Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump
Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump
Democratic strategists, liberal pundits are making a living off doubting President Joe Biden's viability in the 2024 presidential election. Why?
While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden's Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he's too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and ... well, disappointed in Biden or not, I'm voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe's tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn't want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
You're viewing a single thread.
Aren’t you tired of being told to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps?” Vote RFK Jr 2024!
You mean the guy that claimed that trying to stop the spread of a respiratory virus was a greater affront to liberty than the literal genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany? The guy whose own family called him out for attacking the CDC and Anthony Fauci despite the science clearly showing that the COVID vaccines were MUCH better for you than catching the damn virus those vaccines were meant to stop? That guy?
Or the guy who spoke at a Moms for Liberty group, basically giving that very Conservative and extremist group a platform? Or the guy who agrees with conservatives that the government is being 'weaponised' against them?
The guy who plans on abandoning former members of the Warsaw Pact to Russia's tender mercies, on the promise that Russia will leave Ukraine when we stop sending arms to them? On the silly notion that UN Peacekeepers will somehow bring Russia to heel? When has the UN ever managed to accomplish ANYTHING, let alone stand up to a former Great Power?
Or the guy who thinks that the riot at the capital was 'just a protest' and that there needs to be a 'special counsel' to 'determine whether their convictions are appropriate (pro-tip, Kennedy, I don't think they got ENOUGH punishment for what they did!)? That guy?
Or the guy who panders to Republicans by saying "I won't take your guns away," while still saying "Oh, but I believe in gun control"? THAT guy?
Oh yeah, and the guy who, in a room with 100 people who have a choice between him, Biden, and Trump, will create a 49 Trump, 48 Biden, 3 RFK Jr. and ensure that the room goes with Trump because the rule is 'the person with the most votes wins', and whose campaign has specifically said it's attempting to "Get Rid of Biden" with no mention of Trump? THAT Guy?
Yeah, I won't. And you would be cruel and stupid to do so, knowing that my example of 100 people in a room is EXACTLY how the US voting system works.
