No. No I am not.
My food is more expensive. The house I want to buy is further out of reach. My medical care is more expensive and more restricted.
The southern border crisis still rages on.
The difference is my country is now complicit if not instrumental in a genocide and is in more military conflicts globally.
Every single one of those things was catalyzed because of something Trump did.
Handling of COVID. Flooring of interest rates. Tax breaks for the middle class that expired right as terms rolled over and Congress was controlled by morons who wouldn’t renew them (rich still get theirs). Nerfed the ACA’s tax penalty instead of raising subsidies. Moving the fucking embassy to Jerusalem.
Biden sure ain’t great but he can be swayed by public opinion to some degree. Trump will fucking end us if he comes back.
Hilariously, nearly everyone ready to defend you just downvoted you here. That says something. I’m not sure what, but something.
Obvious next question: do you believe any of that would change for the better under trump?
I think Trump is human garbage.
Like Biden.
If you vote for human garbage, you get human garbage.
I dont vote for human garbage.
The 2 party system is embarrassingly stupid.
We need to force an alternative.
Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.
The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

Yeah, a risk because he might not win the election, despite how much you’re trying to get him elected. It will also be MUCH worse for palestine under trump.
It will also be MUCH worse for palestine under trump.
Genocide is genocide. The Palestinian people get eradicated by both Biden and Trump. There is no “worse” genocide.
Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.
Very well put.
And might I say, while our country is very young, this is not the first time a potential presidency is called the end of democracy on Earth. In fact that is the narrative almost every election cycle. And that man often wins. And here we still are.
Trump wins, we still have Bernie, and AOC, and Katie Porter, and Ro Khanna, and Rashida Tlaib.
What really threatens our democracy is if we lose those people because they aren’t “progressive enough” or because they are “too liberal”.
Trump winning will be a crucial blow to many people in this country.
Biden cementing genocide as a good thing that Americans support has already occurred, continues to occur, if he wins, will escalate, and that is a mark on America’s soul that we can’t clean out.
Trump had 4 years and didn’t do that. Biden had 4 years and did. Will Trump escalate it now? Sure as shit, and that is Biden’s fault.
