      Nobody is saying the captain needs to be replaced, we’re saying stop sailing directly towards those fucking rocks. No matter how hard we paddle, Biden cannot win the muslim votes he needs if he is facilitating genocide of muslims. He will not get the young votes he needs if he bans tiktok after restarting student loans.

      Nothing we can do can change this. Only Biden can.

          What I don’t hear are realistic solutions to the problems

          Stop sending Israel the tools to carry out genocide. Problem solved. This is the only way you can make a credible argument to muslims that trump would be worse, because you are no longer facilitating a literal genocide.

          Forgive all student loans. Yes, this is realistic, the Department of Education studied the problem and said so. Problem solved. Dare republicans to undo it. This is the only way you can make a can make a credible argument to young people that you actually want this thing and if they don’t vote for you, republicans will make it worse. You can’t credibly make that argument when you’re the one who restarted loan payments and you’ve only undone a tiny portion of the harm that caused via forgiveness.

          Order military hospitals to provide abortion care and free contraceptives. You’re the commander in chief, you can do that.

          Order the military to destroy the child drowning fence along the rio. Again, commander in chief.

          You act like TikTok isn’t a mouthpiece for the CCP

          It’s not, they spent a lot of money setting up servers in the US and getting former spooks in charge of US operations in 2020.

          But that’s irrelevant, tiktok is popular. Banning a popular thing in an election year is a dogshit strategy to get reelected.

          Well, instead of saying that, maybe you should be saying, “If you think Biden is bad, wait until the great orange dictator takes office. He already has family talking about flipping Gaza real estate.”

          You have learned nothing from 2016, and are bound to repeat it.

          Actions speak infinitely louder than words, this isn’t a problem messaging can solve.
