    And Germany didn’t instantly and irreparably collapse into a dystopian hellscape?

    I’m starting to think that the rationale for breaking the rail strike in the US might have been bullshit.

        You get how those can both be true right?

        A less pro-union or anti-union president would’ve also broke the railroad strike – and the UAW strike and whatever other stirke. You let perfection be the enemy of progress. You for some reason expect a Democrat to be a leftist and are upset when they’re not. The other guy is even more not leftist.

            In a two person/two party race a comment denigrating one candidate effectively promotes the other (this is math, not my opinion).

            Like, what was admiralshat’s purpose in making that comment? To make liberals look bad? Who does that benefit? Republicans, even though nobody mentioned them.

            It it was a meaningless comment, it’s a real dangerous type of comment to make as we’re about to slide into fascism.

              The purpose of that comment is to criticize comment. It is true, less support for biden means less chances of him winning against trump. That is not an endorsement of trump. Refusing both candidates is as much a support for trump as it is support for biden.

              I may slightly prefer biden, but I’m still going to criticize him. I will not let the two party system hold my opinions hostage, and scare me with the other side.
