A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

    I voted for Biden as the least worst of the only two bad options, as I have in every general election I have participated in in both Congressional and Presidential races.

    I’ve only had the opportunity to vote for politicians I actually have confidence in the ability to govern in primaries, and I could first vote in 2004.

    I’m almost certain I will die without ever having the opportunity to vote for anything less than a proud crony capitalism sycophant in a general election.

    We’re fucked with Neoliberals or fascists. It just feels more compassionate for me to vote for our shithole to decline a little slower under the Neoliberals.

      I believed in Obama when I voted for him. I was sorely disappointed when he continued The Patriot Act, among other things. He was still world’s better than his predecessor though.

      and that’s all you’re ever going to get w this system; let it fail.

        No, I’m going to get progress over regression. I’m not going to blow up the lives of myself and the next generation because it’s not perfect. What a shit take.
