    The bickering in this thread is just the latest example of how broken American politics is. There are no good candidates, only least bad ones, and we are forced into these shitty choices every single time because the people in power value profits over human rights and dignity.

    I’m voting Biden, but I’m not happy about it.

      Wringing your hands won’t change the fact you’re supporting a genocidal ghoul.

      If Democrats get your support unconditionally, then that encourages them to completely ignore what you have to say because they already got your vote and that’s all you’re good for to them.

      I find it fascinating how liberals here cannot conceive that Biden and Trump might as well be the same person. Their policies are identical because it doesn’t matter anymore. America is on rails. This is a country run by a profit algorithm.

      The only distinction between Biden and Trump to me is Trump is funnier.

          I get where they’re coming from, the problem is there’s no exit strategy. By voting for the lesser evil election after election you still get to the worst shit imaginable, it just takes a while.
