    And we’ll happily blame people like you, whose toxic attitude is half the reason we’re choosing not to choose in the first place.

      Cutting of your nose to spite your face doesn’t make you a visionary, it makes you a stupid child that’s never known real suffering.

      You are either the stupid child, or a liar pretending to be one. I have immense sympathy for the child, you will suffer greatly.

      The liar should die.

        This is the future that the GOP is offering Americans.

        Climate Chaos. Huge national debt. Huge income inequality. Nuclear proliferation. Medical industry profiteering. Putin’s Evil Empire. The end of democracy.

          Democrats have failed to offer any viable alternative. Even when golden opportunities present themselves they choose corporations over the people. Every single time.

            This is completely wrong. They way to look at the objectively is to follow the money. The first thing Biden did was raise the minimum taxes on corporations from 0% to 15%. Even if that was the only thing Biden did it would still be more significant than every other thing combined. But he’s done lots of other things corporations don’t like.

        Choosing between genocide or mean tweet orange guy? Yeah totally immature. How dare we dislike genocide.

          Mean tweet orange guy also supports the genocide. With the added caveat that he wpuld like to expedite this genocide because not enough people are dying.

                So I can live with the maturity level of seeing two awful candidates and choosing not to choose either one. I feel like my own point still stands, that the distinction between fascism and genocide shouldn’t be a thing I have to choose to live with.

                I don’t like Trump, and I won’t be voting for him, but I also don’t like the precedents set by Biden in a few areas, and his inability to reign in the escalation in Gaza despite having the levers available to pull to immediately ease immense human suffering.

                If there was a candidate like say, Obama, available to vote for this would be easy and straightforward. A bumbling senile idiot/puppet or a hostile fascist dictator. Don’t lump me in with either of the massive pools of idiots that put us here. I’m proud to be outside of this.

                  What? You went through 8 years of hope and change, got 4 years of Trump - then go right back to thinking hope and change?

                  I’m not gonna use my brain to think about the rest of what you’ve said.

                  The thing is one is still objectively better than the another. If you choose not to support the lesser evil, you are basically supporting the worst case scenario.

                  Edit: You need to accept the fact that consensus is oftentimes not possible and have to deal with a compromise.
