One guy wants to work on Civil rights, taxes, and social services.
The other guy wants to jail anyone who said mean things about him, suspend the constitution, and immediately apon being sworn in use the military to institute the insurrection act and declare martial law.
Centralists: BuT bOtH sIdEs!!!
As someone who was centrist: you can't be centrist when one person is motivated by spite to tear it down. You aren't a centrist anymore. You're an accessory.
“Literally can’t tell them apart.”

His SAVE program for Student Loans is fucking incredible. It dropped a crippling payment down to $32 a month. He may be old, but that has really helped me. I support him completely.
Yeah but why couldn't have Biden done that already!?!?!?! Guess I gotta vote 3rd party now to show how strong my moral character is so I can pat myself on the back as the world burns fake tan orange around me.
Dangling the carrot of civil rights in front of minorities just so he can get reelected.. it's sad, but it is what it is.
Unfortunately, the choice we have is between the false flag of that dangling carrot and the open derision of someone calling us ‘vermin’ and thinks we need to be eradicated.
It's almost like shit has to go through Congress to become a law.
If people VOTE it very well may happen. Biden has surprised a whole lot of people so far. Look at the student loan forgiveness - it is happening IN SPITE of the Republicans.
It's not like the other guy is going to be better for their civil rights. I'd rather have the guy who doesn't keep his promises over the guy who wants me shot in the street for existing.
Pro-tip for more votes: Say "cease fire"
I see this as proof that we don't really live in a democracy. Most people are anti-genocide but a politician asking for a ceasefire is a fringe position. Most people want a higher minimum wage, but it's considered a fringe position in Washington. Most people want universal healthcare, but it's considered a fringe position.
Biden clearly doesn't give a shit about winning the next election.
Obama and Biden chained the Green Party candidate to chair for simply wanting to debate with the other two parties
Biden made cannabis a campaign promise and he walked back right at the start of his presidency
Harris laughed about having consumed cannabis in college while discussing her cannabis arrests
if Trump vs Biden is all we got left we are truly fucked
Newsflash: you're fucked
Dude needs to promise to legalize weed at the federal level to make up for his past bullshit. That would probably get folks out to vote. Imma vote for the old geezer anyway because I don't want to live though Trump being president again. If Trump gets office again, he'll likely never leave.
