      They kind of are? The decisions they make are similar?

      Biden didn’t do shit to stop the Missouri AG from getting a list of trans patients from planned parenthood. Those people are going to be persecuted either way.

      And on Palestine their positions are even closer, except I think biden actually believes in it, whereas trump doesn’t believe in anything-on this one issue, he might genuinely be better, because pressuring him would be easier.

      Politics does not include elections. This is why policies supported by the majority of Americans (single payer, legal weed, legal abortions (was it only early or including late that like 70% support?) And cutting aid to “Israel”) support are not law. Because Americans do not apply pressure.
