    Biden may not make you feel safer, but the threat of another Trump presidency and the current Speaker continuing should make you do everything in your power to keep them out of power. Just my two cents.

      Good point. I’m praying everyday for the gods to deliver righteous judgement on both. But also for “leftism”, anarchism, mutualism, ecological socialism, communalism or literally almost anything else to have it’s day in a country that claims to value freedom and equality and to love it’s land. Pretty sensible ask imho since we have undue global influence due to sheer military force and installations, colonies, bases all over the world ntm we don’t tax the ultra rich for shit.

        I hear you. I’m voting for Democrats up and down the ballot simply because they are the closest to any of that and there are people in the party who are pulling that direction. I’d love to have other parties to vote for, but in a two-party, winner-take-all system, voting third party is just not an option.

          Well, again I don’t believe it’s that simple. Other parties can qualify for federal funding if they get a certain percentage of the vote and no matter what, mine is one for discontent. I just can’t in good conscience defend Biden - in fact, I think he’s quite possibly the biggest mistake the democratic party ever made. Still find his presidency hard to believe, he was falling asleep during the debates and pitching nothing groundbreaking- the DNC straight up chose him because he’s boring and easy to puppet if you ask me. Ntm because sander’s campaign and a actual leftist movement was growing exponentially…

            Would have loved Sanders. But Biden was what was possible, and I’ll take him any day of the week over any Republican.

            I hope you find your way.

              Both were possible. One was just friendlier towards the ruling class, and all I’m asking is that people don’t forget that.
