    No. Biden is like being made to eat your vegetables. They might not taste good but you have to do it.

    Voting for Trump and Republicans is like eating shit for money. Everyone is going to be worse off, oh and only the people on top get paid for it. Everyone else is just screwed.

      Mmmm, vegetables are good for you. Voting for Biden is not a total catastrophe, but he’s not a strong leader or a great influence on the world. He’s a functioning adult, and we badly need him to win, but let’s not pretend that the progressives who don’t love the guy are wishing we had cake and ice cream for dinner.

        If you refuse to vote or vote “none of the above”, that’s just not eating dinner. That’s not an option that’s going to work.

        People are still yelling about Bernie because there hasn’t been a good progressive candidate for president in 8 years.

        I have a challenge for everyone who says “our leaders are too old”: what new leaders are you looking for? Who are you finding?

        I don’t mean the narcissists the media is pushing (Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, Andrew Yang, etc.). Who are you finding in your local area? Yes, we have to do the work.

          Tammy Duckworth. If we make it, I hope I live to see that woman become president in 2028 or beyond.

      Who is “you” here? Because I could’ve made the same argument about candidates in the 2020 primaries about leftist and progressive candidates. Why don’t the millions of people who voted for Biden in the primaries “eat their veggies” and help get a progressive or leftist candidate elected?

      Biden isn’t good for the people who don’t want to vote for him. Biden is good for the people who are insisting everyone has to vote for him.

      Don’t taste good?

      Given all Biden is doing for women with abortion and ivf, he’s getting kids breakfast and lunch money, he’s helping reduce college loan disasters, Medicare is going after pharmas that price gouge, he’s the first president ever to join union members on the picket line, I could go on.

      It is not perfect and it isn’t 5 Michelin star quality but it definitely tastes good.

      Trump is like eating a full bowl of shit. Biden is like eating a half bowl of shit. You’ll still be eating shit.

        This is a wrong headed metaphor. And anyone who has had to deal with actual feces would always chose the lesser of two weevils.
