I’m still on the fence about whether I can stomach knowing that I voted for the genocidal monster that can barely remember his name because he’s better than the fascist genocidal monster that wants to end whatever semblance of democracy we might have. This country is just the worst.

It could be worse. We could have a dictator that regulates literally everything we do. My porn is anonymous for now.

And yet, it doesn't. It's incredibly easy to not choose either, believe it or not.

It's unfortunately nothing new, but I do think the alternative is a new level of bad.

Literally every single US president since 1948 has assisted Israel in committing genocide against Palestinians. Don't clutch your pearls now.

"That's the way we've always done it" - people who like the way we've always done it.

Genocide must stop.

You’d prefer to have voted for Trump?

These kinds of comments are getting obvious. You’re string here bitching about Biden, when we can all agree the alternative would be worse.

Go peddle your bullshit elsewhere.
