One day the USA will get a president that has more to offer than not being his opponent.

No they won’t, their lesser evil bullshit will keep creating a progressively larger evil. So there will always be a boogeyman to sell.

Not me. I’m motivated on making sure myself and all my loved ones get to continue to vote. Stopping Trump and voting for Biden just so happen to line up for that.

Exactly. “Voting for Biden just to stop trump” is a pretty meaningless statement.

I generally like Biden and I’m still more motivated by voting against trump. I’m amazed on a daily basis how many ignorant school shooter wannabes roam around here chanting fantasies without any basis in reality convincing themselves that they aren’t culpable if they don’t accept reality.

It’s really not, because a lot of left of center voters just won’t bother to vote for someone they don’t like.

Then frankly, they are idiots. Any foolish “protest vote” come November is just helping Trump.

Biden

a Catholic president with a prosecutor for a vice president

the last four years have consisted of abortion rights being stripped, Cop City built to train police to subjugate citizens by razing a national forest, workers protested and were told to stop on threat of their livelihood with no change in worker’s rights or higher wages, immigration policies have deteriorated, food cost are astronomical and inflation is rising on everything without stopping, journalism is dying due to corporate buyout with journalist being silenced

but Biden who is a career politician going on almost half a century now who is running against a career donor is progressive

when was he ever progressive? what about Harris? have either of these two been progressive at any point in their careers?

Biden worked on laws and policies that would put people in jail and Harris worked her career enforcing such laws

If a Catholic and a Prosecutor with a resume of putting the citizens in their proper places is progressive then yes we are truly fisted in the ass and gaped with no chance in hell

Cop city? How the hell are you managing to make your mental stretch that wide that you include local Atlanta issues to criticize president biden?

Atlanta is 1 of nearly 100 cop cities being built. All of which will be trained by the IDF

Biden during the last election said he would try to get the police under control and he ran on a green platform

cops getting a whole city built for them so they can train to keep citizens subjugated while razing a national forest to do so with Biden not saying or even trying to do anything not even making it a talking point during speeches this current election

not to mention this current policing and the current environmental issues that need attention in this country are in part due to bills he had a hand in such as the crime bill

so yes him as president and before that as a career politician do criticize Biden
