    No. No I am not.

    My food is more expensive. The house I want to buy is further out of reach. My medical care is more expensive and more restricted.

    The southern border crisis still rages on.

    The difference is my country is now complicit if not instrumental in a genocide and is in more military conflicts globally.

      Every single one of those things was catalyzed because of something Trump did.

      Handling of COVID. Flooring of interest rates. Tax breaks for the middle class that expired right as terms rolled over and Congress was controlled by morons who wouldn’t renew them (rich still get theirs). Nerfed the ACA’s tax penalty instead of raising subsidies. Moving the fucking embassy to Jerusalem.

      Biden sure ain’t great but he can be swayed by public opinion to some degree. Trump will fucking end us if he comes back.

          Hilariously, nearly everyone ready to defend you just downvoted you here. That says something. I’m not sure what, but something.

            That its a stupid poorly thought out inflammatory response.

            I am just too stripped out on the same cordial “lesser evil” conversation that is going nowhere to care.

            I am pissing people off. Good.

            Trump will be incredibly bad. What is worse is losing a liberal political presence in this country entirely. And we are about there.

            I agree, which is why I am extremely terrified of the current Right wing Democrat president.

      Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.

      The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

    Whatever you want to say about reality, the poll from a couple of days ago pointing out how deeply unhappy young adults are makes this a pretty questionable way of trying to engage that demographic.

    This only makes sense if you’re completely out of touch with the average American…

    Speaking of that, remember when that streaming company Quibi tried to be a thing only on cellphones and mostly in portrait mode?

    The guy who came up with that is now one of the people running Biden’s campaign.

    Dudes great at raising money, but when you start letting him do anything else, everything goes to shit

      No man no one even knows what the fuck Quibi is. Hell I’m just assuming it’s a real thing, I’m taking your word for it because I don’t care enough to look it up. The tent pole of your argument here is based on something no one has ever heard of.

      The “Quibi guy” is Jeffrey Katzenberg.

      AKA, the financial brain behind Dreamworks and the chair of Disney during some pretty solid years. He’s a money guy.

      There are 8 people on that campaign board, and he ain’t there to figure out messages, districts, or any of that. He’s there for fundraising.

      Quibi wasn’t famous because it was a silly idea, it was famous because it was a silly idea that Katzenberg raised an ungodly amount of capital for … almost $2 billion. Homie ain’t the ideas guy. Quibi very much confirmed that he’s no Spielberg or Geffen (the creative cofounders for Dreamworks.) But fuck if he isn’t one of the best fundraisers in the business.

      Biden’s campaign has had double Trump’s cash on hand.

        He’s a money guy.

        I said he’s good at that…

        But that’s not all he’s doing

        It’s like you read my comment, ignored what it said, and repeated it back…

        Biden’s campaign has had double Trump’s cash on hand.

        And it cost Biden twice per vote what it cost trump in 2016… Biden’s the first president in the history of the US to spend 1 billion on a campaign, and he was 30k close to losing.

        And Biden’s polling is worse now

        Either we need a lot more money, or we can stop running geriatric candidates no one wants to be president
