    I’ve got family and loved ones in detention camps and/or being deported under Biden. How can I vote for him again?

    I was told he would be much better than Trump. He just hasn’t been. He’s even continued building Trump’s wall.

    I feel like I got duped into voting for Biden last election. My expectations of him were abysmally low, but he has still managed to deeply disappoint.

    The lesser of two fascisms?

      To say he hasn’t been better than trump is naive. Everything Biden has done that you hate will be done to a greater extent under trump. Remember this is the guy that moved the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

      Just look at project 2025 to see the truly fascist intentions of trump and republicans at large. Neither are good but they aren’t close to being equally bad.

        They’re still both extremely bad, though. Unacceptably so. Telling me my best option is to vote for the less bad genocidal maniac is not a good look.

      So you already found out the two parties are literally the same? They just gather different voting bases, but the policies don’t change

        Uh, Abolishment of Roe v. Wade?! This happened as a result of Trump and the Republicans! The two parties both worship Mamon, that much is true, but there are important differences that should not be glossed over that will have an impact on the lives of everyday American citizens and all the people around the globe that are impacted by our politics which is a huge number of people. You’re painting with too broad a brush and I respectfully ask that you take a deep breath to clear some emotion and think about what I’m saying.

        I wouldn’t say they’re both the same, because Republicans are clearly worse, but it’s like comparing Jeffrey Dahmer to Ted Bundy
