The problem with your pedophile vs murderer analogy is that Biden and Trump are not equally bad. Trump is a drastically worse choice than Biden. It's not even remotely close.

You can choose not to vote and try to wash your hands of the whole situation, but they will never be clean. If you don't vote and Trump wins, that's on your hands too.

Biden has pushed plenty of problematic legislation to further dismantle and demonize anybody further left than mid right establishment democrats and third parties in general - plus continuing to not actually DO ANYTHING to stop the ones they claim to he the "last line of defense" from or to codify the issues they claim to protect - but y'all don't mind fascism that doesn't affect your personal status quo.

I never said Biden is great. I said Trump is unquestionably worse and that is still true. You can be mad about it. Be furious. But don't let your righteous indignation be the reason we get four more years of trump.

4 more years of Biden just means Trump or the next worse guy next time with 4 more years of prep work dems won't do a damn thing about because they don't have a platform if they actually do anything about it.

I'm over voting for 3 steps right or 5 steps right. We still move right either way and y'all are complicit.

[–] pastabatman 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Fine. Your choice is three steps right (Biden) or five steps right (Trump). Not voting is also five steps right, but you get to feel smug about it. Thanks in advance for your help, I know you'll make the right decision.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Voting Biden means working tirelessly to spread disinformation about third party voters being non voters who advocate for not voting, like a good little faschie.

Thank you so much for this perfect example where instead of recognizing somebody's grievances you call them a Trump supporting non voter and preemptively blame your loss on them (but not enough to actually adjust policy to win those votes of course, thats not the fascist way!)

Onward Blue MAGA, you have more misinformation to spread!

Two serial murderers, one with a higher body count and is also a pedophile, rapist, con man, national security threat, insurrectionist, and convicted felon.

And at that point, it's not an analogy any more.

@Pastabatman 😅... you read my comment & thought I'd engage in political banter with you😅 don't insult my intelligence😆. Only to reply with political comparisons. Tells me you didn't comprehend. Any retorts rooted in political jargon tells me the message was lost. The analogy isn't exhaustive....nor was it used as direct synonyms for Biden & Trump....

Perhaps this will help bring it home...a quarter...is still a quarter no matter hown you flip it, or what side it lands on..... you still engaged in commerce....

Yall gotta stop reading stuff online and cherry picking whatever triggered your emotion, being willfully obtuse, dismissing everything before during and after lol it's so funny😆

@dodgy_bagel - I just skipped to the latter part of your reply. Nothing happens until, if ever, the masses can have a common understanding that is based on truth. Expecting the very thing that oppresses you to free you is asinine. Expecting a broken system, a broken process to fix itself is less than smart... you've been hoodwinked and bamboozled, the fix was in and has been in for generations. It's nonsense once you unpack it all and once you do you see the world, things, as they are, and not as they should be. All the brilliant minds in the world and THESE two are your options 🤣😂 why are people so content on elderly people, specifically old white males in office. Living on this planet is definitely interesting to observe....I just smh🙄 what good do your words do if they can't understand you...
