    People aren’t your serfs who have a duty to vote for your god-emperor.

    Want votes? Do better policies, simple as that

      Mate, politics is about compromises. You will never have an ideal candidate. And if you choose not to support the lesser evil, you are basically supporting the bigger evil.

      What are your expectations? Biden has implemented far more policy than he gets credit for. He can’t fix everything all at once. It has taken us decades to get where we are, one presidential term is not going to be enough to right the ship.

      We all have to work within the framework as it exists today - even the president. He has some challenging lines to walk just to get seemingly simple things done.

      So what policies do you want? And in what ways have Biden’s progress been unacceptable to you? In what ways have they been acceptable? Given the current landscape, what do you realistically think he could or should do differently?

        Well, not exactly, the POTUS position gobbled up power both right at WW II and right at 9/11. The US’s semi-democratic system is wide open to power grab and corruption. Nobody ever uses the fucking thing to do any good, tho

        So what policies do you want?

        Literally just stop the support to Israel and you win the election
