It's funny how you're complaining about all the things "wrong" with this country, and yet you seem to be advocating for the candidate who wants to take away the rights of everyone who isn't white and obnoxiously rich. Yeah Biden is a fairly typical politician, but what has he done wrong other than Israel? What could he have done better that wasn't immediately blocked by the republicans? Or are you just mad that he's trying to move forward instead of sucking the dick of the oil companies?
Seriously, if you think the "left" is the problem here, then you haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in the House and Senate over the last couple decades. Check out ever bill that would have improved your life, and who voted against it. Check out who was creating those bills that would improve your life, and who was creating bills that benefited big corporations at your expense. Which party is constantly being caught suppressing voters and sponsoring bills to take away your rights? Which party is saying they want less government influence while trying to pass bills to dictate what every can and can't do? If you think the Republican party is doing anything at all with your interests in mind then I can only assume you're a boomer who remembers the party from 70 years ago and hasn't looked at anything they've done since then. Yeah politicians in general suck, but there's only one party actively working to make your life even worse.
Thank you for starting off your comment by saying I'm advocating for Trump and letting anybody that isn't blue Maga know you are a deeply unserious person.
I fucking hate Trump, my main critique of the dems is they're incapable or more likely unwilling to meaningfully oppose them.
You are like a small child just lashing out and then retreating to simple absolutes like "if anybody criticizes liberals for any reason you don't have to listen to them because they're just big meany Trump supporters"
I wish that the logical conclusions of your political ideology that discards anybody who isnt immediatly useful would happen to you but since you're a liberal I'm sure you'll just keep smugly telling yourself everything is everybody else's fault while stepping on the neck of the vulnerable you claim to care about.
I don't have words to express my level of disdain for you.
Seriously if it turns out "genocide is bad" is a negotiable value if it's too politically costly why should anybody believe you stand for anything.
You realize you're literally taking political hostages right?
"Endorse my genocide of Palestinians or else the same thing could happen to you, other vulnerable minorities"
Great coalition building strategy you've got there.
I love how you said above that you are giving all these legitimate reasons for hating Biden, and yet the only thing you really said was pro-Israel is bad (no objections there), and somehow pro-renewables are also bad. And yet when I asked what else you think he did wrong or what he could have changed that hadn't been voted against by the conservative congress, you just completely ignored it.
Maybe the problem here isn't people like me trying to vote for the least-damaging leader (because face it, it's either going to be Trump or Biden and nothing you say will change that)... maybe the real problem here is that you're arguing against what you assume are problems that would go away if Biden wasn't in office. Show me a good candidate that could actually win the office and I'll be happy to vote for them. Otherwise the best we can do is voting against the one who is going to hurt the most people.
