But bothsidessame? Right??
I literally can't tell the difference! They're the same picture! /s
Biden, or the left at large, isn't immune to criticism just because Trump, or the right at large, is worse. Biden, the DNC, and the American left are pretty bad right now and deserve criticism even if Trump, the GOP, and the right are much worse. Saying both sides are bad doesn't necessarily mean they're equally bad.
Yes we know. The commenter above you said that both sides are not the same, not that the democrats are perfect.
Chips act, drug control prices, non competes banned, green energy, going for Roe, student debt reform, weed, PACT act, etc, etc, Get outta here with that ~~bothsidessame~~ oh he tried the "left pretty bad" instead.
No, I agree. I think for all his flaws, Biden has been a better president than expected. I'm just pointing out that there IS a lot to criticize Biden and the Democrats for. From running Biden a second time to not better executing the withdrawal from Afghanistan to placing restriction on how Ukraine could defend itself when Putin first invaded to not focusing on rebuilding their image in states like Florida or Ohio to not going at Republicans harder to a lot of Democratic politicians participating in insider trading... they're not great. In fact they're pretty bad. Are they as bad as the Republicans? No, of course not. But the statement that both parties in the country are bad does hold some truth to it.
B b b b Biden bad!1
Biden is bad objectively, I don't how you can look at him and say "wow, that's a good president". Despite his glaring flaws, he still preformed better than I expected, and he's leagues above his opponent who also has glaring flaws, but 100x worse. It's pretty sad that we're in a position we're these are options.
Green energy via IRA, union empowerment, student debt forgiveness, marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure (build back better), drug price controls, chips act, PACT act, etc etc etc. Non-competes banned (by FTC, but apparently was voted for along 'party lines'). Pardoning people kicked out for being gay. And supporting Ukraine. Fucking great President. Get outta here with that objectively bad nonsense.
*Oh geez I already listed a bunch of this off to you and you're still b b b Biden bad. Unbelievable. At least you dropped your comparison act and revealed you think "objectively bad" aka it will always be b b b Biden bad.
But it's very important that it always happen during election year. Just in case the Republicans have it too hard.
They don't happen during election years, they happen every year. That's the thing with a two party system, a lot of people will disenfranchised from both parties. People who don't support either candidate or either party are forced to pick between the lesser of two evils, and therefore will end up voting for a candidate that's neither good or aligns with values.
Left image is a canned PR message from an intern who input "Write a generic Presidential holiday greeting" into ChatGPT
Right image is an actual post from the literal actual guy, probably while he takes an enormous dump on his gold-plated toilet.
Biden's account gives you some generic superficial squishy pablum totally unreflective of the person wielding power.
Trump's account give you the raw red-meat deranged inner thoughts of their most racist online uncle, grasping at the levers of power once again.
I understand how the second bit would turn you off of Trump. But I cannot, for the life of me, imagine any kind of enthusiasm for the first bit. It's just... nothing. Absolutely devoid of feeling or intention. Low grade ad-copy, like the person writing it could not give a single shit as to whether it was looked at. And the fact that the candidate himself is this dead fish do-nothing flop doesn't improve things.
One is a peaceful message of unity to every citizen. The other is... not.
The admin posted the Christmas equivalent of "Everyone, please have a nice day". Its not a message of anything more consequential than a polite wave of your hand.
Nothing wrong with politeness. I prefer it over angered tantrum.
Wish Biden would politely GTFO so someone more qualified could run for office
The hell are you on to think that's a canned message.
I love morons on this app implying this Biden tweet very obviously written by one of his staff is somehow representative of his superior mental state.
At least Trump is honest enough to be senile in the open, but you all run circles around trying to convince yourselves that Biden isn't 3ft in the grave. Own it, admit you supported a sundowning genocide supporter
they are both very near the grave. Age is not really a determining factor this election is it now? Neither is genocide support, they both are. Then I'ld say any resemblance of sanity is the one factor to choose.
