I honestly thought critiquing the guy unilaterally funding genocide with taxpayer dollars would be a more popular take on here than the up/downvote ratio is showing.
I fully believe Trump is a bigger threat to democracy being the dumbfuck fascist he is, but I don’t see how I’m supposed to be excited about voting for a guy who’s clearly funded by lobbyists and in turn is paying for the country of Israel to murder innocent Palestinians, amongst other things like ignoring cries for debt relief and socialized medicine and codifying access to abortion
Preach! Biden also nullified the collective action of the union with the most sway in the flow of goods in the United States and forced a contract upon them. He never closed down those immigrant detention centers that were headline news for years under Trump. The two main parties work together, two hands, one with a velvet glove.

Nobody was “excited” about Biden in 2020 and nobody expects you to be excited now. But the alternative is a guy who will do all of those things you listed (he wouldn’t ignore calls to codify abortion access, he’d actively support a national ban) plus dismantle democracy in America and hand Ukraine over to Putin. Unfortunately our electoral system is a first past the post system that perpetuates this two party nightmare and our bizarre electoral college gives Trump an extra advantage.
Vote in the primaries. Vote for the winner who’s least fascist. Yell at them. A lot. Activism in the streets, calling your representative about pending legislation. Donations to organizing groups you agree with There are multiple stages of the process you can get involved with. 1 vote every 4 years is not enough
You have my updoot. I’m a leftist so I live in this Schrodingers Valley where I’m a useless stupid baby who exists only to be laughed at but simultaneously the #1 reason Republicans win.
I’m supposed to vote blue to avoid fascism as the blue pres sidesteps congress to fund fascism and the blue party tells the primary winner to eat a dick then goes to court to tell their voters to eat a dick.
Doesn’t sound like the antifascist freedom bastion for voters to me 🤷
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 (langerresearch.com/…/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 (nbcnews.com/…/biden-trump-both-underperform-gener…). 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.
Scolding Democrats and those left of center for being incredibly unhappy with Biden’s record is not my idea of democracy. Holding to the notion that Biden is less bad than Trump is not an ethical or constructive stance. It might be true in contexts, but it invalidates materialist concerns, chills functional platform changes, negates potential new candidate selections, and stunts policy shifts to the left. This is this year’s “electability” nonsense all over again. We move right through this type of political posturing.
The game is rigged. First past the post forces this kind of devil’s bargain, and if we ran an America simulation a thousand times you’d get bored of seeing it. Additionally, neither party’s leaders will ever have any motive to accept an alternative voting system at the national level. Unless you’re advocating accelerationism (itself a deeply unethical route), it makes sense to keep playing the rigged game for now while we build a dialogue about radical reforms.
Are you on the open source drivers or in the official ones? You should be using the open source as they are better in this case.
I have the impression it has to do with your monitor as well, could it be some HDR functionality? Try opening the OSD of your monitor and check if something changes when on the application
