I don't really understand hexbear. They are leftists that are so left they are Nazis?

I get it, I don't like voting for Biden, but we live in a two party system where we have to vote for the least evil one.

And despite myself, Biden has passed some of the most progressive legislation ever (at least my lefty podcasts tell me that) So while he was glacially, immorally, slow to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, he has done it and his policies are inarguably more moral than Trumps were and likely will be, should trump win.

Horseshoe theory. The extremes ends on both sides aren't identical, but they sure do rhyme

Biden has passed some of the most progressive legislation ever

No, but he has passed some horribly racist bills back when he was involved in passing bills

And yet he was overwhelmingly the favorite pick for Black voters in the 2020 primary.

People change. Context matters -- some of those bills were even supported by black community leaders. It obviously didn't turn out well.

Plus, it matters to some people that he was happily VP under Obama. I personally don't get it, but to some people being #2 to a black person at #1 meant something.
