Biden is the president now.
Regardless as to what happens in a few months, the current sitting US president through action and inaction is endorsing genocide. It doesn't matter who else exists, because the office isn't held by anyone else.
We should be able to have a conversation about human rights abuses without invoking the name of someone worse.
I don't imagine many people are on the fence about who they're going to vote for and constantly screaming about the Cheeto any time criticism of the president is brought up really only serves as admission that yeah, Biden is that bad.
All I see is deflection, constantly. No one wants to talk about Biden, successes or failures. It's as if the only exists as a comparison to Trump. And if a candidate only looks good when compared to a pile of shit, then he isn't a good candidate.
I mean, I read the response you replied to as "it not just biden, it is the system as a whole, and anyone that ever got close to being president".
And I agree. every president you have, there is some unjust war you are involved. As americans get pissed with their president, the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and says "here they go again".
genocides are gonna keep happening as long as you keep voting for these dumbasses in your primaries. And I can't see the situation changing anytime soon.
If you can find someone who has a chance of winning and will do something than please point them out
my quick reply would be Bernie Sanders
And the democrats did everything they could to make sure he would not win the primary in spite of how popular he was. There is no winning.
