Is this more 'both sides the same' crappola? Sure sounds like that.

The sides are definitely not the same. One side is a fascist, a rapist, and a felon; the other side has trouble being coherent after 6pm.

They're not the same, and I know who I'm voting for (not the fascist). But damn do I wish we had some better choices.

I'm happy enough to vote for the Biden administration. Whether or not Biden is actually leading the charge himself doesn't really matter to me, it's what they have accomplished in the past 4 years that I actually like (with the obvious exception of Gaza).

To be clear, I'm not indifferent on the first 4 years of Biden, I actively like it and wish for it to continue if more aggressive reform isn't on the table, which it isn't, nor would I expect it to be.

That said, the debate validated the biggest concerns about Biden. I have faith that his administration would keep up the good work if Biden is too feeble to run the show himself. But it's shitty optics, and I don't blame people for being alarmed. Especially since Harris isn't very popular, nor do I fully trust her not to hold the reigns too tightly if they're passed to her.

I don't think this is. It's not wrong if it's true. In this case it's very true.

Now if you said both Biden and Trump committed the same amount of crimes. That would be doing the both sides thing.
