    Now to hold up their end of the bargain, all of the borrowers must vote for him.

      Yes, continuing the tradition of Citizens United, and making a vote a raw monetary transaction.

      Forget the union busting and the genocide everyone! This one certainly isn’t going to be struck down by the Supreme Court too!

          Ya, repeal Citizens United and get the government representing the people, not the dollars.

              I mean, Jill Stein is running again. There’s also the dude from Minnesota trying to primary biden.

              It’s still a Trump vs Biden election but remember how many people voted for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein in 2016 and how much the establishment hated that? Let’s do that again!

              I used to wonder where the 2016 Clinton supporters went to…

              But rubbing people’s noses in the fact that we dont have a good option for president like your happy about it. It’s like a passenger on the Titanic laughing because the guy next to him were going to get wet.

              Y’all stand out.

                2016 Clinton supporters

                Those would be Biden supporters.

                But rubbing people’s noses in the fact that you must pick from only 2 shitty candidates and like it.

                It’s like being in the mob actively punching holes in the hull of the Titanic or the mob actively setting fires on the Titanic and laughing at the people who are trying to bail the water and throw it on the flames.

                “Doc, I’m feeling really depressed. Nothing is making me happy.”

                “Have you tried just, being happy and joyful?”

                “But I don’t know how to do that. How do I get there?”

                “Oh, so now you’re just rubbing it in that I’m an awful doctor?!”

                It’s a totally valid question to say “okay that sounds great, but how do we get there?”.

                  If anyone is actually asking that:

                  Elect better dem candidates in the primary while we still have primaries. Then they pass laws to get money out of politics.

                  Shit ain’t complicated, so it’s hard to take anyone serious who has to ask.

                    Well yeah, but that isn’t something that happens overnight. We’re not going to succeed in every primary in every year. It’s going to take like a decade. The point is, we need to still do something in the interim while we get there. We can’t just consider it hopeless and allow the worst to happen when we have the ability to make it less worse.

              Bernie, AOC, Katie Porter, Ro Khanna, Rashida Tlaib.

              After they have recused themselves from the Democrat party and have declared themselves Independent.

              Those would be my choices.

                Which one if those is running for POTUS, wants the position, and can realistically win? If they can’t win, which they can’t at least this election cycle, then it is a waste and detrimental to the future of the US to vote for any of them. You don’t have to like it, but as it stands, Biden is the only option that isn’t pushing a fascist agenda.

                  … the union buster architect of the genocide of the Palestinian people whose running platforms are currently “I’m not Trump” and “I take really great super-villain pictures” isn’t pushing a pure fascist agenda?

                  God, those blinders must be nice to have.

                    Because Trump would be better for the Palestinian people? Don’t get me wrong, you’re not off the mark on biden in the least, but until the Republicans can put up something other than buffoonery, make your choice in the primary then hold your nose in the general for the lesser of two evils.

                Half century of strategic plotting by the evilest minds on earth. Encourage people to vote for Biden so we have more than 10 months of democracy left, you contrarian dipshit.

        Written like only a fool would. Sheesh, your other option sure is much better on breaks for the little guy and that whole Arab/ME file. FFS Americans are brain dead.
