Biden is not “doing genocide”, you act like Biden gets to choose us policy on a whim but that’s not how it works.

You are such a reductionist too, given all Biden is doing for women with abortion and ivf, he’s getting kids breakfast and lunch money, he’s helping reduce college loan disasters, Medicare is going after pharmas that price gouge, he’s the first president ever to join union members on the picket line, I could go on and on.

Shame on you for trying to misrepresent the trust just because you don’t like reality. Life is more complex than that bud, you don’t get to just walk away.

Your no vote could be what brings us to the end of democracy, in which authoritarian regimes everywhere will rise up and kill nato. I’m sure the Palestinian genocide will be over by then and totally no more will have started. Yep, just stick that little head in the sand.

Didn't stop Trump from enacting the policies he wanted to enact, even when his own party tried to stop him. Turns out no, the president has a million tools at their disposal they can use at any time with no consequence. Just like when the Biden bypassed congress to send additional weapons to Israel.

Your no vote could be what brings us to the end of democracy,

Why are you coming at me, instead of the person who has the power, right now, today, to stop giving Israel the bombs they are using to commit genocide and earn the vote of everyone who doesn't want the genocide to resume?

How can you even believe we have a democracy to end if you're arguing that the best choice is a guy actively facilitating genocide? I cannot conceive of a scenario where it is more obvious that the people have no meaningful influence.

he’s helping reduce college loan disasters

I don't know anyone who got student loan money. He could have just wiped all the debt, instead he did it in some bullshit means-tested way knowing the SCOTUS and republicans would cut away at every step.

he’s the first president ever to join union members on the picket line

He broke a strike for train company so profitable they could afford to double their workforce, and give them half the year off, and still afford to give Warren Buffet a billion dollars every year.

It doesn't matter if he gets pom poms and does somersaults while yelling pro-union cheers if he breaks strikes and signals to every company which side he is on.
