An independent voter explains why they chose a moronic, oligarcho-fascist demagogue over Joe Biden (c. November 2020) [Day 58]

Good! We want boring. I don't want to look at our government every other day and think this is the day we are going to die. Or loved ones. Or stupid fucking decisions that have nothing to do with the voters. We long for boring.

I remember tuning into the morning news every morning during his first presidency to make sure the US hadn't imploded overnight. There was always some new shocking shit every time. This week has been no different.

Speaking of 2020, remember when democrats worked hard to pour all their support behind Biden over Bernie? What was the explanation for that?

More like: He’s so…old

Trump is 3 years younger and plainly aging worse than Biden.
- I wouldn’t say that at all. It’s hard to tell because of trumps make up but Biden looks like absolute dog shit. His final months in office he looked like a strong wind will blow him over and break both of his legs.
  
  Both men look their age but Biden was clearly the older of the two and had no business running for a second term. Whether he was healthier or not is irrelevant.

- Imagine being the pro genocide candidate and your opponents voter base votes for you to stop the genocide 🤡

"I think politics should always be entertaining. Then I get annoyed that politicians are always drawing attention to themselves and there's always drama. I cannot even visualize living life any other way. I find myself to be very intelligent! And pure. I find myself to be very intelligent and pure. At the center of the universe! I mean... I turn around, I see the horizon always at the same distance... I must be at the center of the universe. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I find myself to be very intelligent, and pure, and at the center of the universe."

Like choosing to eat uranium because cancer treatment would give you something to do after work.

What is this meme template from

It's not a template, they're going through lines in The Room.

We truly live in Oktavias universe. Except at least there they only elected the faschist once.

I can’t tell the difference between red and blue genocide.

Just be glad you get multiple flavors to support you genocidal fuckwit.
Blue opposes in words, but aids by supplying weapons while saying they can only be used for defense against other countries but not enforcing that restriction.

Red says fuck the Palestinians, genocide is fine.
- There's also the implication that Blue does have a line, somewhere. Probably related to polling numbers.
Blue is only ok with 1 external genocide and there was a possibility of pressuring Blue to be a decent human. Red is starting an internal genocide while supporting 2+ external genocides. Red would start another genocide just to be contrarian. With no other options less genocide is a fairly simple choice over more genocide. Not choosing less genocide allows more genocide. Congrats the blood is up to your knees and rising instead of just your ankles.
Well, we can't make you see the difference if you don't want to.
- Of course there’s a difference if you really get into it, but much like the two main parties here, I don’t see the point.
Exactly. In my experience it works like this:

Blue maga folks make a post bitching again about left-wing voters staying home - precisely what those left wing voters explicitly and repeatedly warned the centrist dems they would do if Biden didn't stop weapons shipments to Israel.

In that post, blue maga folks will say, "well, for some reason all the leftists who spoke against Biden have mysteriously disappeared. We never hear from them again. I guess they were all just Russian plants."

In the comments, they receive numerous comments from leftists who didn't vote for Kalama, or in my case, someone who did vote for Kamala, but still fully understands why people didn't vote for her.

Blue maga downvotes the Hell out of the leftist post instead of engaging in good faith. They downvote until their posts cannot be seen anymore.

Blue maga goes on pretending that the anti-genocide leftists have all just mysteriously disappeared.
- Leftists don't let Nazis get into power, even if it means dealing with corporatists some more years.
  
  You're not a leftist. You did nothing to avoid the farthest of the right-wing from gaining possibly absolute power. You did nothing to keep things leftward, or even center right - you just allowed the fascists to take over without a struggle.
  
  You're not the resistance, you're not a helper, you're not leftist; you're nothing.

- Don't forget: 4.5. Leftists get moderated for saying Biden supported genocide (with the reason given for the moderation being "misinformation") and receive a ban.
