    I’m not disagreeing with the reality of FPTP, but I still have the first-amendment right to be angry at Biden. But with the way political discourse is going in this country, I can’t criticize him without being written off as a Trump bootlicker. Fixing that is the first thing we need to do as a country.

      You are being written off as a Trump bootlicker because you parrot Trump propaganda. Perhaps fixing your need to regurgitate Trump propaganda should be the first thing that needs fixing?

        Ah, any criticism of Biden is “Trump propaganda.” Gotta dismiss it with a bullshit term so you can feel like you won, huh?

        Kinda like how Trump and his cult refer to any criticism of Trump as “fake news.”

        Funny how both Team Blue and Team Red do a lot of the same things and don’t want to admit it.

            Yes and no. Both sides are determined to disagree on things on the surface even though they behave the same way a lot of the time.

            For example, both sides are pretty pro-marijuana, but Republicans are determined to oppose it because Democrats are promising to legalize it. And Democrats want to bail out the billionaires and overspend on military as much as the Republicans do, but they pretend to be outraged when Republicans do it.

            It is somewhat funny to see 80 year olds acting like children, but it’s real life.
