There's no need for balance, everyone knows Trump is garbage and all that would do is add to the unproductive echo chamber. A threat in the open isnt as much a danger as a threat that hides among us. Republicans don't claim to be an ally to anyone other than white, straight, and mostly male. Democrats on the other hand claim unity and inclusion until election day, then everyone back under the bus.
Biden’s administration has done a lot of good for a lot of people.
He's done a lot for capital while tossing us breadcrumbs and poverty
Respectfully you should open your eyes, ignore your hate and actually critically look at what he has done.
I have opened my eyes and saw he's helped kill over 180k people in Gaza and the West Bank. his proxy war in Ukraine has killed untold Ukrainians and Russians. And that's just the start
It’s not lost on most everyone here- how you shit on Biden, and thinly allude to hating Trump equally.
What everyone ALSO knows- is that you know no one here is voting for Trump anyway… so there’s no reason to publicly support him when all you need to do is urge people to not vote against him.
I actively encourage anyone to withhold a vote from Trump or Biden, they may have different names, but the policies are the same and they're paid by the same corporations and bankers. We get shit on, tossed breadcrumbs, and liberals call it the most progressive thing ever. They're afraid to speak out against the corruption that they see for fear of losing their breadcrumbs.
Biden and Trump policies are nowhere NEAR the same, not even in the same universe the same.
A Biden supreme court would never have struck down Roe Vs. Wade.
Biden would never tell Putin "Do whatever the hell you want."

As much as Biden supports Israel, he would never tell them to "finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life."

uhhhh.....
Who? Was? President? In? 2022?
We aren't talking about who was President, we're talking about policy differences and you cannot say, in any reality, that Trump and Biden are on the same side when it comes to abortion or judicial appointments.
You cannot say, in the real reality, that a President Biden will affect these issues. Facts are facts.
The President does in fact nominate Supreme Court members, and there is a real chance that both Thomas and Alito will be gone before 2028.
Who do you trust to replace them?
Cory Doctorow.
Not a candidate.
Not eligible for the Presidency either, but that wasn't the question.
I don't trust The Candidate.
I trust the Canadian who coined the term "Enshittification".
Direct Democrat action has led to 3 of those conservative justices currently sitting on SCOTUS
Continuing to send weapons and money is allowing Israel to finish the job.
I’m surprised you’re not defending Russia and blaming the US for Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
I don't defend imperialist regardless of what country they are.

What does a nearly thirty year old article have to do with anything?
The US has know for decades what would happen when they pushed NATO into Ukraine
This is straight up Russian propaganda.
Out of the mouth of US officials?
Do you have any official Nato documents or sources where they say they won’t expand the boundaries?
Why would Russia be so upset about a defensive pact?
Nobody was pushing NATO into Ukraine until Russia invaded Crimea in 2014.
Democratic INACTION. Not action.
Republicans actively placed those judges on the court.
Direct action from Biden helped put Thomas in the bench
No, again, Biden failed to take action which allowed Thomas to be confirmed.

You're repeatedly pushing misinformation here, it's not a good look.
I get that free speech is a thing not to be taken lightly, but I honestly don’t know why this dude isn’t banned for this shit.
He’s admitted to being here to urge people not to vote. Nothing good comes from that and he’s all about misinformation- Almost all the time.
It took me 30 seconds to prove he was bullshittting when he said Schiff and Pelosi were asking Biden to step down. No one removed that propaganda. Seriously…
Why is he still here?
You want nothing more than an echo chamber and everyone not complying to be banned.
You’re an admitted troll here to disrupt our election, yeah. I want people like you gone.
You spread misinformation with nearly every comment you make that is easily disproven. I don’t know why the mods have such patience with you, but you should be thankful.
Telling people they don't have to vote Democrat or they do not have to vote Republican is not trying to disrupt an election.
Disrupting the election process would be demanding that people have to vote for one party and anything else is a wasted vote, that is a form of voter suppression. The same type of voter suppression tactics the RNC use. And you keep invoking mods as a method to silence people that oppose you and your ideology. I thought liberals were supposed to be the ones that took the high road, believed in free speech, and would never think of silencing dissent. Behaviors that they claim only Republicans do
That link is pure speculation.

So you openly admit that you’re here to disrupt an election.
The truth comes out. Was that so hard?
By telling people not to vote for the people that I do not support? You telling everyone that their vote is wasted if it's not going to Biden is a form of voter suppression and a clear disruption of the election process
Okay man. You admitted that you’re actively trying to disrupt an election. It’s a known fact that non-votes support Trump. Don’t play dumb. This is a proven fact.
I’m no longer responding to you in good faith as you aren’t here in good faith.
Supplying weapons in Israel is horrible.
Russia invading Ukraine is not a proxy war, it’s helping Ukraine defend itself from an invading country.
This is 100% proxy war, a mere escalation of the civil war that's been occurring in the Donbas
Russia invaded Ukraine.
Ukraine is defending themselves from an invading country.
