    Right now, all I see my vote as is a means to buy time before I can get my sis and I safely out of the country. Biden nor the Democratic party is going to fix any the problems in the country, or keep people like my sis safe, but he’s not actively trying to dismantle everything like the Republican party. I don’t think either of them belong in power, but because of the nature of our political system, we’re more likely to see it systematically dissolved than see it fixed. We’re just choosing the speed at which it happens at this point.

      Okay but Biden isn’t even trying to slow it down so maybe instead use your energy to actually try something that will fix society.

          Attack infrastructure used by the police and polluting industries, join protest movements against mountain valley pipeline, cop city and many others, build dual power organizations, join a prisoner support organization, join food not bombs, organize your workplace into a union, support and work with black lives matter, organize with the many organizations that help immigrants, knowing any skills you have I could get more specific there is plenty you could be doing to actually help radically transform society.

            And vote for the President who is sending us to hell a little more slowly than the others, yeah?

              Is he sending the Palestinians to hell slower, the Yemenis the afghans, the migrants at the border, the black people murdered by police violence. Don’t work with him, don’t prop him up, excuse his violence instead fight him like all the others with everything you have. Biden is not your friend unless your one of his millionaire donors.

                God, do you just purposely ignore everything people say? I didn’t say Biden was my friend. I literally just said he’s sending us to hell a little more slowly than Trump and DeSantis.

                  Okay maybe you but I stated in the above he is not sending a lot of people to hell more slowly he is doing it just as fast. Maybe you are a white male american citizen with moderate wealth who benefits personally from Biden is so yes he is sending you to hell slower. Instead of advocating for voting for him do actions that actually challenge the current civilization.

                    1. I know your agenda won’t let you concede this argument, but
                    2. I am not Biden’s friend; while you seem obsessed with him.
                    3. What the hell makes you think a republican President wouldn’t be more jingoistic? They’ve always been like that! Hell, DeSantis just gave the state guard full of college volunteers and disabled ex-Marine veterans 90 mil in military vehicles and guns— and changed their program into a forced boot camp where they punished dissenters— so they could be ordered to invade other states as a militia.
                    4. I’m done arguing with you, please shut the hell up.
