I believed him. I believed statements like this paved his road to victory in 2020.

Absolutely.

I'll admit I voted Biden in 2020, thinking that a cultural win against resurgent American fascism would help turn the tide of history. (I didn't have any delusions that he'd actually rule as a progressive.)

Four years later, with millions more in poverty, it's only done the opposite.

I voted for Biden in 2020 wanting to give people a chance to remember they’re human, one timescale hoping that his centrist approach had a chance of fixing government. I voted for him again seeing that he made all the attempts anyone could imagine and was starting to attempt a few more progressive things

Trump is not fit to run the bank in a game of Monopoly, and I would vote against it

I'd vote Charlie Sheen over Trump
