      sure! totally agree… so the best vote is for not overtly fascist… you don’t solve this particular problem at the polls: you have to solve it some other way

      and no, i don’t know how that is done but that’s just the reality… FPTP voting system leaves you no good options. you must either change the way the system works, or work outside the system

      not voting of the lesser of the 2 options, right now, in this reality, gets you the worst outcome… and even worse, shifts BOTH options significantly worse for next time

        I’m not disagreeing with the reality of FPTP, but I still have the first-amendment right to be angry at Biden. But with the way political discourse is going in this country, I can’t criticize him without being written off as a Trump bootlicker. Fixing that is the first thing we need to do as a country.

          You are being written off as a Trump bootlicker because you parrot Trump propaganda. Perhaps fixing your need to regurgitate Trump propaganda should be the first thing that needs fixing?

            Ah, any criticism of Biden is “Trump propaganda.” Gotta dismiss it with a bullshit term so you can feel like you won, huh?

            Kinda like how Trump and his cult refer to any criticism of Trump as “fake news.”

            Funny how both Team Blue and Team Red do a lot of the same things and don’t want to admit it.

      For real. My biggest issue with Biden and his supporters is that they pretend to be outraged at the stuff the Republicans do, while doing the same shit. Like bailing out the billionaires, overspending on military, and enabling the predatory healthcare system to continue to exist.

        They have the same bosses, and it’s not us. Bandwagon fallacy or something.

          Absolutely. And people here wonder why I think both sides are full of shit. George Carlin was right.
