Biden's an awesome leader. I'm going to show up and vote for him even though my state will almost certainly go red in November, because I'm a patriot and Joe Biden has actually tried to improve my life, which is more than I can say for Trump, Obama, Bush, or most other presidents in my lifetime, and it's certainly more than I can say for every third party candidate with the sole exception of Ralph Nader (thanks for making my car safer, Ralph).
Joe Biden tried to forgive my student debt, he tried (and partially succeeded) to improve the company's crumbling infrastructure, he revived antitrust and labor, and he's been fighting to keep Russia from taking over Eastern Europe. Donald Trump told me to drink bleach. You don't have to like either of them, but pretending they're equally bad is either trolling, being willfully uninformed, or doing the propaganda work of a foreign adversary (knowingly or not).
You vote your conscience; it might not matter much, depending on where you live, or it might matter a whole lot. But reality should show you, like it does the rest of us, that the only possible outcomes of this presidential election are a second Biden presidency or a second Trump presidency. Anything you do will make one of those things more likely to happen, and you don't get to opt out by staying home or setting your ballot on fire in protest.
no one said that
The OP of the thread you are responding to did.
if that were true, you could link it.
Sure
that doesn't say they are the same
If you're being that literal, you're missing the point.
if you're making an accusation, you should be able to support it.
