This. This all day long.

Yeah I'm not sure how to take this post. The image is clearly both-sides-ism but the text of OPs post on it appears to be calling that bad.

This posting format makes sense in specific subreddit/communities like /leopardsatemyface or /whitepeopletwitter. But here it just makes it unclear what the intended message is.

I had that issue on an old phone, could very well be hardware variance.

White light is the combination of all those wavelengths. It is only the combination that makes it "white" in exactly the same way that a smaller range of wavelengths are "red" or "blue".

Well I suppose not always. We did have a revolutionary war and a civil war.

But anybody alive today? Less bite than a newborn.

I dunno man. It could be a 33 yr old sharing their experiences.

So young, so precious those 33 year olds, so full of optimism.

Mostly because Netanyahu has been souring on Biden real fast. Biden held up a delivery of bombs to Israel back in May, citing Israel's plans to bomb Rafah. Netanyahu announced he was pushing forward anyway, and there was a big public spat about it. That sort of thing has been happening since Oct 7.

I mean one could say it's all an act or something, but that strains credulity to me.

I'm not saying Biden is doing great here, I'd much prefer he take Bernie Sanders' advice on this and stop weapon deliveries altogether. But it's certainly fair to assess that Biden wants the genocide to stop, but is not doing enough to stop it.

I'm one of the "company-provided-phone-only" folks. Thankfully, I work for a pretty decent employer who has never abused that in the nearly 10 years I've worked there. But I realize that's a pretty rare privilege.

That's true, it could be racism, it could be both.

God, if Taylor Swift runs for president I'd be stunned. I mean, given the circumstances I'd vote for her, but geez Louise.

The only outcome that might suck even more is if Biden did step down, Kamala steps up, and she still loses. Cuz then it's like... oh so we're just gonna be misogynistic as a voter base now, great, thanks fellow Americans. Like, we were ready to vote for a shambling shell of an old man but not a lady with Hillary Clinton energy, okay. 🤦

I wouldn't equate voting for the lesser of two evils with "blind allegiance".

For all of Biden's faults (of which there are many) he's still the better candidate on offer.

All the issues you bring up are valid, of course, but unfortunately there's a lot at risk should Trump win. And voting for a senile old man is still preferable to voting for a fascist who is primarily running as a way to stay out of prison.

I'm not sure how we can hijack the DNC primaries to get a real quality candidate, but as far as improving our elections overall, that's where I'd like to see some progress.
