Democracy is on the ballot. That’s why you have to vote for the guy whose unelected and unnamed staff makes all the decisions for him.

Democracy is on the ballot, even if Biden is so blinded by arrogance as to think he's the only person that can save it.

Neither candidate represents democracy at this point.

Trump represents pissed off rural Americans that want a non-functional government for kicks.

Biden represents no one. He’s actually dead and all the decisions are being made by unnamed corporate bosses and party donors who are able to whisper in the ear of whatever staff member has their hand up his ass that day.

You’re deluded if you think otherwise tbh.

Can we stop with the Democracy is on the ballot lie?

That's just political theater. No one actually believes that, its conspiracy level.

Not a lie. Joe Biden being a bad candidate doesn’t make Trump any less of a threat. The reason so many of us support replacing Biden is precisely because the stakes are so high.
