The things that are happening right now are happening under biden though... why do you think it would get better when he has initiated the worsening?

I guess I should clarify that I'm not naive enough to think that this all started under Biden because history has inertia. Biden, having been VP before president and a Senator for many years before that certainly had an outsized contribution to the things that are happening now. The things that are in motion now are not going to be solved by Biden or Trump or really any of the entrenched political class in the west and pretending they are is just fooling yourself. They are too ideologically poisoned and are busy self destructing.

Show these people a picture of border patrol on horseback whipping black migrants and 99% they'll tell you it was under trump

There's no way to hold their beliefs without being divorced from reality

This is potentially one of the greatest exaggerations of all time.

Please explore places other than your little conservative bubble, you might actually find the real world out there somewhere.

No no no, Hexbear isn't pretending to be conservatives, they're pretending to be communists.

Pretending to be communists, but sure repeating a lot of conservative propaganda

They'll repeat any propaganda that divides the Kremlin's adversaries.

The choice ultimately comes down to Trump or Biden, it's not a great set of choices, but RFK Jr isn't any better than those two and he's not going to get enough votes to win anyway. Jill Stein, Marianne Williamson, Cornel West, don't have the numbers either. There aren't viable candidates that can challenge the front runners at this point when we talk about the POTUS, so you vote for the least harm and try again next time while focusing on pushing Congress, state and local representatives further left.

You sure as shit don't have the numbers for a revolution either.
