As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn’t designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they’re pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I’m legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden’s doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people’s existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn’t complete dogshit

      As with most things there’s a pretty convincing argument to be made that having a democratic president stifles all progressive movements.

      The only difference I’ve seen between the Trump and Biden residencies is when Trump was president every liberal had BLM in their profile and theybwere mad about discrimination, treatment of immigrants and fascism.

      Now there’s a dem president those same people are lecturing everybody to stop complaining because it’s making them look bad, even though 4 years ago theyw ere complaining about the same stuff and nothing changed.

      If Trump had won a second term every lib in congress would have “free palestine” and “the first pride was a riot” in their bios.

      Instead we get the same libs posting Biden with laser eyes talking shit about unions and not understanding that “dark brandon” is funny because it plays on the absurdist notion that Biden would ever do something good.

      he says nice sounding things about us sometimes, which kinda seems like doing something if you don’t let yourself think about it
