    Do I want to vote for biden? Fuck no.

    Am I going to? Absolutely.

    We have a 2 party problem in this country but 1 party country run by deranged republicans sounds like shit. Their supreme court has already stolen thousands of dollars from me with their shitty rulings. Not to mention the basic rights they’re continuing to strip from everyone

      I just want to know what’s going on in the minds of these schizo liberals and moderates who plan to vote Trump because Biden isn’t left enough for them.

      Like, I want a candidate further left than Biden too, but I’m not going to vote for the literal antithesis of a left-leaning American candidate. That just signals to the establishment that Biden wasn’t safe enough and next time they’ll put someone who is even more conservative as the nominee, and the Overton window shifts even further to the right.

      Has everyone already forgotten what a shitty 4 years it was under Trump? He’s not an unknown variable anymore, we know exactly how bad a second term is going to be.

        I expect some of it is astroturf like the that white republican guy who had a fake black guy alt and spent his time calling democrats racist. I think people underestimate the sheer amount of billionaire money the republican aparatus has and why its still going despite it being widely unpopular.

        The other thing is Biden actually has made some good appointments but the corporate media doesn’t like them so they don’t, for instance, want to praise the NLRB appointments.
