    I wouldn't mind typing out an ENTIRE FUCKING THESIS.
    But I lack a computer to make things simple, both candidates suck, politics is a scandal, pacifist is a sunny D guy, and I am on a phone.

    I can appreciate that kind of simplicity.

    Though I don't appreciate a reason to vote for Trump because his policies work for what America is now and I think is a lazy argument to make to vote for him to be President. I don't see how having Biden would be a worse candidate given what Trump has manifested in this country for all to see in the last 4 years. Despite being on a phone you can definitely convey a bit more than what you did 100%.

    His policies being "I'm a republican" and "I want the niche closet every-phobes to vote for me" are what drives that success you view. His biggest claim to success is the economy which crumbled underneath him due to a lack of structure and leadership to handle a pandemic. He broke down the support systems to address a pandemic to allocate funds into other projects that didn't need it. So he can't even prop up his biggest success from failure just like anything he has ever touched in his life. He was given ample warnings on his actions months in advance and ignored them because he's the all knowing being. I view next to nothing else he did as a success.

    Then there's everything else he has let happen to top it off. It's simple af to not vote for Trump and it hurts to vote for Biden and all I want is Bernie but if he's gonna support Biden vs. not endorsing him at all I'll trust that Biden doesn't kill this country in 4 years and pray that any contenders against Biden are aiming for progressive movements otherwise they're all dead to me.

    I also appreciate parody accounts pumpkinspice aptly named.

    Alright, you like videos right? same.

    Biden can't talk

    Trump can't talk


    Biden's a racist

    let's not talk about the white supremacists who endorse Biden
    Anti-racist


    Trump's a racist

    As for the riots, looters etc of USA, do you want the insurrection act? We all know how the media will run with that "Dictator Trump uses Insurrection act to squash peaceful protests", or do you want the democratic mayors to settle down and deal with them instead of supporting them?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFoTU_RIOEc
    Oh and what's your favorite news organizations take on it? "Why does it say violent?! change that quickly!"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vpKYdsa3P0
    "Fiery but mostly peaceful"

    "economy which crumbled underneath him due to a lack of structure and leadership to handle a pandemic." Are you really that smooth brained to understand that the economy of the world is fucked by the pandemic? In most places, they are seeing their second wave of it and it's worse than the first. Do all the countries that might possibly see a recession or are struggling to rebuild it, a victim of trump?
    https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/f...-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-a-changed-world

    I understand, all you can say is "Orange man bad" but come on, you can do better than that, you have the internet, you can do searches and do the work yourself instead of just listening to reddit or CNN or MSNBC.

    Oh and take some time to read the corona virus timeline https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/updated-timeline-coronavirus it starts from the bottom, take a few seconds to see what each country does and when.

    Everything you bitch about Trump doing wrong and that he "Should have done more" would make him have dictator level powers in the USA, you are a democracy, you vote on plans and have different groups to figure shit out, Trump doesn't just walk in and say "This is what I want to do and it will be done now" or else he WILL be the dictator you try to say he is, just look at the stimulus plan for corona, https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/07/cor...-bill-stalls-trump-mulls-executive-order.html it's been pushed back several times because they can't come up with a suitable plan that both sides agree with to the point that Trump has to threaten and go around them just to get relief to the people.

    So my question to you is this, Do you want a dictator? Do you want him to have absolute say over everything? or do you want states and counties control what their citizens do? you can't bitch about what he's not doing then bitch about him doing something that you bitched about him not doing.

    Oh and these closet-phobes you talk about? Check out what people call POC republicans, or POC cops, you disgust me.

    They're both complete idiots I made that entirely clear.

    Im going to entirely avoid all of the videos because a lot of it is trying to make CNN bad, which they are, and I'm clearly not endorsing any of the stupid shit they do or what have you. Given you've assumed I consume media specifically from MSNBC CNN and reddit it doesn't take much for me to look anywhere else on FOX or OANN as well as John Oliver Philip Defranco Shapiro Hasan Crowder ABC or anything. I take it all in and digest what I'm looking for and see as many POVs from twitter commenters videos or what fucking ever there is. Obviously wont check all of these sources on all issues at all times when something goes wrong just until I get a clear enough picture from those who are talking about it. I call shit clearly stupid when I see it because I literally read it and understand what they're trying to say and see if that's what's happening and call what I see if it's true and good or false and misleading. Nothing has convinced me either of these candidates are good for president from any media outlet, and more importantly Trump has convinced me in the last 4 years he is less worthy of being president he had his 4 year trial run and it's a fucking terrible. The bare basic differences between these two idiots is Biden has Bernie's support which I'll fucking trust as much as I hate Biden and Trump's 4 years in office have left a lot to be desired and I don't expect him to all of a sudden prove himself as his fearmongering incompetence goes for another 4 years.

    And now let's dig deep here. Ok so yes of course. The entire world's economy was affected by the pandemic. Didn't say they weren't. I'm keeping it within the USA and how the USA has handled the pandemic and how him lacking leadership or any backbone to enforce policies to keep Americans in check for just a little fucking bit without being a dictator fucked the country harder than it needed to be.

    Trump consistently downplayed the threat for the longest time at the very beginning of when the pandemic hit the USA. Can't tell me he didn't there's clips upon clips of him telling the nation that the virus was nothing. Eventually it exploded because nothing was done to exercise extreme caution against a pandemic-like virus. So let's say "Oh if Trump enforced everyone to stay healthy halted travel blah blah blah, he'd be a dictator! Everyone would hate him!" That's the problem with Trump's, your's, and a decent portion of this country's mindset. Science has been consistently ignored (an entirely different topic with Trump) since he took office. He'll send mixed message about how to do this and that with the weather or the virus as well as pull billions of funding from government science research. Whether it's NASA which they've just said, fuck it Elon you do everything, NIH, DOA, EPA, etc. Then he delegated all authority to reduce blame for any inaction he'd have taken to handle the virus to his task force which is smart as well as the governors of every state which is also smart. So then when they start asking for help he starts going off about "I cant provide this and that they're overblowing the pandemic out of proportion the numbers they give me is ridiculous" when they were always all very real and if it wasn't for Fauci trying to hammer it into his thick skull the country would be straight fucked. A country like the USA without some harsher measurements was just the perfect place for coronavirus to flourish because 'if trump became a dictator for the sake of killing coronavirus you'd be whining about how he's a dictator now' when the country needed harsh order and guidance like what they were attempting to do in Michigan before they were forced by gun wielding idiots to back down on restrictions because you again don't downplay the severity of a fucking disease with no cure. Being a leader doesnt mean being a dictator. Had it been taken seriously when he knew of the virus which he was told early enough on the country could've been hit significantly less hard and so would have the economy and the USA wouldn't be an entire quarantine zone. Sure maybe the governors could've bypassed Trump and done things sooner or earlier, but who the fuck knows certainly not you or I if the governors were given that same info Trump did before it made waves around the country and you can blame them all you want as well for letting shit get out of hand but if there's no guidance from the top of the pyramid what the hell do you expect people to do?


    I barely stated much of what he has done or hasn't done to begin with because the specifics of his presidency are so simple enough that you can just gauge his value on the basics of what he wants to do. Wants racist immigration laws from Stephen Miller, Wants a flourishing economy (which isn't a bad thing so hold on for a second) at the expense of allies (which is quite bad, can't bite the bullet and pay more for the worth you bring to the world what a shame), more times than not will refuse to assist with issues internationally, consistently promotes conspiracy theories, That 1 minute clip of yours sure as hell doesn't clear him of consistent messages that he's literally racist, a bigot, and doesn't actually condemn white supremacy. He deflected all of that stupid ass shit onto fucking gruesome and violent video games isn't that just the most wise thing to say? Well clearly we're in a forum that deals with killing terrorists god damnit he's so right isn't he? Had he literally fucking done anything to stop any of that after that clip went out which he had many opportunities to do I'd shut the fuck up. Hell it's better he didn't do shit because he'd go after video games as if they caused the shootings not the weaving of division in the country's fabric he constantly sows everyday. He clearly fucking hasn't he instead went the other fucking way and wants to send the military to every protesting city to get rid of all of the civil rights protesting. Had he rather consistently put out that same message in that 1 minute clip any time there was an issue that rose up and actually aimed to assist those in distress rather than wanting to add more fuel to the fire I'd be worlds less annoyed with him.

    But no you go off on how he's good for not actually being a dictator about issues I left undescribed for a reason. And because the parties have been so clearly divided for his entire presidency it doesn't surprise me that he's trying to go around them to get relief to the people because it's essentially a republican controlled bill to begin with because the senate is trying to please Trump as much as possible because if they cant he won't sign it obviously. The democrats trying to give more relief to people shouldn't be an issue but it is because he doesnt want to burn money for his mistakes and the people's money going back into the country will piss off republicans because they dont want their money going back to people they didnt intend for it to go to.

    Literally no one wants a dictator I didn't say anything that'd make him out to be a dictator if he did something differently. The states and countries controlling what their citizens do is also not smart. Literally nothing I've said has been me bitching about him doing something he did as well as bitching about what he hasn't done. If the message from the very top is "virus not bad, it'll go away, it's not serious" states will buy into that, people will buy into that. A lack of action creates no safety net for the fallout that did happen. "So are you rather saying he should've been a dictator when handling this virus? He should've just closed the entire country down and restricted everyone from doing anything like a dictator?" Clearly no... before anything I just said in this paragraph is pulled out of context this is specifically regarding the virus and how he the states or whoever handles it and not about how Trump, states, blah, run shit in general. You follow what the science says and appropriately act based on the data which will never ever suggest a country become a dictatorship to eradicate a virus. Took him a few months to get scientists to tell people to take that shit seriously. Clearly did a number on the country because we had a mix of no regulations and strong regulations causing extreme exhaustion due to mixed messaging and fear of spread due to every state handling the virus differently. Wouldn't that have been much better had the country followed a very clear set guideline from government scientists or is that too dictatorshipy for you?

    I have zero clue what you're trying to get at with people of color representing republicans or working as cops when I'm referring to Trump getting support of closet every-phobe people.

    I don't see how you who what I thought was a very clever parody account can bring out what Trump has done in his 4 years as worthy enough to continue for another 4 years because you view his mistakes as defensible rather than things that shouldn't have happened to begin with or rather could've been handled better had he listen to experts on any issues that came across the country during his presidency. Not everything can always be 100% fully planned for but if you're going to be caught off guard every time something happens no matter what it is then where's the excuse for that. He's human? I don't need any media outlet to tell me shit after I saw live him address the nation about the george floyd protests outside the white house to have his AG (which he didnt condemn him doing) use the police to brutally clear the streets of peaceful protesters for him have a photo op and be turned into propaganda to save the fucking country. America's so fucking great again isn't it or is it rather we're still just 4 years away from being great again? It's clearly not great now with him as president everything is on fucking fire in here if that's what makes america great then just blow the whole thing up already that'll make us the greatest. At least with Indy I feel i'd have a mentally sound convo with but this entire post of yours is oozing "no matter what trump does he's blamed" like he's some kind of incompetent leader who needs a snowflake brigade on the internet and on the streets to defend his incompetency as misguidance or jokes whenever he does anything people hate. Is his fearmongering just a misguided attempt at creating patriotism or some shit like god damn hate Hillary all you want for the people she got killed in Benghazi or Obama's war crimes but I'll stay the fuck away from the close to 200k he's going to kill due to poor leadership in america to a virus that can clearly be contained with proper measures as is evidence by countries not so stuck in the stone age. Leadership doesnt have to equate to being a dictator what's so hard to understand about that? Also of course it's Roz here I thought I was talking to someone who isn't lost in the sauce. Fuck this shit you'll die for Trump before accepting he's bad so I feel much better about being called disgusting from what I thought was a parody account but rather it was someone so uneducated in socialism and progress (OR... COMMUNISM because that's all republicans see those words as) that he'd rather guzzle Trump's ideology of american exceptionalism until he drowns in it. got baited so hard but i'd rather this shit get said than not.

    i dont get how you came up with that take, but just because someone talks about current news doesnt make them an "i know all american politics like my mother"
    a dumbass take was obviously to be expected, afterall you're supporting someone who does this:

    also my earlier comment is so true you cant deny it so you had to type this asspull

    What I find especially funny is this:

    February 7th
    • Donald Trump and Xi Jinping speak about the coronavirus, with Trump praising China’s efforts and pledging support.
    God bless. I guess now it is China's fault, but it wasn't there fault back then lol.

    February 10th
    • The Trump administration releases a budget proposal for FY21 that would sharply cut funding for WHO and global health funding.
    Yeah I can imagine the WHO wouldn't be a necessary thing to help fund in 2020. God bless.

    February 24th
    • The Trump administration sends a budget request to Congress for $2.5 billion to fight COVID-19.
    Alright, sure, credit where credit is do. Can't say he hasn't had his thumb up his ass the entire time.

    February 26th
    • President Donald Trump names Vice President Mike Pence to lead the U.S. coronavirus response.
    YOU GOT THIS PENCE! Even though you failed at stopping HIV in your own state of Indiana, and generally only exist to break a tie vote that will never happen, god bless you man.

    March 13th
    • Donald Trump declares a state of National Emergency under Stafford Act
    Holy shit dude good job pat on the back.

    He then bans travel on March 19th. My biggest issue is that he ultimately got on tv and made it seem like it was no big deal. He has constantly downplayed the virus, he has constantly lied about how well we have been handling it, and he didn't really do much in the first few months. I don't give a fuck about how other countries handled this shit. I care about America. I am sure it would have been bad no matter who was in office, but it was made especially worse because our commander in chief decided to take a day off and let the states handle COVID, which was a fucking mistake. Some states had harsh restrictions, others had very lax restrictions. Also, Trump never did a national mask mandate.

    It is some dumb shit.

    Dont care about your stocks congrats

    Coronavirus being overblown or not shouldn't even be based off of an opinion. "So let's say it's a fact then." That it wasn't overblown sure. Don't have to say it's overblown because trump says it's overblown. What's the criteria for it to stop being overblown for you? When 1 million americans die? 10 million americans get infected? 100 million? Is that not even enough? Or is it because you don't know of someone who had the virus? Maybe you do know someone who had it but they survived and said "yea it wasn't much." Is it really that difficult to care about trying to protect people from a disease which has no cure at the moment? Or rather do you think it's unimportant to care about protecting others because you'll want to go to crowded areas because you don't even care about protecting yourself so why give a fuck about other people?

    Like dude I also really dont give a fuck if you're voting for trump because you hate the left so much because they're complete idiots. Again both sides are entirely fucking stupid. "bleh bleh bleh you're voting biden fucking dem" yea not because he's dem but rather he'll stagnate the country for 4 years at a chance to vote progressive in 4 years rather than regress it for 4 years like trump would. "But you could just vote for trump this year then progress in 4 years" yea let's break the country down more so less progress can be made in 4 years... smart. Not a left or right issue unless you wanna say "stagnation is very left heavy and regression is just conserving our values making it a right issue so you just hate being conservative. also being progressive is condoning communism wtf bro go to russia" which congratulations if anyone thinks that you're fucking brainwashed.

    So as much as I hate both sides if you just wanna vote because it's left or right rather than for any sensible reason... like that doesn't have to be about left or right but instead for you how money will do literally all of the talking for you then be my guest at being regressive and narrow viewed at least you have a reason not as stupid as right or left. But if some of the additional reasons you're gonna flaunt so freely to vote for Trump is because he likes making inflammatory statements about china specifically about the coronavirus as if this was their man made virus in a lab unleashed into the world where there's significantly more disturbing shit they do worthy of criticism then you're just too lost in the sauce.

    "duuuuuuuh. China knew and didnt tell us DUUUUUUUUUUH. They're the reason why the pandemic got out of control." Also America "We didnt know how bad the virus was. We would've done more had we known. It was china's fault for not telling us." Also China "IT'S A NEW FUCKING VIRUS MAN, SORRY WE DIDNT KNOW HOW BAD IT'D BE EITHER." Oh no.... am I sympathizing for China? Or maybe Im being too reasonable here... to think that they literally didn't know how infectious the disease would be given how THE SPECIFICS OF THE VIRUS IS STILL GETTING RESEARCH 9 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE VIRUS IN THE SPAN OF A MONTH BEFORE IT MAKES IT OUT OF CHINA?

    "But wait... you just contradicted your views didnt you? If china didnt know how would the US have known? Why are you getting mad over something Trump didnt know????" It's easy. Using Roz's very convenient coronavirus timeline you can see exactly why it'd be something that causes concern the moment it hits the USA. Given the 1-2 months after it started making waves in Asia there was a decent amount, but not all of, basic details making its way to the west. That's exactly why the media was hammering Trump from the start about the virus and how we now have a plethora of clips of him downplaying the virus.

    The scale of coronavirus even when January came around was one exercising extreme caution to contain the virus. It wasn't clear even then what the incubation period of the virus was where the 2 week thing started happening in February when the world was getting rattled. That's how ahead China was vs. everyone else. "Ahead?! You mean they knew info we didnt?!!?!" No! They were impacted harder before anyone of course they'd take extreme measures and do extensive research to stop the virus! So they got a head start on getting fucked by Corona and the USA was like "you know... we could care and not get fucked as hard or harder about this but given what my scientists have told me ill bet on it not shutting down the country because I want the money." Guess what it shut down the country because the virus doesnt care about the moneyyyyy. Trump's handling of the virus was so terrible that no matter what pollster you went to even Fox they couldn't give him favorable views even after they had their talking heads tell us how the virus was going away for months. Everyone listened to the Fauci who is apparently in the pockets of the left despite the left also not wanting to listen to science because science is an unbiased bitch and if you wanna play politics with science it'll fuck around with you until you die from the virus. Or maybe you're a young healthy individual then let's say until an older loved one dies from the virus that you potentially gave to them. Maybe that's when it matters.... or maybe not humanity doesn't seem to stick to some people and I know it doesnt for Roz. I'd figure maybe for you Rog but who the fuck knows I dont.

    Masks are dumb... Do they make you look dumb? Or it is because yea the virus is overblown (even though it isnt) I shouldnt have to wear a mask? Do you have alleged trouble breathing with them on? Is it because Trump didnt wear one 'in public' for several months so they're just dumb? Did god tell you to not disgrace his image (that people constantly 'disgrace' with makeup in that case for decades) or did he instead say in the bible "I dont breathe co2 bitch" so you wont either? If these are any of your reasons, lost in the sauce.

    How hard is it to follow science? Apparently if you hate a specific political party that barely follows science itself apparently very easy. Science getting shafted is nothing new in politics so what am I getting upset over? Because everyone works off of interests or rather in this case they don't want to alter their lives because of a disease that doesn't give a fuck about what you want to do. But no because it's easy to hate the left for being idiots you want to 'be conservative' and go against science that is 'always progressive' which makes you ooga booga out of control and start complaining about change for the betterment of humanity.

    So where's the value in fighting for science? Where's the value in having science around in this world why the hell pay scientists for anything all they do is give us phones, medicine, computers, means of communication, transportation, but no when it comes to protecting people and projecting pandemics they're fucking worthless yea? Because the left can't even stand scientists because it's almost like science should be unbiased and not give a fuck about anyone's interests and just in the facts. So is it entirely illogical to ignore science if you hate the left? Absolutely. Maybe you hate science because they're in the business of being full of themselves... which honestly someone has to be and I'd rather it be logically backed rather than being in the business of being politically full of myself. Or maybe scientists never invented any of these things because you'd like to call them 'inventors' instead because they don't discover or create the science used to make these devices they just combine everything to make the devices work where if the science didn't exist their product wouldn't. Why care about science? "duh. it's always wrong. they're never 100% right they're always 95% confident in their information. Im going to believe that they're in the 5% of being wrong." Man isn't it great to be peer reviewed and have your beliefs and research constantly contested at all times to fortify or dismantle and rebuild what you already know and become smarter for it? It's almost as if the earth isnt fucking flat or trace amounts of CO2 contained within masks something that has been tested FOR DECADES won't kill you is like a fucking fact.

    But you know, Trump always knows best. He hates the WHO, can't make a collaborative effort with the entire fucking world to reach a vaccine faster and have access to it faster. https://apnews.com/b0c6313fca0e902b34d2ce59a6c54012 USA GOTTA MAKE IT OURSELVES BECAUSE TEAM WORK DOESNT MAKE THE DREAM WORK. Wait did I post an anti trump article? Surely not it's an entirely neutral article. But you know, Trump the lone wolf will save the worl--- America. Now here's an actual situation Trump will put himself in on "if he did this instead of that he'd still get blamed." If America gets the vaccine first, probably won't, or rather if they only use their vaccine first and not let's say one from the UK, and it fails. Trump will get railed for it. I will count on Roz to defend him if that happens because Trump didn't make the vaccine it was the scientists he decided to have not collaborate with other researchers around the world who failed him. Cant wait for that excuse "Once again. Trump did nothing wrong. The scientists should've done their jobs better." (Looks at my earlier quote about how science is a collaborative effort that challenges each other on a constant basis to reinforce or present new facts and data to produce better results).

    How doesn't the threat of life long injuries which will be research for years now from the virus fucking make people care? Is it just because it's a threat and not a guarantee about something we wont know for again, years? Damn man. No maybe someone like Roz already just knows in his mind that something like that doesn't exist (diabetes, cancer, obesity, arthiritis, asthma, heart disease, lung disease, nah these arent life long because your life wont be long with these untreated so you cant have a life long disease!)

    But no no no this is too harsh. It's mainstream and reasonable for people to hate science. There's a lot of fields and a lot of stuff people ignored about it in school so if people want to be blissfully ignorant and base their opinions off of unbacked science then sure. We'll go off of herd immunity get next to the closest infected person and help the cause. Hopefully you arent apart of the currently like 3.5% mortality rate. "yea sure i drive all the time that's basically a 3.5% chance of dying at any given point ill give it a go!" Not like the law of averages for a virus' mortality rate we don't even know exactly of yet won't kick ass or anything. Hell it may actually not kick ass, but I'd bet on it actually kicking ass. Because every 1% in mortality rate is a fucking big deal.

    Never condoned looting who the fuck condones looting does the left condone looting in some regards i'd imagine am I condoning looting how does that help anyone? At the same time how does killing help anyone from any side here from the looting cops vigilantes what have you? If you wanna bring up shit like "well you know the left says 'it's a boil over from all of the conflict that they're propagating themselves so they're causing it' so it's the left's fault for condoning this" as if they're condoning as if they want it to happen as if they're trying to do that as a reason to protest anything. Extremists are doing that from both sides so woopdiedoo.

    I get the whole BLM thing because you hate the left therefore you hate actblue therefore you're obligated to hate BLM cool for you didn't have to hate it because you hate the left but you know that's cool excellent for you. Priorities are where they are congrats.

    Kanye dumb. Music not bad.

    Side note: Something that may shock you from the progressive science simp here. All the news about if people will or won't get the vaccine immediately when it's available. How there's a ton of people skeptical about the vaccine who aren't anti-vaxx... Guess what that's fucking normal to be skeptical about. Doesn't have to be a left or right issue. Anti-science or what have you. The first vaccines coming out will probably not be the strongest or most effective possible. So don't be actually anti-vaxx when a more effective vaccine gets released, but you can hate the initial roll outs though that's valid as hell even though I really wish it wasn't. Science isn't going to be perfect all the time every time for the first time.

    yea not really caring about who im talking to here anymore. if people wanna be dumb go be dumb you're got the info to educate yourself or the freedom to believe what you want. if you get nipped in the ass dont tell me you did that'd be terrible to hear ill get my small violin out when i care to find it.

    I am not even sure where this idea of stagnation comes from. Has Biden adopted a "do absolutely nothing" plan? Last I remember, a lot of his policies are incredibly progressive, at least more progressive than we've seen in a long time. He isn't Bernie, but he sure as fuck isn't Trump, and sure as fuck isn't a republican.

    Why I can't vote for Trump:
    1) Shut down the government because the congress (which at the time was republican) wouldn't fund his wall to the amount he wanted.
    2) Instituted a Muslim travel ban that targeted no countries where terrorism actually comes from.
    3) Has gotten nowhere with North Korea, except for a photo op.
    4) Has gotten us out of the Parris Climate Agreement, lied about having to pay a lot of money (which is not true), and essentially doesn't believe in climate change, which is fucking absurd.
    5) Has gotten us out of the Iran Deal, which means Iran can now build nukes again (the deal was working, yet trump didn't like it because apparently we were going "too soft," which in his mind means we should have been bombing their generals)
    6) Has vetoed bills that prevent the US from funding the Saudi's genocide of Yemen, mainly because he believes that Americans "profit" from the business. Essentially: "We can't get rid of the American industrial complex because it makes us a shit ton of money!"
    7) Banned transgender people from the Military.
    8) Has failed to respond to systemic racism in any meaningful way.
    9) Tear gassed a peaceful protest so that he could walk across the street and take a picture.
    10) Has started a fucking trade war with China.
    11) Has stacked his cabinet with business insiders and in some cases actual fucking nazis (steve bannon), who, btw, is currently being indicted for fraud.
    12) Has had several members of his inner circle be not only indicted, but charged, with actual fucking crimes. Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, and many many more.
    13) Has turned the Justice Department into a fucking joke, removing prosecutors and replacing them with others in cases where Trump's people are being prosecuted.
    14) Appointed Brett Kavanagh to the supreme court despite the fact that he could have literally chosen any number of others (he was given a list).
    15) Has beaten the land speed record of politicians lying. For fucking real. He lies constantly. Not like any other politician, he lies over shit that isn't even important ("my inauguration had more people than ever before")
    16) Has cut welfare programs because why not
    17) Has attempted to gut the ACA on several occasions, despite it being relatively favorable among Americans.
    18) Has lowered taxes on the wealthiest Americans, has made it so college income is taxed (as if college students working on campus to pay off their tuition didn't already have it bad), and has raised taxes for a lot of the lower and middle class by canceling out deductions that many Americans use to be able to take.
    19) Has threatened to take American journalists to court for libel, which is a slippery slope that I'd rather the government not go down.
    20) Finally, over and above all, Trump is really fucking stupid. The guy can barely put a coherent sentence together, can't go five minutes without stroking the dick of American imperialism and patriotism, and overall his actions have been unprofessional, and have dangerously set the precedent for several presidents to come.

    So yeah. This is a little bit more than "Orange man bad," it literally is that I disagree with this dumb fuck and almost everything he stands for. I would crawl over broken glass to get this fucking guy out of office, and if the glass is Biden... well shit boys... it was fun, amen god bless :D

    I think Biden is a complete pushover and ill bite my tongue if he does anything actually progressive. In either case, I'll take Biden over further diving into regression.

    And yea yea from the Trumpers who may wanna say "how is it regression if trump is focusing on strengthening capitalism you just simply dont like america." Land of the free to be stupid home of the brave enough to risk your life for a fun night out. That's what was fought for keep at it troopers.

    Honestly, you can do that and be socially progressive too. Half of that is missing from Trump + all of the stupid that comes with him.
