That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I've seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I'm sure he's going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it's just your typical election/political disagreements, but we're past that now.

I get you're just a sad little loser and saying this dumb shit is just your way of getting attention from strangers on the internet.

But on the tiny off chance you're not a troll that knows how stupid your own argument is:

Trump has literally said he will be a dictator from day one. He has already made 1 major attempt to end the Democratic process in the US. And has a several courts including the supreme Court stacked in his favour, given another 4 years that will only get worse and he has a much better chance this tike around of actually ending democracy in America. So even if you truly belive the stupid fucking opinion that Joe Biden is just as bad as Trump, taking the hit and voting for Biden this time means you can vote for someone else in 4 years time, so you have a chance to get a president that actually works for you. But if you don't vote and Trump gets elected then there's a good chance you never get a say in who is president ever again.

Also you know your incredibly obvious fake concern over gaza is fucking disgusting btw. You're genuinely a piece of shit.
