      He is. But Trump and the other Republicans are fascists and even further right wing.

              Really, he is personally wiping out a race of people? Not bad for a guy y’all claim is senile.

              Listen, Biden sucks, but the alternative is SO MUCH worse.

                Do you think Adolf Hitler personally gassed 6 million Jews? You do realize that committing genocide is about policy not killing everyone with your own hands right?

                Biden calling himself a Zionist, providing israel with all the bombs to kill Palestinians with, cover them with three aircraft carriers against retaliation, intercepting missles towards israel and defending their ships against attacks in the Red Sea so they can continue their genocide means Genocide Joe is more responsible for enabling this genocide than even Netanyahu

        The only fascists are Democrats like you that believe only your candidates should qualify for the election

          It’s fascism to follow the constitution?

          And as far as I know, only one Republican has an issue with the 14th amendment. No one is stopping Haley, Christie, DeSantis, or even Ramaswamy from qualifying.

            It’s fascism to pull your opponents from the ballot to prevent them from running in spite of the Constitution, yes

              Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

              Read it and weep, MAGA-moron.

      He might be right wing from a global perspective, but I’m still gonna vote for him instead of whoever has the R label. I wish we had cooler viable options, but “lesser of two evils” reigns supreme.

    Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there’s a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.

        It’s a great reason until there’s an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.

        Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices’ impact on the working class.

        You want to change it? Let’s change it. Starting with activists.
