The only thing I have to add to this perfection is that I would, in fact, prefer Grandpa Joe’s Feckless Possum Party as opposed to the end of the world and everything we love
Holding perfectly still and faking death isn't actually stopping the other party from achieving any of their aims.
This isn't entirely accurate, because Biden put a lot of effort into arresting more immigrants than Trump, allocating covid funds to police, helping Israel carry out a genocide, etc. It's more like a "we must detonate the sun to bring forth eternal night cuz CRT"-party and a "we must detonate the sun to bring forth eternal night cuz uhhh moderate republicans will vote for us or something"-party
What a load of crap.
One party admits global warming exists and is attempting to deal with it, highly ineffectually. The other advocates for accelerating our extinction.
One party advocates for personal freedoms, ineffectually. The other thinks The Handmaid's Tail is a good idea
One party is trying to help elevate the pain of student loan debt. The other likes having a middle class in chains.
You are cherry picking your pet issues as if it's a holistic view and it's horse shit.
One party, as ineffective as they are, is hands down better then the other.
Everything you complained about Biden doing will be massively accelerated by Trump.
Are you aware that Biden co-authored the bankruptcy bill that caused the entire student loan catastrophe?
And you're telling me that both sides actually do the same thing for the climate (that is nothing), just one side has a better PR?
We don't have time for the childish games of the oligarchs. Unless you realize that they all are your enemies and unless you organize in a unified front of the working class, it will all end in a catastrophe that will make WW II seem like a pleasant afternoon.
If this is gonna be the move and attitude. We need to tear down Citizens United. We ourselves, need to drag them to the streets. Because, you're right, both parties like getting PAC money.
