    Blinken is only there because Biden needed someone willing to throw every last shred of integrity they have out the window.

    It’s maddening that the party keeps demanding random republicans endorse Harris because Trump is so bad, but Harris won’t even admit that best case scenario Bidens brain is just as cooked.

    Worst case scenario he’s mind isn’t gone and he’s still supporting a genocide.

    But either way, grandpa shouldnt get to drive home from country Kitchen Buffet “one more time” when we all know he can’t drive. Either he should have stopped down, or gotten the 25th by now.

      we all know

      No, actually, some of us have more exacting standards for medical diagnosis than armchair theorizing.

      Biden is bad in this subject. Trump would be massively worse not only here but virtually everywhere else too

        No one is disagreeing with that.

        But using trump to defend supporting a genocide and cutting off aid to its victims will only depress turnout and help trump win.

        What would help stop trump is the rest of the party (especially Harris) calling out Biden despite having the same letter by their name

        With the added benefit of you know…

        Not supporting a genocide and cutting off aid to its victims…

        If you use trump to excuse this then how is that different than people excusing Trump’s extremely dangerous faults because they think Dems would potentially be worse?

        Standards only matter if you hold your own “team” to them, if you don’t they’re not standards.

        One supports Fascism at home, the other supports ethno-Fascist Genocide abroad.

        The distance between one posture and the other is small and far more easy to transverse than people want to believe, whilst the distance between supporting Fascism at home and not supporting Fascism at all (much less the same type of Fascism as the Nazis, whilst actively commiting Genocide) is pretty much an impassable chasm.

        Just because their Theater Of Morality is different doesn’t mean Biden and the DNC are significantly less pro-Authoritarianism than Trump and his cronies.

          Then why the fuck do we not revolutionize and impose a 3rd party? I swear, I have to go down to DC myself to make people realize WE NEED TO GO OUT AND ACT!!! If NO ONE is happy with either party, we should be able to decline either candidate until we can all agree we found a compitent one. God, does anyone know of any revolutionary groups? I know the founding fathers didn’t just declare independency and establish governmemt. They actually met up and planned how to knock these rich assholes off their thrones.
