      Only on a few curated topics are the voters actually allowed to vote. And these votes are between: “keep it as it is, or slide into more shittiness.” There usually isn’t an option for “improve on this metric” .

        No its only “slide into more shittiness” either way. The only choice is which lifestyle brand you prefer to watch

        Things have slid more into shittiness under Biden, so you’re wrong on that too

        Regardless of who is sitting in that chair the American empire will continue the killing. Your vote isn’t going to stop shit. I have lived through 9/11 in this shithole country and not one person was held accountable for their actions of the countless lives taken in Iraq.

        By raw body count, Trump is the lesser evil. Biden’s policies in Ukraine and Palestine have been catastrophic. I don’t really think Trump will be better but at least with Trump in power then the spineless democrats might actually oppose genocide at least in a performative way and that’s a better world than exists right now.

        I don’t understand how anyone can look themselves in the mirror and decide to endorse genocide by voting for it.

          The response to Palestine has been bipartisan, and I’d be willing to bet the sticking point for republicans on Ukraine war money has been more that they want to send more to Israel. Plus I have a hypothesis that republicans are more interested in attacking China than Russia and for the dems it’s the other way around (though both obviously want to do both). Plus the republicans can spin Ukraine as being the democrat’s doing so they’re not as attached to achieving victory. At least not until they’re in charge and have the opportunity to pitch themselves as the saviors in these conflicts, along with a change being a useful opportunity to move the goalposts for victory.
