    Biden or Democratic party had said or implied that only he could defeat Trump. Something that neither of them have ever said.

    Sorry you’re right, I misspoke, this is what I was thinking of:

    “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said at a fundraising event for his 2024 campaign outside of Boston. “We cannot let him win.”

    Yeah man the lesser of two evils is still extremely evil though and falling over itself to supply a country with weapons to engage in a genocide.

      No, they literally aren’t. Liberal Democrats are intellectually bankrupt. Kept purposely ignorant like all Americans. Cause just about as many problems as they solve. But they can be reasoned with, are generally rational, and mean well despite their repeated mistakes. Calling them evil belittles what actual evil is.

      Modern Democrats gave us marriage equality, the civil rights act of 1964, the ACA for all it’s flaws etc. They’re the modern spiritual continuation of those who fought for women’s suffrage, and against the south in the civil war. (Though don’t get me wrong. I can still offer a ton of criticisms about Lincoln and his Republicans of the time.) Yes they’ve weakened everything they’ve ever touched and caused plenty of damage as well. But they can’t even approach the depths of depravity, inhumanity, and abject malice of conservatives/Republicans and those who fund them.

      Yeah, man… The dudes a shit show. I won’t argue with that. But Trump it will be so, so much worse if Trump gets a second term.

      My plan is to try amd get Biden in soley because were up against a clock, but we need to do some serious soul searching as a country…

      We either fix it, or this fight’s gonna just keep repeating itself until authoritanism goes full mask off.
