    A vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries was a vote for fascism. We tried to warn you he wasn’t the guy for the job. 🤷‍♂️

      I very much dislike Biden but I wasn’t worried about being shoved in an internment camp or getting LiveLeak’d by paramilitary goons for the crime of voicing an opinion or melanin during those years.

      My only hope is that one day when you’re an adult you look back at this comment and realize how fucking stupid it was.

      It’s ok. Kids are dumb and make mistakes. They say the darndest things.

        Biden was the Democratic nominee and here we are 6 years later under Trump. 🤷‍♂️ There were other candidates who would have made sure Trump ended up serving time for his convictions. Biden failed just like I knew he would.

      Trump already killed more children than Obama and Biden combined over 12 years with his cuts to USAID, WHO, and Paris Climate Accords alone, leaving aside the 40% excess covid deaths peer reviewed scientific studies indicate from his disastrous covid pandemic response but keep telling yourself this false equivalence lie.

      Say really quick: can you confirm to me that you agree Xi and Putin are at least if not more so corrupt, psychopathic, and/or evil?

          Yes or No: Under Xi, he is funneling both Chinese citizens and arms to Russia to use in Russia’s illegal and inhumane invasion of Ukraine.

            Almost every nation participating in global trade is doing that

            is this something unique to Xi or PRC

              “Everyone is doing it” / “Two wrongs make a right” / Whataboutism fallacy. Leaving aside the boldfaced false-equivalence.

              So imperialism and arms trafficking and complicity in genocide is okay if it’s China doing it, is that right?

        Xi? Have you been to China? They have affordable housing, Healthcare, education and transportation. They have less people in prison per capita than the United States.

          Ah, and there it is.

          Just kinda sorta kicking the brutal mistreatment of Uyghurs, Tibetans, or Tienamen under the rug conveniently, I see, eh? Do you enjoy the attempted imperial conquest of Taiwan China is obviously partaking in? What are labor conditions like there? How do you like those child sweat shops? Do you like that China gets to censor images like Xi as Winnie the Pooh? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised one who endorses authoritarianism over democratic principles, though. Not exactly free and transparent journalism there when anyone who opposes the CCP get disappeared conveniently, now is it? And how do you like that China is actively funneling weapons and mercenaries to Russia to use in imperial conquest and murder of women and children in Ukraine? Tell me, who are you sincerely believing in acknowledging the number of prison people per capita than the US, and what are the comparative living conditions of those prisons compared to the USA? As China goes full-steam on industrialization and capitalism, their pollution rates are significantly worse than USA as well in terms of concerns for climate change.

          Also I noticed you dodged the entire rest of my comment, so please acknowledge this fact: Trump already killed more children than Obama and Biden combined over 12 years with his cuts to USAID, WHO, and Paris Climate Accords alone, leaving aside the 40% excess covid deaths peer reviewed scientific studies indicate from his disastrous covid pandemic response but keep telling yourself this false equivalence lie.

            Don’t mention the Uyghurs around tankies. At least if you want to keep your sanity and/or believe in the inherent goodness of people.

              It amuses me that your comment was down-voted automatically in literally less than 30 seconds of posting, which means there are actual bot farms on here down-voting the mere mention thereof. I only noticed because I happened to refresh and see the notification that you replied to me.

            Keeping all the liberL bullshit you vommited about PRC aside (I dont like the PRC for being revisionist)

            Killing children is not a contest that makes biden and obama accepatable, hope that helps and lessens your bloodthirst

                not killing children is not utopian or purity testing, its question of basic humanity. The GOP and democrats differ almost on nothing except the cutlure war.

                  I’m in agreement but tell that to the dead Children of Ukraine, whose weapons supplies and troops used by Russia originate from China, buddy.

                  Democrats harm less children than GOP. I already proved that without any refutation whatsoever. Harming fewer children = better.

                  Actually that’s incorrect. If you go back far enough, you’ll find I was primarily comparing Biden and Obama to Trump. Then you hyper-fixated strangely on my second brief question regarding your opinion of Xi and Putin, which was a bait that you fell for. Thank you for that.

              Not even lib but nice try, little buddy lol. Your pretentious ad hominem (But thank you tankie for opening the door) deflections precede your actual knowledge and understanding.

              For all our sake, I hope you’re just young (say, below 22-years-old?) and naive. Lay off the twitch chat and venture out in the world.
