No one who is critical of Biden (from the left) is saying he is as bad as trump, this is disingenuous

This meme is a consequence of the duopoly system.. it's a political cartel with no real choice
Hey it's me your average voter. Over the last four years I've recognized and processed 239 salient points that should inform my choice of president. However. I can only hold two or three ideas in my mind at once and I have no concept of the past or future. Jingle some "border invasion" or "Israel committing genocide" keys in front of me and I'll forget everything else.
You wanna know Trump's real power? Look at the size of all of those issues on his side. They are all the same fucking size. "Jan 6th" is the same size as "grammer" but they get lumped together. Next week a new piece of bullshit gets thrown on and further distorts the magnitude of an issue like insurrection.

Zerked it zilly style to this post, and I really felt it in my political self-satisfaction.
No but seriously where do I find actual good and nuanced political discussion that's either about theory or about like, capital hill politics, or the machinations and nuances of the US political system? The specifics of legislature, maybe, more specific pros and cons to each candidacy, possible alternatives, shit like that? Cause it's obviously not here, and not on lemmy generally. The only conversations I am doomed to find here are the same leftist-liberal circlejerk sparring, ad nauseam, and it's really draining me. Mostly because of how obviously vapid, self-serving, and totally useless it is. Does there exist a holy land of good political discourse, or is this just kinda, where we are now?

We have a corporate media that profits off their "both sides" narratives. Then we go around and mocked people for believing the lies those at the top feed us which is bullshit.
We live in a society of specializations where we rely on each other. If oncology doctors privately laughed at their patients for buying snake oil they sold, maybe we should blame oncology and not the patients who frankly have no way to treat cancer themselves.
