Or in other words, carboard.
Dude, cardboard is not acceptable. I never said it was. I have explicitly told you that the current situation is not acceptable.
Dude I am so close to getting banned from c/conservative for saying Isreal's genocide is bad. You've got it backwards.
Then why are you accepting it?
A vote for biden is support for him to continue doing what he does. How do you not see that ?
While I can appreciate that. ( although its probably a waste of time) It doesn't absolve you from what your doing here.
You are actively pushing people to vote for a party who absolutely supports the genocide. They are the ones in power now. They are the ones who cut the check. There is always nuance, but there is no watering this down.
Biden supports genocide , you support Biden.
You support genocide.
I'm not. I'm specifically voting against it where possible.
Not really. A vote for Biden is a vote against Trump.
50 is bigger than 5. So I'll vote for 5.
I'm aware it's largely a waste of time. That's why I do it at work when I'm trying to kill time.
The democratic party is split. That's not good. But in comparison the republicans are at nearly 100% support for the current genocide, plus they are cool with a second one in Ukraine.
Both sides are not equal here.
I don't support Biden. I voted against him in the primaries. I hate his policy just as much as you do. You can vote for a politican without agreeing with 100% of what they do.
I'm doing what I can to reduce the impact of this country's terrible politics. And that start with making sure the least bad politician is the one that gets in, because doing nothing means the worst option (Trump) gets put in power.
I could just as easily say you support genocide.
You support Trump. Trump supports genocide. Therefore you support genocide.
