    I feel like this argument would have worked a lot better before Trump.

    Do you want slow incremental positive steps forward, or massive bat-shit crazy, weaving-all-over-the-road while toying with destroying democracy, self-serving, ultra-rich benefiting and fuck-the-little-guy theocratic “reform”? Hm… that’s a tough one.

      Those aren’t the choices. The 2 choices are slow stagnation as Capitalism crumbles and Workers ever-more exploited, or massive bat-shit crazy reactionary fascism.

      Trump is worse, yes, but Biden continues America’s march rightward into its doom. I’ll be voting for Biden, but at the same time trying to actually contribute to society via donating to strike funds and trying to get others to read Leftist theory, as well as trying to slowly unionize and increase pro-union sentiment.

      Biden doing small positive changes as America lurches towards its own destructuon and Biden fuels a genocide does not make him slow, incremental positive steps forward. America is a sinking ship and rather than fixing it, he’s handing out free massages and toys.

        I mostly agree with you, but IMHO Biden has been better than any other president in my lifetime… and I’m 50 years old. His position on Israel is awful. I would 100% go nuclear (pun intended) on solving global warming. But beyond that, I think he’s done a pretty good job with the hand he’s been dealt. The presidency is not a monarchy. No matter who is elected it’ll be a long term battle to right this ship.

          I don’t disagree with the statement that he is the least bad, I can’t say any President I have been alive for represents my views. He’s the least bad, but is still bad, IMO, so continuing to criticize him is important to me.

          And yes, his position on Israel and the genocide of Gaza is abhorant.
