      like its any different from what republicans would do, they just pay lip service to you instead of conservatives.

        Biden “dropped Ukraine” because a republican controlled house won’t let him do anything. If he had a functional government things would be different

          its always like this, isnt it? almost like the system is designed not to let the people win. and conservatives mysteriously always get their way somehow.

          biden had a blue wave going for him on election and he did absolutely nothing with it.

            i’m pointing out the obvious fact nothing gets fundamentally fixed ever no matter who you vote for.

            you may not like hearing it but your system is broken. the far right will keep winning until you fix it.

              “both sides bad” is a republican talking point designed to spread apathy among progressives

                dunno about republicans but “both sides are bad” is a truthful statement when you factor in how, in practice, democrats do either nothing or enact right wing policies.

                electoral systems are broken all over the world, but the 2 party system where you chose between 2 right wing parties is even worse.

                  Your first statement is objectively false, the Biden admin has been doing some really great things if you paid attention

                    hes doing lip service and diversion.

                    like when he showed up to a railroad strike, with potential to fundamentally change labor laws for the better, did a 30 second speech and coopted the movement to end it and give you minimal gains. or when he slapped the wrist of a couple of the corporations wreaking havoc on society and the climate. or how he has no actual plan to fix healthcare or cost of living/homelessness.

                    to the rest of the world it doesnt change anything at all, just your regular genocidal warmongering imperialism.

                    hes just being covertly fascist instead of overtly like trump.

                    inb4 “but change is slow and hard”, yeah but its funny how the system makes change for the worse quick and easy 🤔
