Why is Biden only running in Biden? He should be running in Harris, Haaland, Buttigieg, Regan, Murthy, and all the rest of the people who come with him. And he’s not just running against Trump, but against Miller, Bannon, Kushner, Bolton, Kid Rock and Nazi ghouls who come with him. Message better.

What will it take to get the same intensity and fervor of coverage of Trump's own cognitive lapses, general idiocy ("we had H2O") and Project 2025?

I suspect you know better than I do, but dogs in Asia are often killed in unimaginably inhumanely cruel ways for their meat. I think people'd have the same reaction if that picture had been taken in any Western country as well.

Yes, if you don’t like the choice between Trump and Biden, think of it as picking between Stephen Miller and Pete Buttigieg, Steve Bannon and Deb Haaland, Michael Flynn and Lina M. Khan, Alex Jones and Jessica Rosenworcel, or Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both sides are not “the same”

I don't doubt Trump tried to take credit at the time, but we're talking about the article - the author is directly associating "Trump" with the market's performance

It's telling the author phrased it the way he did though. You might not like either side but one is definitely more fascist than the other.

Yes - criticize and pressure Biden to do more to fight back against that! But don't put the guys who are literally promising to actually build the camps and imprison women into power!

Because Trump will be worse. If you disagree then I think you're wrong but I understand why you wouldn't vote for Biden.

"what if" is literally fucking irrelevant. There's probably a lot Biden could've done. Stipulated. But we're in the situation we're in and the question is who will be better going forward. That's it.

You know I don't know when it will stop. But that's not the relevant question, which is "Who - Biden or Trump, you have to pick one of these two - is more likely to have a better effect?"

It's horrible. It's a catastrophe. And it'll be/get worse if Trump wins than if Biden wins. And one of them will win.

Showing up (voting) is the only way we can change anything. Not voting means your voice is completely ignored and the status quo continues (or gets worse)

This goes back to my original point: voting for Biden is not "supporting" him. It means nothing more than he's the better of the two people of whom one will be the next President. Nothing more.

He appears to be doing something but not enough to stop what's going on. Trump would actually encourage it.

I know it's no comfort to them at all. If those loved ones think Trump will be better for their cause then I understand their voting for him. But i think he will be worse.

I think 3rd party makes a lot of sense starting at local and state levels and building from there. Starting at the Presidential level isn't realistic.

I actually agree. But we have to reckon with the fact either Biden or Trump will be the next President even though we probably both believe many other people would be better. Trump will be far, far, far worse for the planet.

Things can always be worse. Biden isn't suggesting building concentration camps on US soil or trying to throw women in jail for getting medical care.

Because again: either Biden or Trump, nobody else, will be President. Vote 3rd party for local and state elections where there's an actual opportunity to make a difference building a national movement.

Don't most arguments hinge on "I think"? But sure if you believe Trump would be better for the Palestinian cause then by all means support him. But IMO he'd be worse.
