    Oh is this one of those things where a Biden supporter tries to convince people that.

    1. The president is completely powerless

    2. trump becoming president would be terrible, so we have to vote Biden

    Cuz buddy, not being trump is pretty much the only reason people are voting Biden, because 1 is bullshit

    But we’d have a lot better chance beating trump with a president whose ambitions are higher than not dying in office.

      Not powerless, but the fear of Trump (IMO a founded fear) is that he would abuse the office and be permitted to do so by his party members in Congress. I understand that people want Biden to do the same thing (for a real and good cause) but that would also be the end of American democracy.

        He is doing the same thing…

        He’s getting sued by the ACLU for illegal border policy, and breaking US and international law by supplying munitions for Israel’s genocide…

        Which is the whole point:

        If the most popular reason to vote Joe is he’s not trump, then Joe needs to stop fucking breaking serious laws, especially when he’s doing it for things only republicans want

        Shits not complicated, I hope some of this making sens.
