    That’s his schtick. He shows up in threads wanting politics to “be better”… By shitting on the only viable alternative to the fascism Republicans have to offer.

    When Republicans are outright saying they want Trump to be above the law, there’s no reason to shit talk Biden on anything unless GOP fascism is your end goal. All such action does is create division and apathy.

      I think there are definitely good reasons to criticize Biden. I also think when it’s all you do, it starts to look very sus. We need nuance in our criticism, realism in our strategies. And you’re right in that I think during an election season, I would be thinking about where my priorities are with airing my criticism in public places, if you are actually laying out the odds for harm reduction.

      Not everyone subscribes to harm reduction though, which I disagree with, but hey you can’t win them all.

      Edit: Also, sorry for double responding. Just two separate topics in there.

      I should block them, but it’s really frustrating see them post nothing in the way of facts or sources. It’s always just a generic, leftist-flavored response to the most uncharitable reading of every comment. They will flat out just ignore the parts they don’t want to respond to. It’s just like arguing with the maga people, but with less discrimination. I’ll give them that, I guess.

      Trump could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, Biden could do a genocide on your Instagram feed.

      You know, I didn’t support Democrats because I like the color blue. I used to think there was a difference.

        “Both sides!”

        Any opinion that equates Democrats and Republicans can safely be discarded.
