Biden still has to earn votes and nothing Trump said is different from what Biden is doing. He’s just saying it out loud.

You have to be in a position to not be affected by Republican policies to think that. Really to be single-minded about one issue, no matter how valid in itself, while ignoring everything else that affects so many so badly.

You may think you get virtue points for this but what you are showing is just how incredibly privileged and selfish you are.

I'm not doing it for "points". The entire idea that this is some child's game is the problem. People are already dying in massive numbers, here and abroad. Democrats want to just continue the status quo, while the republicans keep changing the status quo.

The entire idea that this is some child’s game is the problem

It's precisely that you can't wrap your head around the fact that this is NOT a child's game where you get to personally pick - for everyone else - the one issue that matters to you this week that is the problem.

If that's true then why do we have elections at all?
