I mean, they are blue conservatives. American politics are horribly skewed to the right, so your options are between conservative-lites and literally Nazis lol y'all are fucked.
Anyone else is unelectable, according to... my "Shadow, Inc" Iowa Caucus App projections.
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.
The argument that Biden is worse on covid than Trump has the built-in assumption that Trump would have done more about it in its second year and beyond than Biden did. That's honestly a ridiculous assumption. There was always an expiration date on covid mitigation measures and it was always soon. It's not like Trump would have had any more incentive than Biden to demonstrate his pandemic management skills after the election, he would have been out there declaring victory over Covid just the same.
They literally just ignored the problem and pretend its not there
Also found out you aren't allowed to strike if you work for railroads
I’m not keen on defending democrats, but there would absolutely be a federal abortion ban right now if Trump had been re-elected.
Our government is in extremely bad shape, one federal election isn’t going to fix it.
Roe v Wade was overturned under the Biden administration, idk if you missed that.
Yeah because we should totally trust that the guy who spent 99% of his career opposing reproduction rights just couldn't do anything to stop the supreme court from overturning Roe
Yeah, seems like Biden just let it happen because even if his position changed publicly for the 2020 election, what he believes behind closed doors never changed
I get the impression no one in the senior dems actually cared about abortion. Pelosi saying it wasn't important, multiple failures to pass legislation. The unforgivable acceptance of fash scotus' lies when they said they weren't going to overthrow roe. They've never done anything to protect abortion on the national level, and the simplest explanation is they don't give a shit.
Oh yeah, %
I still remember picking an anti choice VP in 2016
The Dem strategy on abortion was always to campaign and fundraise and do nothing material.
Its still their strategy, but it was their strategy, too.

There will be a federal abortion ban in another few years, half a dozen Dem Senators will vote for it, and if you suggest they should be recalled or primaried out then you'll actually be on the side of the Republicans.
Doing an insanely small amount better than the other slave master is not a good thing. "They stabbed me five times, but the other guy would've stabbed me seven!".
Sure, please vote for five-times-stabber instead of ol' seven-timeser, but by gods neither are worth defending in any sense.
Depressing how this comes back here every few years like the ongoing history of american politics doesnt spell that out. It's like people spent 7 years forgetting everything we talked about last time
well, it's either the guy who's terrible or the guy who will adopt the terribls guy's policies in 7 years
