      It is difficult, and yet hundreds of Trump administration officials have been indicted for their obvious crimes.

      Look, I’m a progressive, so I don’t like Biden very much. I am not surprised that someone found drugs in the West Wing, either. I would bet if you turned out the pockets in the capitol building, you’d get enough coke to kill an elephant. Politicians and political activists are competitive, unscrupulous people, and I don’t condone cocaine abuse. But on the scale of accused crimes, somebody doing drugs in the bathroom pales in comparison to any of the scandalous crimes Trump officials have been convicted of.

          I don’t think that progressives are unaware of the corruption, but I think neoliberals and MAGAts want to pretend that bOtH sIdEs SaMe to blur the choice, or discourage voting entirely. The character issues between Biden and Trump are not a tie. That’s not a defense of Biden, that’s a criticism of Trump.

              That I am an independent

              Here’s how I know that’s not true.

              You think criticizing Trump in a thread about Trump is fixating on Trump.

              You think that Trump “may, in fact, be the thing we actually need.” No. Full stop. Trump is a syringe of poop, and you’re advocating we inject it into our veins. There is no scenario where Trump improves anything, no problem he could solve, no benefit he brings to the table. And thinking he could help is evidence of a diseased mind.

              I’ve gotten wiser to what’s going on since.

              That may be true, but it sounds like you’re neck deep in conspiracy theories and bullshit, and you’re just happy it’s not in your mouth anymore.
