As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn’t designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they’re pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I’m legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden’s doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people’s existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn’t complete dogshit

    This is a real comment:

    Shouldn’t these numbers be seen as a major victory, especially with Biden being blamed by pro-Russian and Chinese bots on social media and by billionaire-owned news agencies for things outside of his control? - As for Palestine, he’s been pushing for a ceasefire for a long time now, he’s been admonishing Israel, and he’s been dropping aid to Gaza. The countries that have stonewalled the ceasefire are the same ones that have smeared him on social media - Russia and China. - In terms of his successes/effectiveness, what are your thoughts on… his masterful handling of the Ukraine war

    I feel like I’m losing my mind. I can’t do this any more. These people live in a fucking fantasy world.

      Bidens “ceasefire” was literally telling Palestinians to stop fighting so that Israel can come in and Massacare them. Props to Russia and China for vetoing this shit.

        They talk about Biden “admonishing” Netanyahu, but it was always just Biden getting sassy with Netanyahu on the phone, and then immediately sending him billions of dollars worth of weapons after they hang up. Like Biden hasn’t been instrumental in manufacturing Western consent and support for the genocide of Palestinians for the last 6 months peppino-angry

      This person lives in a mind palace of their own design, but instead of imagining something cool they just imagine that Joe Biden is doing ineffectual posturing.

      Worse

      They live in a fantasy world and accuse everyone who dares question even the slightest part of the fantasy of being some sort of evil foreign actor, or else the ones truly in a fantasy world

      It’s disgusting and insidious

      Lying by omission by saying he admonished Israel and dropped aid to Gaza. He didn’t admonish Israel, he vocally expressed displeasure with Netanyahu while shipping infinite aid to him. He literally dropped a pittance of aid on Gaza and killed people with it.

        Just so we’re clear here: Zionist astroturfing is a real, actual thing on Reddit.

        I’ve posted things mildly critical of Israel on an unrelated, non-political, extremely niche and tiny subreddit. Then I wake up the next morning to a tidal wave of ACTUALLY ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF YOU ANTISEMITE replies, that outnumber the tiny community’s actual subscriber count.
