Both Bernie and Biden seem like great people

a 30 second google search and the plentiful articles and videos it’ll show you of biden being racist, homophobic and classicist during his entire career and defending those racist, homophobic and classicist decisions during his campaign in 2020 proves that you’re either patsy or a shill.

and still more progressive than democrats have ever been and will ever be.

I don’t like him but I have to vote for him because the alternative is worse

as you will be doing for the rest of your life; never voting for the candidates you like and you’ll never be given the chance because of democrats. meanwhile your political opposites will perpetually be getting the candidates that they do like and a plethora of choices.

It’s been about a month for me too and I HATE having no content to look at, but my last health checkup at my doctor’s office proves that the lack of doom scrolling REALLY has an impact.

I intentionally locked myself out of reddit to make good on my social media detox and switch to the fediverse fulltime; but I find myself spending more then 5x lurking on reddit as unregistered user then all of the fediverse instances I’m registered to combined everyday.

I wish the fediverse wasn’t so vanilla so that it could have some content.

fighting a war over slavery was so fun for texas; they did it twice and the american civil war was the second one.

and then continued with segregation; you would think they learn their lesson by now. lol

the fediverse definitely is not as addicting as reddit and i stopped doing reddit so now it feels like my mental state is improving because of it.

up until now; i thought plex only did stored media and streaming service with a subscription. are you using streaming aggregators of some type?

number one search on google; i doubt you even tried: https://thecollegeinvestor.com/42272/alternative-paths-to-student-loan-forgiveness/

i could have clicked on “i’m feeling lucky” to get this so i no longer believe that you’re arguing in good faith.

here’s another one that shows that your thought process is heavily flawed: https://thegavoice.com/news/national/sanders-urges-voters-to-look-at-bidens-votes-for-dont-ask-doma/

solid history of changing his mind but only once it becomes politically convenient for him

I love this argument. You mean to tell me he only changed his mind when coincidentally so did a majority of other Americans?!?! What a fucking scandal. Have you gone to the papers?

by that same logic trump is just as good because he too changed his mind when he ran for president.

Biden […] has a solid history of changing his mind but only once it becomes politically convenient for him

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Biden has sat himself in the center of his voterbase his entire career.

I see that as being a good thing for a democratically elected politician.

by that same logic trump is just as good because he too changed his mind when he ran for president.

then we wouldn’t have someone to run against trump.

well besides bernie, but he’ll never get the nomination no matter what.

you’re steering the conversation away from the matter at hand; sodomly laws have little to do w what i said.

New account made 3 hours ago? Check. Comments almost exclusively on political threads? Check. When doing so, almost exclusively makes “both sides are the same” comments? Check.

How’s the trolling going, friend?

i used to believe reddit was the king dumbass echo chambers; now i know that the fediverse makes reddit same sane and reasonable by comparison.

these engagements always go the same way, so here’s a copy/paste from somewhere else:

since you’re clearly digging in your heels; i’m going to try to undercut your next arguments since they are always the same three from the deeply ignorant liberal crowd:

• biden recently defended his decisions on all three [DOMA; don’t ask, don’t tell; undischargable student loan debt] plus multiple more shitty decisions; so it doesn’t matter how long ago he said it or made those laws.
• biden refused to change his mind all the way up until his presidential campaign and has a solid history of changing his mind but only once it becomes politically convenient for him; so he didn’t “evolve” or get better, he just knows that trump is weaker on this topic and uses your ignorance about his past of truly horrific anti-lgbtq/black/poor history to get your vote.

Additionally: no, dunking on gays for easy politically points in the past wasn’t popular, many politicians (eg bernie sanders) never did it.

• his beliefs are the reason why he’s not bothering to improve anything, especially on the student loan debt. also: yes there are many things he can do even though congress is trying to block him; but he won’t do it no matter what. (google these too)

they’ve been ready for him; that’s why most republicans very publicly kiss his ass; all in the hopes that they don’t draw ire when he is inevitably made ineligible to run.

This is just plain bizarre. This is some IMAX level projection from an obvious trump troll. There is no Biden cult, sorry to burst your desperate and pathetic “both sides” fantasy.

i hate trump and it’s so much MUCH worse and embarrassing when someone from the same political side as me speaks from such thorough ignorance about it.

do yourself a favor and spend 30 seconds on googling biden’s stances on doma, dont ask don’t tell and the student loan crisis; to get a glimpse at how he thinks about marginalized/at-risk groups and how’s he’s used them for decades for his political gain.

since you’re clearly digging in your heels; i’m going to try to undercut your next arguments since they are always the same three from the deeply ignorant liberal crowd:

1. biden recently defended his decisions on all three plus multiple more shitty decisions; so it doesn’t matter how long ago he said it or made those laws.
2. biden refused to change his mind all the way up until his presidential campaign and has a solid history of changing his mind but only once it becomes politically convenient for him; so he didn’t “evolve” or get better, he just knows that trump is weaker on this topic and uses your ignorance about his past of truly horrific anti-lgbtq/black/poor history to get your vote.
