    Don’t talk too loudly about Democrats increasing funding for cops, it helps Trump!

    Don’t talk too loudly about Biden bankrolling a genocide, it helps Trump!

    Don’t talk too loudly about the man y’all say will protect us from Trump being too incapacitated to protect us from Trump, it helps Trump!

    It is crazy to try to paint this as drama when you bring up any issues before things get bad, folks will just shout you down anyway. I’ve seen many liberals say they would vote for Biden’s corpse, so what difference does it make if it is someone else with (D) next to their name? You might as well go down swinging than on your knees.

      Biden is just another arrogant, out of touch, privileged elite with no understanding of what the majority of Americans experience day to day.

      His hubris was on full display in Friday’s interview, the stakes are clearly not the same for him. He has enough wealth and power to weather this fascist storm, unfortunately most of us do not.

      That’s because most Americans like both Israel and cops. The ones who don’t lack the numbers to be worth courting.

      And, yes, it does suck to be stuck in a country with people like that, especially when they refuse to listen to reason and hold all the cards.

      Welcome to America.

      Because we’re all relying on historical context. No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

      Democrats funding for cops actually helps democrats reach centrists and independent voters.

      Nobody actually gives a shit about Israel and Palestine. People bringing this up are feigning concern.

      Nobody has ever said Biden will ‘protect us from Trump’. Not voting for Trump is what protects us from Trump. Telling people to stick it to the man and vote for someone else is harmful, because it splits the vote.

        What the fuck are you going on about? Just because you’re a psychopath who doesn’t give a shit about other people doesn’t mean we all are.

          I cannot claim to know OP’s mind, but IMHO, I think those that are performatively wringing their hands and clutching their pearls over the situation in Israel right now are either a bit deluded or just out to delude others, IF they are acting like having donnie instead of Biden would make that situation in any way better. And if they are telling people to vote third party or stay home to lodge a stupid protest against The Man, they are only helping donnie. Which again, will result in things going from very, very bad to far far worse.

        Historical context really doesn’t mean anything here. Trump isn’t the average republican guy. He has taken over the whole party with his ideology alone. Tons of people care about genocide. Not to mention people directly affected by it. Biden’s whole pitch was he can get stuff done and be a one-term President. None of that has happened. This moment requires boldness and conviction. Biden is not the man for that at all.

        Betting all your chips on a man who is hanging by a thread is a risky gamble to protect whatever is left of this country.

        . No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

        Biden’s current approval rating is 34%…

        What’s the last president with numbers that low he got a second term?

        Like, I don’t think people understand how historically unpopular Biden is. 34% is fucking insane for being the president that followed trump, you can’t get a better set up than being compared to that shitheel.
