    Moving the baseline to “nukes” doesn’t invalidate legitimate concerns around Biden’s handling of events.

        I agree.

        So anything done that is better than the worst President in victory should go unchallenged?

        We are Lemmings, aren’t we (in the debunked mythological running of a cliff sense)?

        There was a ceasefire, that was good. After instructing people not to call for one, it was helpful to see that.

        Biden would get my vote in a general. But we have to stop making the worst decision maker the baseline.

          That is unfortunately less of a social phenomenon and more of a logical result of our combination two-party/first past the post system. After years of having to strategically vote against the worst option instead of for the best, we are only left with a “lesser of two evils” decision.

      Of course. The comment was probably directed to the bots telling us we are genocidal if we don’t vote third party (thereby allowing Trump to take over and oh by the way nuke Gaza or whatever)
