    Democrats know all they have to do is say the right things and people will keep voting.

    Biden has no intention of doing anything meaningful on inflation.

        Neither of the choices you’d vote for are viable either, unless all you care about is war spending.

        I will be voting third party.

          Today on Lemmy, which is dumber?

          -Distilling an entire presidency to what happens in proxy wars (the RU one admittedly being an amazing deal for the US against a long term adversary).

          -Voting third party in '20/'24

            You chickenhawks say the same things about every war. I remember 2003 when Iraq was going to last six months and cost 30 billion. “Mission Accomplished”. Back then you told us it was a bargain because Saddam had uranium.

            Voting third party in '20/'24

            What’s dumb is seeing 40 years of conservative outcomes and the progression of fascism under a Democratic president and then telling us to do more of it.

              I don’t remember this, care to provide some justification? The way I remember it is that Americans were tricked into being afraid of Saddam and his WMD and it was sold as a preemptive move to a bunch of people still reeling after the 9/11 attacks.

              Russia is actually a major adversary, this is not secret. They are also acting like aggressive imperialists. I would be hesitant to get boots on the ground, but helping Ukraine defend itself is both a win for us, and the right thing to do.

              I don’t see how they’re really comparable.

                Holy shit I’ve argued with you a few times, this comment is actually something I can totally agree on.

          Which one are you voting for?

          I’d like to find a viable 3rd party candidate that can win the presidential election and disrupt the 2 party system we currently have.
