    I’ve been round and round with the same folks who your post is directed at, and the conclusion I’ve drawn is “our government sucks, this is the best we can do, get used to it.”

    American history is littered with horrible actions. It’s not unreasonable to expect us to keep doing it. Our government was written to be undemocratic at the request of slaveholders. Even if we had a card-carrying capital-C Communist™ as president, there are massive mechanisms that would prevent them from achieving fundamental change.

    Joe Biden is literally the best we can do. This craphole of a country that shoots children protesting the killing of other children is literally the best we can do.

    It’s a lot less stressful to just accept this.

      I wonder if that’s why suicide rates are at all time highs.

      yeah I dunno if I can though. I think probably if this is the best we can do then we’re headed down both a full-throated fascist reality of constant genocide, poverty, oppression, not only here but globally as america serves those ends globally, and basically a dystopian climate apocalypse on top of that.

      If I accept that, then I become a little bit suicidal, which is not allowed.

      How many times do you say that in the mirror before you start your day?

        Not in the mirror, just every time I’m reminded that I have to vote for him.
