@freemo I can think of a few others... DeSantis and RFK Jr. are really bad too.
@LouisIngenthron They are pretty bad choices, no doubt. But like i said id take pretty much anything over Biden or Trump.
@freemo I'd take BIden over either of those. At least he's relatively predictable and is vocally supportive of democracy. That second one is my baseline requirement that the others fail to meet.
@LouisIngenthron I dont need predictability. Supporting democracy would be nice, wasnt aware we decided to make that a thing again :)
While I normally lean left there are three things Biden has done that I just dont think I can stand for:
1) He has been abusive in his stance on guns
2) He has flamed racial tensions and has an abusive history as a racist
3) He is fiscally irresponsible.
These are a bad time to have those qualities. My only comfort is the right-leaning SCOTUS which, while im not happy with the bigger picture at least they are able to put some checks on it. My hope is they will find a bunch of gun laws unconstitutional...
@freemo @LouisIngenthron There was also the jab that the previous presidency had seen. Both presidents supported the jab. The first real field test, protected against harm to individuals and shoved through the FDA.
I can understand the benefits of testing technology on the public but it didn't have to tank our economy.
Are you saying you are against the vaccine (really?), or just dont like it got emergency use first? Or dont like the shutdown of the economy.
The last two points I can agree with, but being against the COVID vaccine overall, especially now that it is not emergency use anymore, that one is hard to take seriously.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron I'm against Pfizer getting all the glory while Moderna has ADEPT or ADAPT. The marketing and the manipulation, I just saw pharma greed backed by the government.
Mandate AR-15 ownership. There's too much money being made to even try to fight back. Regardless of the origins of the virus, an airplane or a few introduced it to new populations. It's the exploitation of the public.
For our elected politicians, their actions were near treason. To be clear, I don't think the vaccine? is a conspiracy. Moderna did excellent work, DARPA chose wisely. The amount of corruption that was thinly veiled as being a public good was very concerning.
There's also the whole worldwide pandemic and world powers refusing to cooperate or share. The most difficult part of this pandemic had to be keeping a good pokerface while making a killing and being viewed as heroes.
@AmpBenzScientist @LouisIngenthron
Other than the bit about the AR-15 I agree with this.
@freemo @LouisIngenthron It's more about showing American progress and something actually made in the US. Cops would respect criminals and citizens would always be able to ask another for a magazine. Secretly adopting the Metric System and having a true standard, STANAG, used by everyone.
It sounds like Imagine but without the logical fallacies and shameless violations of their beliefs by relying on the Free Market.
