I’m happy for you, but I don’t share that optimism. Biden is a self-proclaimed capitalist, he’s let ICE and the IDF keep doing their horrible crimes, certainly doesn’t give a fuck about COVID, and time has practically ran out in regards to the climate situation…
While I agree, I do think there’s a major difference between Biden and Trump and between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party when it comes to all those things.
Yes, Biden and the Democratic Party could do better. Sure. But it’s still a thousand times better than anything Trump and the Republican Party want for this world. That’s how I see it anyway.
Sure, but I’m going to support the party that wants to do the most. Voting Republican or not voting will just go the opposite direction. That doesn’t help anyone except those who want to take up back to the 1950s.
Well personally I’m voting third party on principle, not sure who yet but I’m real real tired of people caping for Biden when if he really cared enough to do anything I wouldn’t be terrified of another trump presidency. Ridiculous that that’s still a possibility, but inevitable when our alternative is another less overtly racist capitalist who’s arguably a lot more entrenched on the side of the establishment, undeniably senile and imo, far right for a democrat.
I don’t really care much for Biden as a person or as the President. But I do care about the political platform of the Democratic Party. And voting third party or not voting will just help the Republicans and Trump and their weird religious platform. Yeah, I’m going to vote for Biden if he’s the Democratic candidate.
You have fun with that. I don’t believe it’s that simple and I have no hope in them or politicians in general honestly… I just believe it’s important to stop the consolidation of power, and right now both Democrats and republicans work together to keep theirs from the people. You can see it with how the democratic platform hasn’t changed. They refuse to truly embrace antifascism for example, even in the face of the increasingly fascist rhetoric and propaganda on the right. But gun control is still on the table, and abortion/bodily autonomy is still a game of tug-of-war?
If you want to learn about the world you’ll live in if the Republican Party gets it’s way, I suggest the Handmaid’s Tale. Great entertainment until it’s actually true. Third party voters help make that a reality.
Lol the handmaiden’s tale, I’ve stared nazis in the face counterprotesting- It’s felt like reality for me as a trans person in America since 2016. I wish biden made me feel safer, but I’m only increasingly terrified about the future tbqh.

“Could do better” is useless when we need “exceptional” more than ever, IMHO. The goalposts have shifted so far right since 2016…
