Some of Donald Trump’s allies are assembling proposals to curtail the Justice Department’s independence and turn the nation’s top law enforcement body into an attack dog for conservative causes, nine people involved in the effort told Reuters.

    So when the republican christofascist dictatorship comes, at least you will have a clean conscience, knowing you didn’t vote for preserving satus quo, shitty as it may be. Good for you!

    I hope, if you can’t find it in yourself to put a ballot in the urn for the lesser evil, that you can put a bullet in the head of the greater.

      The christofascist dictatorship is here, you’re the one enabling it by describing it as “status quo”.

      Name one thing Biden meaningfully did to oppose any of trumps shitty policies. Why would it be any different next time around.

        Name one thing he did that was worse than what the republicans have done? Voting for Biden this fall doesn’t means you have to agree with him. You simply have to agree that having Trump win would be worse. This is like the trolley problem - you’re fucked either way but you can decide how fucked you prefer being.

          So to answer my original question no you literally can’t name a single thing they’re doing to oppose republicans but we have to vote for them to oppose republicans thank you for making my point crystal clear.

          Name one thing he did that was worse than what the republicans have done?

          Lmao OK sure here’s just the stuff from the last couple months

          Suggesting eliminating the asylum program and completely closing the border to refugees

          We’re currently drilling more oil than any country anywhere at anytime in history. Biden has exacerbated that by also putting massive tarrifs of renewable technology from other countries further ensuring were gonna blow by all emissions goals.

          Continuing his full throated support of an explicit genocide against Palestinians.

          Also yes, voting for so.ebody to elect them president does in fact mean you are endorsing his actions it also means you’re responsible for actions he takes if elected. It’s just you liberals are so deeply unserious you’ve convinced yourself “you don’t have to support him you just have to vote for him” isn’t the dumbest fucking thing you could try to say

          Biden ended pandemic protections while there’s still a pandemic.

          Biden gave more money to police than trump.

          Biden has gotten us involved in a genocide and a proxy war, and is handling them both just about as poorly as you can.

          Biden is building more border wall than trump, and the kids are still in cages.

          Biden is cracking down on protests.

          Everything costs.more due to bad economic policy and his mishandling of the pandemic when he got.elected.

          I could.go on, but I’m sure this will all be dismissed, and I will be assured Biden is just a smol bean who can’t do anything, but here’s a list of all the reasons he’s somehow the most effective president…

          Or let me guess. Trump is worse

      Genocide is not a lesser evil, it is the greatest possible evil. It is a moral event horizon, and you will not succeed in your efforts to convince principled communists to damn themselves to hell alongside you.

        Yes he is a conservative and will crush all attempts to end capitalism, but you have to admit one party is clearly more zealous about ending democracy than the other.

          one party is clearly more zealous about ending democracy than the other.

          You don’t get it. Bourgeois democracy is a sham. It has never served working people the way they tell you it has. “One party is clearly” blah blah blah. No. Both parties are playing one of the two roles of the “good cop/bad cop” routine. That’s all this is! It can be true that one side can cause more damage while in power than the other side, but at this point, it’s just batty (and wrong) to think that the side with the blue donkey logo is going to do less harm. Even if we forget that it’s the latter side currently funding and helping orchestrate a fucking genocide, it only ramped up and made worse all the terrible policies implemented when the red elephant had ostensible control. Don’t fall for it. Both “sides” (aka both cops) only want to fuck you over and they’re doing it as a collaborative effort. Voting for either of them only sends the message that you have indeed fallen for the act and that you’ll keep supporting them as long as they keep up that act, which of course they will. If you feel that voting serves a purpose, or that it can be still be used for good, then vote for someone who actually shares your ideals, which neither fascist cop does.
