    This argument is nonsense. It works for them and not for us because they are FASCISTS. This relationship with the truth and cult of personality are essential tenants of fascism. No amount of whataboutism will solve the Biden’s electoral issues.

      I’m not trying to whataboutism this. I, straight up, as a voting member of the public, don’t have any valid, electable, choices in the upcoming election that don’t require holding my nose. I’m sick of voting for the lesser evil and hoping they don’t screw things up too badly.

        Getting involved locally is the only way to create real positive change. Focus on your community and needs; Local government has more impact on your daily life

        That’s nothing new. It’s always a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, and has been for a long time

          No…this is recent (in US history). I was excited to vote for Obama. Clinton (Bill) was a good candidate. Bush Sr…even though he was a douche, was still moderately presidential. Kerry would have been OK.

          The giant shit show you’re seeing today really just started in the past decade.

            It started with Nixon. That was the prototype for modern American political theater. Then Reagan legitimized having a celebrity, glad hander, and straight up fucking traitor in the White House. After that it has been a slow regression from performative politics into reality television.
