Image description: An image macro with two panels. In the first a bunny labeled “BIDEN” is holding a clipboard while looking up to an older woman labeled “VOTER.” In the second panel, the bunny is saying “would you like to keep Trump out of the white house” and it becomes clear that the clipboard, which is obscured from the vision of the older woman, contains the to-do list for an evil plan

The entirety of the Biden campaign seems to hinge on the hope that more people dislike whoever the Republican candidate is. Considering that Biden has higher disapproval numbers than Trump ever had (https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1231a2IntotheElection-.pdf). The bigger question honestly is why anyone accepts this, literally any Generic Republican could beat Biden and any Generic Democrat could beat Trump (https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read/biden-trump-both-underperform-generic-opponents-poll-finds-rcna126098). This is where I expect to lose people, but at least Trump is being forced on us by the citizens (look at Iowa), Biden is literally being forced by what could be classified as the establishment, the same people who took Bernie from us. The worst part for me honestly is knowing that I get looked at as crazy for being willing to endorse anybody but these two, like if you don’t pick between the geriatric men who both have histories of being racist sexist creeps (you can argue one was worse, but still doesn’t change history) you are the one who is insane.

I agree and I have to think it’s because (white) (straight) (hetero) (cis) (male) (old enough to die before “death by climate” overtakes “death by natural causes” in volume) people are comfortable with the establishment since it keeps the environment where they live relatively static and doesn’t change their lives too much.

Biden stands for the people who pay him to keep things as they are right now (which fucking sucks) and Trump stands for the people who want a theocracy with Trump as the theocrat.

Both options are fucking awful
