Lauren Boebert blames Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds for making her switch districts

All this really does is just lower the bar for future candidates. If every vote is either fascism or the current state of affairs, fascism is eventually going to win due to apathy

Did... I say that it was?

No. I didn't.

I may not have explicitly said this... but the point that you clearly are either ignoring (my assumption) or just didn't get... is that Biden is not doing enough to stop fascism. which is why, under his leadership the US is continuing to slide to fascism.

You don't win fights- be they full on battles, street brawls, or figurative fights- simply with falling back and staying defensive. if you want to win- if you want to defeat fascism- you're going to have to hit back. in politics, this means going to the opposite end, that is to say, by pushing progressive policies over the regressive policies of the fascists.

• under biden, we've seen an increase- not a decrease- of oil production. Despite the pretty clear dire consequences of doing so. He personally signed the restarting of the Willow Project in alaska, for example. it's pretty clear he doesn't give a fuck about the climate. or about any one whose going to remain alive beyond the next two decades.
• under biden, we've seen a continued erosion of voter rights, an increase in fascism, and might I remind you a literal, bonafide fascist insurrectionist who almost succeeded in overthrowing his government is still walking free. it took his adminstration more than two and a half years to get nuclear fucking secrets back.
• under Biden's economy, many people my age still cannot afford a house, they cannot afford the necessity of a car. People are suffering under crippling debt. and before you blame trump, that was a trend that was only exacerbated by trump's polices, but it was always going that way.
• Wage growth for typical moderate to low-income amercans still hasn't caught up with inflation over the last decade, and the gains in '22 and '23 have barely kept paced with pandemic inflation. Relative to inflation, pay has only gone down, with increases in wages only coming with increased responsibility. and usually only by job hopping into other organizations into a role comensurate with your current qualifications.
• Under Biden's leadership, we've seen a continued erosion of civil liberties- abortion, LGBTQ. etc. things that were increasingly taken for granted are no longer such.
• Student loan debt remains crippling and the only motion on that has been to forgive loans that, contractually, should have been forgiven years, or even decades ago. There's been no investigations in to fraud on part of the loan servicers,
• Similarly, only recently has biden's SBA decided to reverse the whole PPP loan forgiveness thing... instead doing its job and investigating fraud and demanding funding.
• Corportate tax was set at something like 20%. So why is a mandatory 15% going to do anything?

you're acting like the literal scraps you were given in '23 are "change". while it's unfair to say that Biden caused the economic problems... so far his economic policies have not translated very well into economic boons for the average person. in terms of climate change, he's done nothing except give tax breaks for corporations who were going to all those things anyhow, or subsidie the profit margin of companies like tesla.

you can't win a fight, trying to hold what you have, and I'm guessing biden (and his corporate donors,) know this. if you want to win against fascism, that means you have to go on offense... which Biden is not doing. Am I cycical? yes. am I jackass? probably. doesn't change what is. Look around and take a deep whiff. That's not coffee you're smelling.

yeah. have you been paying attention?

• Economy sucks for average americans. While the economy is "strong"... that's not translating to gains for normal people. that's all going straight to record profit and fat bonuses. the trend of increasing numbers of americans living pay check to paycheck has only increased- and indeed accelerated- under Biden's policies. While the fundamental causes are not his fault, per se, and there's limits on what a president can do... the fact is, he keeps trotting this out as a good thing, and he's full of shit. Suffice it to say, he's not done enough.
• He's done more harm to stalling climate change than good. He personally made the decision to allow the Willow Project to go forward, for example. Under his leadership, Oil production is reaching record setting highs... and he's released more oil from the strategic reserve than all other presidents combined. (and before you trot out the BBP stuff, realize that most of that is tax breaks for things corporations were going to do anyhow, or subsidizing EV's so manufacturers like tesla could get away with selling cars that are substantially overpriced... aka corporate profits. same goes for the jump to 40% renewable energy... that's not anything he's done, specifically.)
• fascism is increasingly on the rise. We have a bonafide insurrectionist *who almost succedded in over throwing Biden's presidency... still free. it took Biden's administration over two and a half years to get extremely sensitive secrets back... and they're still missing some of the most sensitive secrets. it took over two years for them to finally get a proper investigation, nearly three years for them to start indictments on things we all knew were crimes.
• Civil Liberties... are being attacked and he's sitting around with his thumb up his ass. Abortion, LGBTQ rights, education. On a federal level, he's done fuck all to defend it. most of the gains (for example, Ohio) are being won despite his leadership.
• equality in criminal justice is still massive problem. I don't think I've seen fuck all from that. his adminstration doesn't seem to have cared so much, except in token gestures- that while meaningful to the people they help, could have been done on day one. (the mass pardon of pot charges, for example,)
• similarly, he could have ordered DoJ to focus on white collar/corporate crimes, as well as going after domestic terrorism. before they get to shoot up election polling places next year...
