    I wouldn’t say I support Biden. I feel most people don’t. I do know that I don’t want republicans to keep themselves over represented especially in our highest courts anymore. The DNC is the only Biden supporter.

      There’s not many Biden supporters, it’s just there’s no alternative that isn’t batshit insane.

      Voting for Biden is like breaking a leg, and the Republican alternative is like getting your leg amputated.

      Very few people want either, but if one of the two are gonna happen, it’s a pretty easy choice.

        I’d view it more as just… Biden is practically a net nothing. It’s like your house is on fire. Voting for Biden is like standing by and watching it burn down. Voting for Trump (or really any other GOP member) is like adding a nuclear bomb to the fire (to own the libs or something).

        Biden does do some good and some bad things, but the good things he does are often just not enough (eg, as a Canadian, I absolutely cannot comprehend how Americans defend their cluster fuck of a healthcare system). If the house wasn’t on fire, that’d be fine, but not even trying to put out the fire is pretty shitty. There’s gonna be a lot of deaths and damage.

        As bad as it is to ignore the fire, leveling the entire city is just so laughably worse.

        He’s been kind of a wet blanket but the IRA and union support are pretty fuckin based.

            And then he claimed that he negotiated for them and gave them four sick days, as if that’s supposed to be a win for them? They didn’t get the pay raises or the reduction of brutal hours or even the amount of sick days they wanted but that’s supposed to be a union win for the Biden administration?
