from what i can tell, 9 out of 10 people on CE hate trump, but they're also really fucking mad at biden.

why, i don't fucking know. but that vibe is nationwide and it's the reason trump's winning.

if you're an anti-biden peep, you should stop and reflect on this moment. you're living through what will be considered an economic golden age. the day may well come when you look back on your life and wonder what you were so angry about in 2024, and why you threw it all away for fascism.

Because we feel he's facilitating a genocide for one. You can disagree, but that's what we believe. How would you feel about someone who you legitimately thought was doing that?

This idea that we're in an economic golden age and so we should overlook the continuing struggles of the average person in this economy....it's not a good idea. First, it's the same argument Trump made in 2020. More importantly, most people feel they're barely getting by and Trump will validate those struggles, while you're trying to convince people they're not happening. That's when he's at his most powerful, being a faux populist. That's a losing dynamic. Third, it ignores the anxieties that are increasing under late stage capitalism regarding increased costs, more precarious work, environmental decline, etc. Instead of explaining how we'll address these problems, we're ceding the field on these issues and making it so that only right wingers are talking about them. And the solutions they propose will be fascist, as always.
