I don't think you should consider being simple-minded enough to deserve politicians like Trump to be a good thing, but you do you.
i didn't say it's a good thing. i wish we had a society of independent, compassionate people and communities, but like i said, we get the government we deserve.
I don't think "deserve" actually has much to do with what people get. I think you get the government you get unless you're willing to organize with others and actually push for something better.
But you probably think talking trash about Biden on lemmy threads is somehow doing those things. It isn't.
>But you probably think
this is a baseless accusation.
I agree. I should've waited for demonstrable proof that you think.
this is an insult coupled with a bad faith interpretation
I actually thought you were making that joke and I was pointing it out. So were you serious then with that quoting and response? Cuz if so....oh buddy how could you not see that joke coming?
whoops
>I don’t think “deserve” actually has much to do with it. I think you get the government you get unless you’re willing to organize with others and actually push for something better.
... and if you're not willing to seize your fate, you deserve what you get.
Ugh I see why horseshoe theory sticks around
this is not a rebuttal, it's posturing.
but at least i'm not being accused of being a shill or a republican in disguise this time.
nah you're just telling people to get on their revolution grindset or something...actually I don't know what you're advocating for besides whining that Biden hasn't single-handedly solved systemic issues that have been worsening for decades and have more to do more with the entirety of the government than the office of the president.
if only he had been in the senate or the vice presidency, making things better instead of worse for the last 50 years
Sounds like Trump's line about how Hillary should've singlehandedly fixed the government.
I get that he ain't perfect. But the other guy is a wanton dictator so I'm fine with voting for him.
Biden wrote the patriot act and the crime bill. he has been expanding government power for decades.
Trump wants to be a dictator and to have complete immunity so he can do things like shoot protestors or kill people suspected of theft on sight.
So like...again I get that Biden ain't great, but I'd rather vote for the one that'll leave office versus the dude that pretty obviously wants to suspend the constitution. 🤷
I hate to be in the position of defending any politician, but we have evidence that trump will leave office: he's done it before. by contrast, we have never seen Biden give up the presidency.

LOL, dude, he started a fucking insurrection. By contrast, we have Joe Biden leaving the vice presidency without a peep when his term ended and going back into private life.
If you think Joe Biden is a wanton dictator and Trump is the democracy guy I genuinely don't know if you do think at all.
