No bitch, that's a whole new sentence

Go back to reddit then 😡
literally ~~any social media~~ real life
Anyone to the left of the DNC leadership: constructively criticizes Joe Biden
Biden stans: You love Trump, don't you?
On the other side of this, what I find really common is anyone who acknowledges the reality of how the US voting structure works is seen as a Biden Stan
"Hey maybe we should just elect the most popular candidate instead of potentially not electing the most popular candidate"
"HAHA LOOK AT THE LIBTARD"
First of all: least unpopular. Neither of them are very popular and most people would prefer that neither of them were amongst the two options.
Second, valid criticism ≠ voting against, not voting or telling anyone to do either.
Nothing wrong about acknowledging the reality of the system being a broken dichotomy, of course.
I'm talking about the people who shut down all valid criticism with the "but Trump is worse" whataboutism or "stop giving Trump ammunition" as if anyone sane didn't already know Trump is awful and as if the Mango Mussolini wouldn't just make shit up regardless..
That's completely fair critism is a healthy part of democracy.
If you think voting the DNC will fix anything YOU don't understand how the US voting structure works
I don't think that.
What do YOU think will work?
Eating won't fix cancer, so don't bother.
My guy: sometimes you do things to prevent new problems. Making nothing better still beats making everything worse.

That's because it's a common argument of Biden stans. It's pretty telling that they can't think of anything good to say about their candidate, so instead it's this stuff.
There's a lot of good and bad.
Bad - Supporting Israel financially, forcing the rail workers back to work from their strike, his environmental policies seem half hearted.
Good - Forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, having his cabinet work with the DEA at reclassifing weed while promoting the idea publically, putting billions into Urban reconstruction to help cities become less dependent on roads and more accessible for the least fortunate.
It's more nuanced than he's great or awful. He's just better. As it often ends up coming to in American politics.
As an aside I long for multi choice voting.

Sorry, but no. Lemmy is an echo chamber. If one server likes pancakes and another server likes waffles, they'll just defederate.
Modern debate literally anywhere:
'So you think [some made-up bullshit]?' 'Fuck off.' And then a mod comes in and goes 'How dare you be rude to that smug liar.'
When the correct moderator action is often 'Yeah, fuck off.'
I like trains
OH SO YOU HATE AIRPLANES????
actually yes i love trains and hate airplanes at almost every facet of the comparison, thank you for noticing
Me: maybe consider your ability to love a child as part of your “can I afford a child” criteria.
Reddit: so it doesn’t matter if we can’t even afford to feed ourselves because “all you need is love”?
Me: b1tch that’s a whole other sentence

Is it the only place if this same thing is posted on every social media platform in existence with the name of that platform edited in?

Two days ago, I wouldn't have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations...
They do it on purpose.
What's wrong with having some purpose in your life? Jeezez some people are so judgemental. smh ffs asdf

What does OP have against breakfast foods?

But why do you hate waffles?
Yeah, it’s gotten so bad that I don’t feel like posting here anymore. Honestly may leave
Agree, depressing what gets upvoted - seems like any attempt to have a conversation other than 100% agreement is met with extreme hostility.
