      I don’t even know that that’s true. While Biden has made a few small things very marginally better for a small number of Americans, he has also made life miserable for millions of people internationally by instigating a war in Europe with his nemesis, enabling and funding a genocide and regional war in the Middle East, and very nearly instigating yet another war between Taiwan and China. Trump was horrendous for domestic things like transgenderism. He also didn’t start three wars in four years that have so far already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

      For a party that claims to care about Democracy its shitty to not even hold a Primary in most states. In my state the only options I get are Genocide Joe and “No Preference”. So guess who isn’t taking the Democratic ballot?

      I don’t have time to answer all of you but I wondered how you justified handing the election to Trump. It appears that’s not just a side effect but really the goal.

        If the democratic party was at all interested in the opinion of the general public (which includes you and me), they would at least run some primaries and go through the motions of a western liberal democracy. Instead, they’ve decided to rerun 2020 on the hope that the bold message of “He’s not Trump” will work again.

        The election is in eleven months - if Biden loses the fault lands squarely on the democrats for covering their ears and saying “lalalala” any time someone suggests maybe actually doing something resembling democracy. Or hey you can continue to pre-blame the left for an election that hasn’t happened yet and accuse us of actually being conservatives, certainly that will convince us to line up behind Genocide Joe.

        Here I’ll justify it.

        I won’t vote for anybody actively and enthusiastically enabling a genocide.

        If that is too high a bar for dems to clear, that’s dems problem not mine.

        Now let’s flip it.

        I wondered how you justified supporting a genocide. It appears that’s not just a side effect but really the goal.
