Well, if you ignore the bad things that someone does, then I can see how this can be confusing. I participate in US news discussions all the time, that’s how I know that Biden is a terrible person, who did terrible things.
If you want to be less confused, I’d recommend that you do the same.
Not really, no. Like I said, they were very similar.
And I don’t understand how you can see them do the above listed things, and claim that there is an “enormous gulf between the two primary options”. Yes, there are minor differences, but to say there is an “enormous gulf”, serously downplays how evil and monsterous Biden was.
Liberals refusing to see how evil and monsterous their politicians are, is one of the reasons that other monsters like Trump keep getting elected.
Different doesn’t mean Biden was good, just that he was so much better than the alternative.
“so much better” is where we disagree. The dude was a monster.
Did his administration blow up ships in international waters with no approval?
Not that I know of. But he sure did that to innocent people on land.
Deport citizens arrested by ICE to third-world countries with no trial and refuse to bring them back?
Yes
Dismantle USAID, killing multiple thousands of people?
Nope, but he forced people back to dangerous offices, killing thousands. He backed a genocide, killing multiple thousands. Bombed the hell out of who-knows-how many people. I don’t really care what tool someone used to kill others, I care that they killed others.
Remove protections from federal land and allow nature to be destroyed? Arrest citizens for using privacy features on their phones? Violate the first-amendment rights of national television broadcasters?
Yes
Let goons run around with full illegal access to every government database?
Yes
Deny healthcare to women based on their marital status?
No, but he sat back and did nothing when that happened, and had the full power to help them.
Beat and jail people protesting ICE raids?
Yes
Lie, cheat, scam, rape, steal, corrupt, and otherwise destroy anything they get their hands on?
Yes
I could go on, but it’s clear that you are ignoring my point: We were talking about “meaningfully different results”. Just because Biden didn’t do the exact same things as Trump doens’t mean that Biden gave us “meaningfully different results”.
I think you are starting off with an incorrect premise: In the US, the role of the cops is not to keep people, or society safe. It often also has very little to due with “the law”.
The role is to keep the rich and powerful, rich and powerful. They are meant to oppress people, and keep the slave-machine running. Cops shooting people, stealing from them, escalating situations, and not knowing the law is the intended situation.
In that sense, the cops are doing their job to great effect, and don’t need any more training.

Thanks, that’s helpful. Feel free to PM me that link. And feel free to share more! I love trying new things, so I’m totally down to try a bunch of different solutions.
It’s been quite a journey for me, and it’s been kind of frustrating that there’s no go-to solution, because everyone has to find what that works for them. But I’ve been feeling a lot better since I started paying more attention, and I hope the same for you!
Which high-sodium electrolyte mixes and salt-pills do you use? I’ve got similar health issues, and have been looking for good drinks, but a lot of them have high-ish potassium rates, which I’m trying to avoid.

Literally uses a political compass
I don’t actually use the political compass
Why don’t you look up how many people Biden and Obama deported, and sent to torture prisons, without trial. Biden increased childhood hunger. Biden killed millions of kids with bombs, drones, and policies. Remember when the pandemic was still raging, and he took away everyone’s benefits, and didn’t provide even close to the meager stimulus checks that Trump did? That killed a lot of people, who were forced back into unsafe work conditions.
How can you compare anyone to Kamala, a person who has never held real power.
He’s the governor of California, so he does have real power. He also openely abandond his voters as soon as he was elected. He’s a zionist. He did photo-ops while destroying people’s homes.
…I can say with certainty: millions of lives a year throughout the world would be saved if Newsome was president instead of Trump.
Where’s the evidence of this? All evidence points to Newsome gleefully operating the orphan-crushing machine, just like Biden and Obama did.
What meaningfully different results? Biden fast tracked money for the border wall. Stole from the working class to give handouts to his rich friends. Increased ICE, Police, Pentagon, and war funding. Deported immigrants, and sent them to torture prisons.
The Democrats were blowing up kids in syria. They were supporting genocide. They did more deportations than Trump’s first term. Lets look at the treaties and deals that they made: Dictators, Slave-Owners, Racists, Genocidists.
Wow, what “meaningfully different results”.
Totally. I was just expanding on what you were pointing out. We are in agreement :)
<Cut to me listening to my fundamental-religious, right-wing, sports-ball loving family, and trying not to explode>
No. In fact one of Trump’s campaign promises was that he wouldn’t start foreign wars, and it polled as highly popular. Anyone that wasn’t an idiot knew that was a lie, but at least he had the decency to lie about it. Democrats couldn’t even muster up that much courage.
Because the Democrats spend more time fighting leftists, then they do fighting the Republicans. Check out the recent DSA elections: Democrats spent a bunch of time and energy fighting against them.
Additionally, the Democrats fight tooth and nail to keep third parties off of the ballots. They also spend a bunch of effort saying that things like “not bombing kids” or “medicare for all” are unreasonable, or unrealistic, to keep people from thinking that 3rd parties are viable.
It has proven to be less effective at stopping the orphan crushing machine than voting for democrats.
Has it? Did the orphan crushing machine even slow down a little bit when democrats were in power? Because I’m pretty sure that it didn’t.
Guess what, both of these choices still kill people outside your country.
Don’t forget inside our country too!
Are you? Can you at least try to be a little articulate? Or is that beyond your obviously limited capabilities?
I’m not sure you do. You just referenced a document where you didn’t know half of what what going on under Biden.
