That’s like, actually a beautiful view though. The actual view is more like:

That shouldn’t even be a question, that’s like, the easy compromise option where you don’t even have to actually fix any of the societal ills caused by slavery.

The “bike riding elite” is a real group of people but it’s like 15 guys that live in the most expensive part of San Francisco. They aren’t in DC.

Also if you refer to DC as just “Washington” in your writing I fucking hate you and you shouldn’t be a journalist, no one refers to it that way, Washington is a different thing, call it DC like a normal person. “The residential neighborhoods of Washington” bro how many cyclists could possibly be bothering you in Spokane? Wait “east coast city”? Oh you meant a completely different place from Washington.

Two young men were found dead inside torched cars

Ah yes, a very normal and non-suspicious death that happens normally

The difference is when Trump said we don’t need masks, or that we don’t need to quarantine as much, or to test less people, everyone who wasn’t one of his freaks was furious. When Biden does the exact same things the liberals go “Yay COVID’s over 🙂” and the Trump freaks continue complaining about the “lockdowns” that hardly existed and ended years ago

I mean, good?

I’m 50/50 on whether he’d pull out of Afghanistan

My man what are you talking about, Trump was the one who decided we were pulling out of Afghanistan and set a date, which Biden pushed back. I don’t think Biden would’ve left Afghanistan if Trump hadn’t already agreed to

Many people are saying this

Parking restrictions are lifted at the college I work at so here I am thinking I can drive my ass to work, only to find a fucking barricade and a woman wanting parking passes for move-in.

Silly of me to think parking being lifted would mean I could park my fucking car somewhere

More people died from covid in the same period of time after Biden took office compared to Trump before. Biden lifted the mask requirement on transit. Biden ended the public health emergency. Biden allowed Medicaid to kick people off again, and SNAP and unemployment to reduce payments again. Biden ended free covid testing. Trump said “less tests = less covid”, Biden made it policy. Under Biden, it was decided that employers cannot be held liable for giving their employees covid. Under Biden, the government stopped tracking covid cases in the same way, leading to more spread and worse information.

Biden declared the pandemic is over, when it is not.

Fair point, I should say the party line democrats claim to have.

Oh my god, can you imagine if it was Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney holding things up? Trump would’ve had them killed if McConnell didn’t do it first. But the republicans don’t have that problem because they actually keep their members on the party line where it matters

Surely! Here’s a small and incomplete list of things he could do, at varying levels of usefulness and ease:

An executive order legalizing abortion nationwide

Pack the Supreme Court

Move the Supreme Court justices to lower courts and replacing them

Simply ignore the Supreme Court, as several presidents have done in the past (Andrew Jackson being the most notable)

Get his fucking party in order and pass a law legalizing abortion back when he had the majority in both the house and senate

Open abortion clinics on federal land nationwide, claiming new land to do it on if there’s none available in a needed location

Threaten to drone strike Clarence Thomas

Withhold highway funds from states that ban abortion

An executive order declaring banning abortion a felony, and then arresting every politician who implemented a ban

Call for a general strike until abortion rights are re-established

Personally sanction governors of states that ban abortion, freeze their bank accounts, seize their companies, all the shit we do to foreign leaders we don’t like

Call for people in states that ban abortion to burn down their state capitols

Joe Biden is the President of the United States of America, the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. He’s not a powerless smol bean. If he actually wants something to happen, there’s a long list of ways to go about it. If something does or doesn’t happen under his watch, that is his responsibility.

Plus $20k for my student loans

Roe v Wade was overturned under the Biden administration, idk if you missed that.

You’re right, Trump’s half-measures on covid were much better than Biden’s no-measures.

Edit: I think I missed a key word in your comment and thought you were genuinely saying voting for the lesser evil is good, my bad

Biden has been demonstrably, measurably worse on covid than Trump. If I had to vote for one of them today, and I was going to do it based solely on “who is going to get less people killed?” I would vote for Trump, and that’s fucking horrifying.

The bar was buried 6 feet underground along with hundreds of thousands of people dead from covid, and Biden still didn’t clear it.

Again? Jfc. I’m glad I’m not on ADHD meds anymore, but I don’t love thinking about what’ll happen if there’s a shortage of Wellbutrin

Honestly though the FDA is way too strict on the things they need to be less strict on and not nearly strict enough where they should be. They should’ve approved some of these ingredients 15+ years ago.

Shit I need to get some imported sunscreen
