 @ac7cd295 yeah, he's a career politician. With them it really is hard to determine their personal values; they just go with the popular opinion.

 @2a70c54d @ac7cd295 and presentation. this is just a presentation bc he can't actually do anything, unlike you know, when he had the opportunity to back the rail worker unions.

 @2b63efd8 @2a70c54d @ac7cd295 Yeah, it's gonna take more years than he has left of posing before I forget how he cut railworkers down at mid-femur with one stroke, and didn't pay them back with protective legislation.

 @e0c85d7a @2a70c54d @ac7cd295 yeah as for the clown who commented like a moron and blocked me before I embarrassed him... yes I did "ignore" all the things he's done that are outside the scope of this conversation. but you know, #BlueMAGA brains just vomit rhetorical garbage the moment you acknowledge their patron saint is a piece of shit except in comparison to a bigger piece of shit.
whatta killer campaign strategy 🙄

 @2b63efd8 @e0c85d7a @ac7cd295 every time. People have got to stop worshipping at the altar of celebrity. These are all just people. Humans. They eat and shit and fuck up, too.

 @2a70c54d @e0c85d7a @ac7cd295 I mean I realized what the problem is a little bit ago, and why is impossible to have a civilized discussion with enthusiastic dems. they accuse you of aiding Trump/Republican campaigns bc subconsciously they know that they themselves can't admit Biden is as terrible as he is and still vote for him. 
all we ever say is yes, we have to and should and will vote for him but gee wouldn't it be great if we had a candidate that wasn't flawed in x number of ways. 
they don't hear the first part, bc they can't add those two ideas together. they're just lying to themselves and lashing out at us.

 @2b63efd8 @2a70c54d @e0c85d7a @ac7cd295 Thing that I repeat often, and will be repeating often until I die - just once in my lifetime I want to vote *for* someone and not *against* someone at a General Election. 

In other words, we have the same problem in the UK. The Labour Party is dogshit bad and has somehow done the impossible and got even worse in the past year under Starmer. But they aren’t the Tories who are just vomit inducing.

 @28e7000d @2b63efd8 @e0c85d7a @ac7cd295 it's like that in the States with the GOP and the Dems. One parry is actively trying to fuck us over and the other party while not actively evil, isn't doing much to curb their colleagues' insatiable appetite for pain and chaos.
