    I’m pretty sure everyone in my circles blamed the rampant obvious disinformation campaign that the public was ill educated to parse and see through.

    He’s only terrible because he has to contend with a Congress that does not allow him to act which is why you need to appeal to Congress.

    What you are choosing will kill everyone.

      Lol, he used to be a member of that Congress for decades and was just as bad as the rest of them. I’ve always found it hilarious the way everyone just decided to pretend that he did a 180 on all the awful stuff he’d caused the moment he was nominated.

      If Congress is capable of constraining the president to the point where he can’t do anything, then I don’t see why Trump would be such an existential threat. You can’t have it both ways of pretending that the most powerful man is actually powerless to do anything while also saying that someone else getting the exact same position would be the end of the world.

      There’s all sorts of things Biden could do if he wanted. He just doesn’t want to. And the fact that he never wanted to was always very obvious from his record. He has always been terrible, people just pretended he wasn’t to ease their cognitive dissonance with voting for him.

      Will my refusal to vote for Biden end all of humanity? You know what, maybe it will, who knows. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter, because I am just a machine that doesn’t vote for people who do genocide. No amount of rhetoric or fear-mongering will change that, any more than you can persuade a vending machine to give you an item with words. The only thing that I will accept is actual policy concessions.
