It's crazy this asshole is going to win again. Biden has done exponentially more for Americans than Trump but he's still going to lose.
Crazy Town. Top to bottom.
This country is jam packed full of morons.
I am going to be more generous to people, there is a saying that you should be charitable to people and ruthless to systems.
Much of the Republican base ultimately have the same hardships as working class democrats, but republicans are able to exploit those hardships and stoke racism sentiment.
The white supremacists and bigots can get fucked, but the majority of people are exploited workers looking for an answer to how to feed their families. I am by no means saying republicans will give to them, they will make it worse, but in a word where you are looking for food, you aren't going to be looking at the true underlying platform of the candidates
Lots of them hang out here LoL.
Democracy cannot fix idiotism. This is long in the making dumbing down of a population.
If you call the folks that you want to vote for your guy idiots, then they're probably not going to vote for your guy.
When most humans are idiots or ignorant (they are), direct democracy doesn't work. And other forms of democracy also don't work that well. But the alternative is... authoritarianism, which also doesn't work.
The only way to achieve a truly liberated society is to have a direct democracy of a well-informed populace and an elimination of social hierarchies, but that's just a pipe dream... any form of socialism that isn't Marxist-Leninism or "Democratic Socialism" (begging the capitalists to pls give us at least a crumb of socialism, the false belief that socialism is achievable through peaceful reform under an inequal/capitalist society) is never gonna happen.
Can you give me a list of things Biden did so I can point them out to my in-laws? Because all I've seen him do is support war so it's hard to argue with them
This is just a few of his major achievements I can think of off the top of my head. There are way more accomplishments that he directly and people he has appointed have delivered than I can possibly list.
And anyone who thinks Trump would be better for the war in Gaza than Biden is delusional
The UAW endorsed Biden. This gets weird, because many blame Biden for ending the rail strike, which he did, and which echoes the Bush Sr. Foul play with ATCs and pilots. But in exchange for ending the strike they got nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. Fain plays hardball and has probably gotten more for unions and their members than almost anyone, if he's okay with Biden, I'm inclined to agree.
To your last comment, they always go back to the one time trump was asked about the war and his response was "I just want people to stop dying" it doesn't make any sense to me, if you're going to hang on to a few words someone says than you should also hang on to EVERYTHING else they say too. But this will help me point to a few things instead of just saying he's a better option than trump because of shit he's done/said

He's made a significant number of judicial appointments which will affect the judicial system for decades: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judicial-nominations-200-senate-confirmation-biden/

His FCC brought back net Neutrality. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net-neutrality-fcc/
His CFPB put up limits to anti-consumer terms for payday loans and bank fees. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-cfpb-is-cleaning-up-junk-fees/
His administration raised fees for oil drilling in several major areas, although he also approved a large number of drilling permits so this may be a wash. https://apnews.com/article/oil-gas-drilling-public-lands-interior-climate-ffc88438d6f9c5d48e9a8fc7cffc749a

Thank you
Oh! And we may get rid of Non-compete agreements because the FTC just voted to recommend a ban.
