The fact things are this close is amazingly disappointing in humanity as a whole.
On the one side, you have Trump who wants to be a dictator, actively hates anyone who isn't white and conervative, said he wants to kill his political opponents, tried to overthrow the government, had a 4 year presidency that was basically an episode of Jersey Shore everyday, and idolizes Putin/Hitler/etc.
And then there is Biden, who isn't super "exciting", old AF, and supports Israel too much for political reasons, but otherwise has done an alright job as president for 4 years.
How are the polls and the race even remotely this close? It's no wonder we can't do something like fix climate change as a society when people are this fracking stupid.
Remember all those times when a certain party cut back spending on education? That's how we get to where we are today.
It wasn't just the judges that were part of a long-term plan.
I have a sister-in-law that thinks I'm crazy every time I say that the systematic sabotage of education is part of the plan to dumb down America and turn people into uneducated Republican voters.
Now c'mon, does this statement really embrace reality? Aside from it's toxic passivity, it's not even true. Biden's brand of support for Israel has been absolutely toxic politically. He supports Israel because it is the hub of US power projection in the Middle East.
How is that not a political reason?
what does that even mean? 'ok he supports a genocidal ethnostate, but its only cause of power projection in the middleeast'
Exactly, it's not that he, personally, wants to slaughter millions of Arabs, it's just that that's the price we have to pay to preserve the American ability to slaughter millions of other Arabs in the future.
It's security, not politics.
It's politics in the sense that war is politics by another means, but that's not really what people associate with the word. If you want to take it that far, there isn't much that couldn't be called politics.
"Biden supports Israel because it gets the first lady horny". Well, that's just marriage politics!
Sounds like a political reason to me
I plan to vote for Biden.
I do not plan on telling any polls that. If Biden polls too well, I'm convinced voters will be complacent and risk not voting.
Ahhh yeah, the milquetoast liberal criticism of Joe Biden as “unexciting.” Go get him, tiger.
Your comment is a shining beacon for American ignorance.
Yeah extreme times calls for extreme takes and hopefully flash them only during a quick seconds with background music or the dopamine wilts
Fptp voting is how
Simple
That's not everything, but it's a big part of it.
Sabotage of the education system Systemic and hostile takeover of the Judicial system Crowbaring Religious bigotry into government
There are more than one reason.
@chronicledmonocle @Rapidcreek too bad he's busy running on GOP talking points when it comes to immigration. Yet another self-inflicted wound.
Biden is an effective President brought down by poor PR and image in the eyes of voters.
