We really have to start basing our ideals more than being better than some guy we don't like.
You're right.
How about we base our ideal on "being better than the fascist"?
Or "being better than the rapist"?
Or "being better than the criminal"?
Or "being better than the insurrectionist traitor"?
...you know, that's a lot. Perhaps we could condense all that down somehow?
You can have all those ideals without it being about your favorite team. Trump bad Biden good is nothing but a circle jerk on this platform the same as Biden bad Trump good is on other platforms. Our political system is fucked. Everyone's opinion is valid, but Trump would have gained nowhere near the unfounded respect he has from his party if he wasn't practically the only point of conversation his whole presidency. They like him because you don't. They'll like him more the more he angers you. They are using our tribalism to hold us down and in place.
