    Dude, fuck off. Your opinion doesn’t matter, and if it’s just that doing the best thing possible also sucks then it’s not useful. Yeah, the system needs to change eventually, but I’m happy to vote for the person who is doing more good than most US presidents in my memory. Biden isn’t who I’d choose, but he’s much better than just a supporter of genocide or whatever. Under his administration the other day the FTC just banned non-compete clauses for example. It’s all very quite, but the Biden administration has done much better than most US president.

      Guy reiterated what any reasonably knowledgeable American voter already knows and almost equivocated over our choice like we actually have a choice. Well, we do… throw away votes by not voting or voting third party, voting for the trump disaster, or what constitutes our liberal party with Biden.

      Unless you’re into fascism and a likely dictatorship, there’s really only one choice. The only people screaming about genocide and laying it at Biden’s feet are the same ones worshipping the military industrial complex.

        Regardless, I feel like it would be hard for anyone that even slightly cares about the future to vote for either of these two earnestly…

        Actually, I don’t envy the American voter. And I certainly wouldn’t want to vote in this election.

        Yeah, this comment is a little more than just saying it sucks that we only have two choices. It’s pretty much saying voting won’t change anything, and they wouldn’t feel compelled to vote. I’m about as left as they come, but Biden has been fairly good as far as US presidents go (which isn’t very far in the past century or so). It’s a really easy choice to advocate for, especially when the other party says and does what they do.

          There’s a lot of those. I’ve mentioned it before on this site, but there are a lot of posts intimating the futility of voting, how shitty the candidates are, blaming anyone who votes for Biden as a supporter of Israel, and often just straight-up blaming Biden for Israel’s actions. They really ramped up maybe two to three months ago.
