      My God you guys have either the worst comprehension possible or you’re just being disingenuously annoying.

      Criticizing Democrats for doing undemocratic things is not the same as saying Republicans are better, and it’s not the same as supporting trump.

      Both parties are fully bought and paid for by corporate interests and massive lobbies, especially one specific lobby from another country that is carrying out a genocide right now.

      Pointing this out does not mean that you think trump is great. It means you can read the writing on the wall and that things need to change in a big way.

        It’s disingenuous to act like Biden stopping the rail union from hitting the economy during a recovery is the same as Trump or DeSantis or anyone else completely removing the ability from everyone to collectively organize.

        I’m sorry you don’t like Biden but, we’ve always had to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s that way EVERY election. If you want to change that, we need ranked choice voting and proportional representation, not staying home on election day.

          During the same recovery we were handing out millions like candy to the richest amongst us?

          Why bail out airlines and giant conglomerates instead of the American people?

          I agree we need ranked choice voting and better candidates. I didn’t say people should not vote either. If that’s your argument against me, point out where I said people shouldn’t vote.

          You don’t get change unless you call out the issues. If every time someone says “hey this guy isn’t the best guy we could have,” or “hey, this isn’t the best system we could have,” the response of “well it’s always been this way” does nothing but keep excusing the massive disparities and injustices that are continuing to grow at this point.

          I’m sorry you guys can’t imagine a better world where people have better choices for candidates at the very least, and at the most a world where the system we generally live by is structurally changed.

          The bar gets lower every election cycle. If the best we can keep doing is “hey I’m not that guy”, then everything is going to just get shittier because that’s a pretty low bar to scale.

      Didn’t Biden stop railroad workers from unionizing and then two weeks later we had like 3 derailments one of which spread toxic chemicals across 16 states?

      Seems super pro union
