Hitler is in Russia currently trying to take the largest country in Europe, and biden's opponent wants to help him. I'm not the biggest Biden fan, but unfortunately, there is no better alternative. Your best bet is 2028. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was told 2024 was our best bet?

Wait no, I was told 2020 was our best bet?

No, no, no, but I was told that 2016 was certainly our best bet?

Wait I think 2012 was our best bet?

Maybe I should vote for the lesser of 2-Evils in 2032 as well?

After all, when the USA is the king rat on its pile of garbage, at least the leopards of the 1%/uniparty won't eat my face.

Yeah... It's incredibly sad. Sorry I don't have better news, but it's the reality like it is not. This year, and only this year, we are stuck with Biden. The alternative has no business running a pizza shop, let alone the country. If Republicans were grounded in reality, they'd be capable of siphoning the votes of more people with critical thinking skills, but that's not the case, is it?

I'm all ears if you have a better solution, but right now, the best you can do is make sure to vote in (and organize for) the primaries for 2028. The primaries the only place you get away from the "lesser of 2 evils." The only solution I have is to plan mass protests if DNC tries to push out another progressive candidate... in 2028.

I wish I was wrong.

Right so... You don't have a better solution.

Kinda making this sound like a "my" problem my guy. I'm not the one apparently clamoring for votes to maintain order in an apartheid state.

The DNC can pick somebody else :)

Well, you seem to be implying there was another option, and frankly, my idea is far from ideal.

Putin is not currently aiding in a genocide. Biden is. Biden is therefore worse than Putin. This is not remotely debatable. Say what you will of Russias war, it isn't a genocide, and therefore isn't as bad as US support of Israel.

"there is no Ukrainian nation, they are a subgroup of the russian people" combined with forced adoption of Ukrainian children definitely isn't genocidal at all /s

I don't disagree that Biden's unconditional support of Israel is appalling, and will go down in history as the greatest failure of his presidency.

But Russia's war is (a) straight up genocidal as well and (b) being directly conducted by Russia on Putin's behalf itself

Putin isn't aiding a genocide, he's committing it

Saying that Ukrainians are russian is not remotely the same as what israel is doing. War is not the same as genocide. Putin intends to treat Crimeans the same as Russians. Israel is openly stating that Gazans are animals. Not sure what you mean about forced adoption, they obviously are not taking people's kids away from them. Calling the war in Ukraine a genocide is simply removing the meaning from the word.
