    I’m glad Hillary lost. I’m sick and tired of neoliberals implementing the same policies again and again that have been proven not to work.

      You’re glad we had Trump as president? So I assume you’re voting for him again this time, right? Biden is a neoliberal after all.

        By the time the Roman Empire fell, the citizens welcomed the barbarians into Rome , plagued by corruption.

        I am not voting for Biden. I don’t vote for neoliberals.

              Not wanting an out-and-out fascist supporting Project 2025 into the White House is not ‘sucking Biden’s dick,’ it’s desperately trying to stop this country from turning into Nazi Germany. Biden is awful. He’s still not going to put people in concentration camps. Trump has promised to do exactly that.

                Theyre literally all fascists. One is just more reactionary and mask off than the other.

                  I like how I told you more than once that I don’t like Biden and you’re still going down this route.

                  But I think it’s clear why now. You support the goals of Project 2025.

          Who would you vote for instead? And if they told you to vote Joe Biden, would you?

            At this point I am leaning towards voting for some odd third party candidate but not sure yet. I will most likely leave the President option blank and just move on to the rest of my ballot.

      “I don’t like raisins, that’s why I’d rather eat dog poop if given the choice.”

        More like I don’t like dog poop, no matter how many fresh raisins it has in it.
