Make sure you don't vote for Biden though, because of that one issue you suddenly care about.
Inb4 the standard myopic replies from .ml accounts
That will also be significantly worse under Trump.
Yeah, but then 81 year old Biden will have sure have learned his lesson (wags finger)
Anyone who says any politician has learned a lesson is lying.
What a bad "cynicism is easier than engaging with reality" zero-brain take.
Many politicians just suck. Of course.
But some politicians are clearly trying, growing, learning, and improving. And throwing them out with the bathwater, giving them no support, and equating them to the ones that suck is terminally, suicidally stupid.
But hey, cynicism is easy. People think you're cool, and you don't have to put any effort in.
I hope Biden can grow and improve quicker, like preferably before election day so a bunch of voters won't feel bad about voting for him. I really don't want Trump.
Biden is easily the best president of my lifetime by a factor of 10, but good governance is boring and quiet, while propaganda is loud and distracting.
If just doing a good job isn't enough, then what else is there?
He's pretty good on most things, except the genocide issue. Which is unfortunate because that's a big one for a whole lot of people. Which makes sense. No one will say Mussolini helped the trains run on time or Hitler's wars helped the German economy. The other bad things they did make those things seem less consequential. Genocide is like that. A lot of people here are lucky because they live in the imperial core, but for others who knows those being affected by the foreign policy, then it's priority rises even more.
It is also the lone issue that Repubs somehow aren't oppositional defiant disorder about. "Let's get the Muslim ban guy back in there, he'll save Palestine."
Turns out there are plenty of useful idiots who think they are insulated from the consequences of an election by campus security and daddy's money.
But then others of them know what they're up to. They want Donald to help speed the collapse so China can gain more ground. That's hypocrisy, those guys don't give a shit about human rights abuses as long as the nation committing them pretends to be socialist.
I.e. russian trolls playing the "thoughtful liberal" telling a heartfelt story about how they cannot vote for Biden in good conscience because of this issue.
Myopia is common in all computer users though?
I like how you avoid saying what the issue is, because it sounds a lot worse when you say it's genocide. I think that's a fair line in the sand to draw for people. Hopefully Biden movies on that stance soon so we don't get Trump. We all better keep pushing him.
If they actually cared, they wouldn't be willing to risk allowing Trump to take over and do worse.
Ding ding
I stopped voting when Obama didn't stop that thing that we "suddenly care about". Blue MAGA == Red MAGA
Also, leftist single issue voters == right wing single issue voters
Would a person be a single issue voter if Trump being the president was the issue? 🤔
Nah, once you consider being for or against someone to be a "single issue", then most votes through history get wrapped up in it, rendering it kind of moot.
Additionally, I can easily break down the actual issues behind why I'm voting against trump :)
