    It’s coming from a place of privilege to think we can wait until then. It’s coming from a position in which you can stand back and look at everything through the lens of a campaign rather than being deeply hurt by his policies. People in the border camps need to be freed NOW. We need to give the land back NOW. Israel needs to stop committing genocide NOW.

    I’m sorry if it causes you “constant stress” to think about this. I’m sure other people’s pain and suffering is so hard for you to bear, but we need to talk about this. We need to somehow stop Biden and his party from continuing to support and bolster these atrocities.

          “My world view is defined by my limited personal experience” is the most right wing thing I’ve ever heard. If we’re going around judging a person’s entire life on single statements.

            You know what else is a right-wing thing? Completely misrepresenting someone’s words. I didn’t say what you quoted, nor did I allude to it.

            Thinking we’re supposed to be satisfied with a right-wing neoliberal president who open supports and bolsters genocidal and colonial practices because there is worse opposition, or treating humans like pawns in some sick tactical election game while people suffer under Biden’s leadership-- these are objectively damaging and privileged positions to take.

            If your response to someone criticizing the president for his genocidal practices is to become defensive and say “tEh RePuBlIcAnS aRe WoRsE!!!1!!” then you’ve got a fucking problem.

            Edit: Besides, the Democrats are a right-wing party

        Here’s another thing you do that really pushes people away: No one said a damn thing about voting Trump, or DeSantis, or anyone else.

        In fact, I don’t think I even mentioned voting at all.

        Who’s president right now? Let’s talk about him. We need to be able to demand he cease his genocidal actions without having people like you constantly deflecting criticism with this pointless whataboutism. It’s as pointless as it is exhausting.
