Biden is old, but capable, honest, ethical, and hard working.

Trump is old, but dangerous, lying, treasonous, and a fascist.

One thing is not like the other.

Please do go away, Mitt Romney. He never could bring himself to admit his party is the worst thing about this country.

Romney: Biden, Trump should both ‘stand aside’ in 2024

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Wednesday that he wishes President Biden and former President Trump would stand aside and allow both political parties to choose new leadership for the 2024 presidential contest. Romney, 76, made the comment while talking to reporters in his office following his retirement announcement earlier in the day. “I think…

It's so frustrating that so many non-Democrats get attention for saying what Democrats "should" do.

Second guessing Biden is a mistake a lot of people are making.

@GreenFire Bit of a disease this week.

All the flouncy complaining in the midst of a crisis often discourages voter turnout and participation (and often culminates in someone stating they're not going to vote because they're not delighted by the options).

Elections have consequences and it’s only been a couple of years since we’ve gotten Trump away from the controls.

It’s going to be a choice of Biden or Trump. Undermining the Democratic candidate is no laughing matter.

@TonyStark @GreenFire I’ve run into at least three “there’s no point in voting” idiots in the last week and a half here on Mastodon. We have got to keep shutting that bullshit down, but man it’s depressing sometimes. How can anybody be that cavalier about other peoples lives that would be destroyed.

@Pineywoozle @TonyStark
Somehow we've got to make it clear that the people that don't vote because #BothSidesAreBad are no better than are MAGAts.

They're essentially saying that they're privileged enough to not have to worry about what the damage GOP policies cause to people's lives or our planet.

@GreenFire @TonyStark We need to tell them in the hopes that someone who follows them will hear it. I’ve been dealing with this garbage since 2016. Most of the small % that push this aren’t going to change, but the people listening to them might. The trick is to inform them & leave that information in their timeline where they can’t hide it from followers, then block the motherfuckers & move the fuck on. Part of their game is to suck up time and energy. #farL
@Pineywoozle @GreenFire GreenFire and I have both been here for awhile and it’s a real battle. I’m glad there are more of us now ally up.

@TonyStark @Pineywoozle @GreenFire

It's great to hear there are people who are likewise annoyed by the self-defeating nonsense that is "there's no point in voting"

Even if you think they have given us a twig for a sword of democracy the answer is to use it to poke them in the eye, not disarm yourself and lie down and take whatever comes to yourself and your community.

@doctormo @TonyStark @Pineywoozle @GreenFire People should vote, but it is near useless. Getting to the polls it's going to be difficult when they are on fire, or you have to swim to them. If you think voting is enough, you are absolutely wrong. The system has led us to oblivion.
@gdeihl @Pineywoozle @GreenFire @doctormo No one is saying voting is all we need to do and it’s super annoying when people roll up and claim anyone said it. It’s ridiculous. And old and tired.
@TonyStark @Pineywoozle @GreenFire @doctormo What's getting old and tired is the climate crisis that is going to cause our extinction. Our passivity makes us complicit. One party is fascist, and the other one is inept, not calling for or envisioning the profound changes we need if we are to have a future on this planet.

@doctormo @gdeihl @GreenFire @Pineywoozle I’m not complicit and see you’re fairly misinformed, possibly intentionally, looking at your other posts.

I’d say the fascist one is a little more important at the moment. Enjoy your evening.

@TonyStark @doctormo @gdeihl @GreenFire I read his TL & I’m just gonna block.
