Image description: An image macro with two panels. In the first a bunny labeled “BIDEN” is holding a clipboard while looking up to an older woman labeled “VOTER.” In the second panel, the bunny is saying “would you like to keep Trump out of the white house” and it becomes clear that the clipboard, which is obscured from the vision of the older woman, contains the to-do list for an evil plan
I honestly thought critiquing the guy unilaterally funding genocide with taxpayer dollars would be a more popular take on here than the up/downvote ratio is showing.
I fully believe Trump is a bigger threat to democracy being the dumbfuck fascist he is, but I don’t see how I’m supposed to be excited about voting for a guy who’s clearly funded by lobbyists and in turn is paying for the country of Israel to murder innocent Palestinians, amongst other things like ignoring cries for debt relief and socialized medicine and codifying access to abortion
You have my updoot. I’m a leftist so I live in this Schrodingers Valley where I’m a useless stupid baby who exists only to be laughed at but simultaneously the #1 reason Republicans win.
I’m supposed to vote blue to avoid fascism as the blue pres sidesteps congress to fund fascism and the blue party tells the primary winner to eat a dick then goes to court to tell their voters to eat a dick.
Doesn’t sound like the antifascist freedom bastion for voters to me 🤷
Preach! Biden also nullified the collective action of the union with the most sway in the flow of goods in the United States and forced a contract upon them. He never closed down those immigrant detention centers that were headline news for years under Trump. The two main parties work together, two hands, one with a velvet glove.
That railroad union thing he followed through on and got them what they wanted.
I hadn’t heard about that either, and it was on my list of reasons why I fucking hate him, but that one thing he actually took care of in the aftermath.
Still bypassing Congress to send even more weapons to the Israelis though, so…
Edit: here is what you are talking about, glad the democratic process of the union on voted on this. https://www.railwayage.com/news/amtrak-ns-ratify-agreements-with-unions/
It doesn’t negate the fact that Biden took away their most effective collective bargaining tool, a strike. It makes their ability to go to the bargaining table for what they want a lot harder. There is still a lot they did not get in this contract.

This is stupid.
American politics are stupid.
I don’t follow.
Do want the guy using our taxes to bomb Muslims back to the stone age or the guy who will use our taxes to bomb Muslims back to the stone age and dismantle the government.
Make your choice, kids!
Scolding Democrats and those left of center for being incredibly unhappy with Biden’s record is not my idea of democracy. Holding to the notion that Biden is less bad than Trump is not an ethical or constructive stance. It might be true in contexts, but it invalidates materialist concerns, chills functional platform changes, negates potential new candidate selections, and stunts policy shifts to the left. This is this year’s “electability” nonsense all over again. We move right through this type of political posturing.
The game is rigged. First past the post forces this kind of devil’s bargain, and if we ran an America simulation a thousand times you’d get bored of seeing it. Additionally, neither party’s leaders will ever have any motive to accept an alternative voting system at the national level. Unless you’re advocating accelerationism (itself a deeply unethical route), it makes sense to keep playing the rigged game for now while we build a dialogue about radical reforms.
Is accelerationism the belief that ‘it has to get a lot worse first in order for it to get better’?
We move right through this type of political posturing.
No. We move right by continuing to participate in the charade. Which is a feature, not a bug.

Are you talking to me? This is an anti-Biden and anti-Trump meme. Fuckem both.
But I hate that I feel like I have no alternative to voting for Biden.
