I think Biden is generally doing ok. He’s obviously not exciting or inspiring and he’s probably not handling the Israel/Palestine situation very well (though that whole situation is pretty fucked regardless and I’m not picking sides), but he’s getting a decent amount of stuff done. I wish we had a better democratic candidate and I wish there was a republican candidate who wasn’t a complete nut job. I also wish there were more than 2 viable parties and we had ranked choice voting, but here we are.
If there was a better option than “guy who weakly calls for a ceasefire” I’d love to hear it. The only other viable side is all but verbally calling for a total genocide of Palestinians in Gaza if not beyond
Well that’s just wrong.
Russia genocide = bad Biden genocide = bad
There you go.
Does the republican party like Russia?
I feel like the reps and tankies equally hate Biden.
Nobody gives a fuck about tankies.
I believe the implication is that these people are part of a psy-op from Russia. It was a common theme of online discourse during Trump’s presidency, with some decent factual evidence to back it up iirc. Many pro trump accounts on Twitter were suspected of being operatives, or even just bots, for example.
It’s kinda stale as a reference, but there is still a significant chance that these kinds of accounts still exist and engage in spreading disinfo.
In general, yes. Authoritarianism is usually a sign of desire for a strong man, any strong man. They might not want to directly support Russia, but they like/respect Putin.
I dislike the Russians just as much as Biden. Biden is just the one “in charge” of the country I’m in.
What do you have against Russians? I mean Putin got a few screws lose but otherwise they are alright
Fuck Trump, fuck Biden, and fuck Putin. They all fucking suck.

Fuck Biden and fuck Putin.
(Even though I did vote for Biden in 2020 and plan to again in 2024 if he’s the Democratic nominee.)
Notice that people who say Biden is ok are quiet about the Gaza genocide
Biden is a massive step up from Trump and honestly exceeding my admittedly low expectations, but he really dropped the ball with Israel.
Like I’ve said in other threads, I agree with you BUT people need to understand that Biden doesn’t have the political capital to stand up to Israel right now.
We’re on the brink of sliding back into Trump and who knows how fucked up we’re going to get, so he can’t be fighting another fire.
The US has always sucked Israel’s balls, so Biden is just not rocking the boat.
I know it sucks, but our shitty political system and the fact that the half the population has brain damage means, he has to tread very very carefully.
If he blows his little wad on Israel and Trump wins because of it, EVERYONE will be fucked around the world, including Palestine.
I know we all wish Biden could be the shining liberal giga Chad we want, but US politics allows only so much at a time. Hell, I think he’s done more than I would have hoped for and still part of his base is shitting on him for not doing enough…
That was an excellent comment.
I hate Biden.
Russia is a horrible place for LGBT people and general dissenters. The draft and war has been disastrous for the economy. Russia having any clout internationally is mind boggling.
I hate Biden.
Wait are some people actually pro biden? People like him?
I do. No surprise billing, the omnibus bill, irs actually doing taxes, interest from student loan can’t go above original principal along with payments based on income along with forgiveness after 20 years. I can’t point to a president that has gotten more done that effect be personally in a beneficial way in my lifetime.
I’m not sure that it’s a great measure of success when you need to put others down in order to look better yourself.
I’ll insult fascists until the day I die.
If true, that’ll likely ensure that you die sooner rather than later.
I’m sorry, did you just threaten me?
Why, were you calling me a fascist? I thought you were talking about Putin.
So you were intending to imply that Vladimir Putin is going to personally murder me for insulting him? Help me out here, walk me through your thought process on this one.
No, I was trying to point out that you’re likely just going to call random people whose opinions you don’t like fascists and insult them instead, because insulting actual fascists is dangerous.
Oh, I’ll gladly die fighting fascists. Not everyone in the world is a coward.

What about those of us who think both equally as bad?
One of them is currently enabling the genocide of Palestinians. I’m not American though.
