    So we live in a system that bolsters genocide, and our only choice is the fascist with less fascism than the fascist fascist?

    Literally no better choice? Genocidal policy is just baked in? Wow. What an absolute dogshit system. Sounds like election isn’t going to fix this, huh?

      Unless I run for office, I’ll never see a politician who agrees with me 100% of the time.

      This isn’t something you can fix with a different system.

      Dude, please stop passive aggressively posing these disingenuous questions and just state your criticisms and points plainly. You look like you’re here for (trolly) performance art, not discussion.

        no one needs to conform to your standards for discussion, and if they don’t you don’t need to discuss with them.

        Biden has:

        • Continued the mass surveillance of US citizens

        • Failed to support universal healthcare or offer any plan whereby the most marginalized groups may gain access

        • Signed off on the continued funding of ICE and the construction of more concentration camps than we had before, even under Trump

        • Supported the genocidal state of Israel

        • Failed to address Guantanamo Bay, with its history of human rights abuses, which continue to this day

        • Sent his VP on a gaslighting mission to Latin America, blaming them for the instability which we historically caused

        • Detained and deported undocumented immigrants and refugees

        • Continued to fuel the racist sentiment that we need to “protect our borders”

        If you want to argue that for now he is the lesser of two evils, then fair. If you actually defend the man and perceive him as doing some good, you’re going to push voters away, because we’re not that stupid, and it’s an insult to our intelligence to think we are.

        For the record, I voted for the fucking horror, but I never anticipated the number of people who would actually defend his bad actions in a creepy and cultlike fashion, all for the sake of a campaign.

        You look like you’re here for performance art, not discussion.

        So, similar to Biden and his presidency? Let’s paint Pride flags on all the concentration camps and call it good, huh?

        Edit: You changed your comment to add “trolly.” What part of what I’m saying seems like a troll to you? Which statement I’ve made is so unhinged that you think I’m a troll?

        troll: n., A person who cites facts I want to deny

            Alright buddy where the dude thats gonna stop all that?

            You tell me. I don’t see one, do you?

            You know damn well this isnt how things work

            Right, because it’s how things work that’s the problem. It’s a rotten system. Tear it down and try something better, because this clearly doesn’t work. You’re preaching to the choir!

          Oh you were so close. I’m sure someone else will still be willing to talk to you though.

            Wow, I did what you asked for, and you still have no real response. I don’t blame you though for not wanting to engage. In fact, I respect you more than someone who thinks they have any form of defense for Biden’s indefensible words and actions.
