    Nobody even brought up Trump, but you.

    That is what is so infuriating to me is that nobody is allowed to criticize Biden at all without Trump being brought up.

      It’s an election year, Biden being brought up will invoke his competitions name. And people are absolutely using just this topic as a reason to not vote this cycle. They only hurt themselves and everyone else.

        You act like Biden can literally not capitulate on this. Why does the voice of the voter no longer matter?

        I dont like this trend of demanding votes without having to earn voters. We are creating a culture of zero accountability to the voters.

      Yeah, because its unfortunately a choice between those two at this point. Until Biden is re-elected, it will be a constant reminder that its him or a fascist criminal that led an insurrection, even if a particular criticism is valid. This criticism is shit btw, antisemitism is happening and should be called out.

      I’d like to bring up - a switch in democratic systems of representatives to on called “Open List Proportional Representation” where parties are represented in a proportional mix per the votes they actually won.

      Germany, Scotland, and Japan use such systems. I think it’s a better system but it will probably take a loaded Supreme court and a concerted effort to get through.
