Dude, I’m leftist as fuck. Hardcore. Biden is a disgrace and needs to be out. A broken clock is right twice a day, so even if home slice is GOP, he’s not wrong.
Impeachment does not require removing a president from office, that’s just the maximum penalty. An impeachment is also not necessarily a breach of the law. I hate Trump as much as the next guy and his impeachments were absolutely deserved, but it wasn’t like he somehow managed to stay in power after being impeached or anything. Even Nixon actually stepped down after his impeachment rather than being removed from office outright.
Again, just another iteration in the “blue no matter who” loop. Again, it’s sad people allowed themselves to fall for the brainwashing/battered voter syndrome.
it’s sad that people allow themselves to fall for the disenfranchised voter syndrome
it’s reality mate… you get democrat or you get republican. with how first past the post mathematically works, that’s what you’re stuck with. deal with reality and vote the system or scream at the wall
i don’t live in the US. i live in australia, so have very little ability to solve your countries problems. our system is preferential voting so voting 3rd party is what i do: in fact, our ballot papers have ~60 different parties on them!
there’s a bunch about how americans react to things that i just do not understand, so im a poor choice to even spitball solutions - but maths is maths and closing your eyes and denying the reality of the problem doesn’t help solve it. it just ensures you get the worst outcome!
and yes, i do care even though i don’t live there, and yknow what, yes it does effect me and most people because, as the adage goes: when the US sneezes the rest of the world gets a cold
sure! totally agree… so the best vote is for not overtly fascist… you don’t solve this particular problem at the polls: you have to solve it some other way
and no, i don’t know how that is done but that’s just the reality… FPTP voting system leaves you no good options. you must either change the way the system works, or work outside the system
not voting of the lesser of the 2 options, right now, in this reality, gets you the worst outcome… and even worse, shifts BOTH options significantly worse for next time
I’m not disagreeing with the reality of FPTP, but I still have the first-amendment right to be angry at Biden. But with the way political discourse is going in this country, I can’t criticize him without being written off as a Trump bootlicker. Fixing that is the first thing we need to do as a country.
You are being written off as a Trump bootlicker because you parrot Trump propaganda. Perhaps fixing your need to regurgitate Trump propaganda should be the first thing that needs fixing?
For real. My biggest issue with Biden and his supporters is that they pretend to be outraged at the stuff the Republicans do, while doing the same shit. Like bailing out the billionaires, overspending on military, and enabling the predatory healthcare system to continue to exist.

We all can do better than this.
That’s great. He still doesn’t have dementia.
I’m leftist as fuck and I’ll still vote for him because any other choice would be worse.
So will I. Doesn’t mean we can’t do better.
Trump proved that even crimes at the level of impeachment won’t result in a successful removal.
2/3 of the senate is a pretty high bar to clear.

Nixon was never impeached.
I stand corrected, looks like he stepped down just before being impeached, then

The reality is you get overly or covertly fascist. Ftfy.

Ah, any criticism of Biden is “Trump propaganda.” Gotta dismiss it with a bullshit term so you can feel like you won, huh?
Kinda like how Trump and his cult refer to any criticism of Trump as “fake news.”
Funny how both Team Blue and Team Red do a lot of the same things and don’t want to admit it.
Is it funny though?
🤦🏽♀️
solid point

They have the same bosses, and it’s not us. Bandwagon fallacy or something.
Absolutely. And people here wonder why I think both sides are full of shit. George Carlin was right.
OK, who are you voting for, then?
I don’t know yet.
