    You may not be technically wrong, but whataboutism in the face of the new Nazi regime will likely not be well-received. It’s hard to make any reasonable comparison between Biden and the abject authoritarianism happening today with the Trump admin and DOGE.

    Nobody stands up for students, and it’s getting far worse under Trump. I don’t see what Biden has to do with that.

      Well the fact is that we tried “vote blue no matter who” and it failed. The dems won’t even bot do genocide so what’s the point? That’s how less engaged people think, the ones who aren’t debating politics online. Voting for Chuck schumer isn’t gonna fix anything

      When you realize Trump represents what Biden represents which is what Obama, Clinton, Bush etc… Then you’ll realize that USA has always been evil. Trump is simply saying out loud the quiet part. To show my point I’ll list a bunch of things they all did in unison.

      Genocide, not one president didn’t genocide Arabs. Not one. Obama started 5 wars in the middle East, look at how Syria is turning out because of US interference.

      All of them talk about China as a great war engine. A country that has not gone to war in over 40 years.

      They all spread lies about human rights issues in other nations as well as force their allies to confirm what they’re saying. Though hilariously Trump isn’t doing well on that last part.

      But you know, we should keep thinking our votes matter, so let’s not whataboutism, just lay the blame on the current administration.

      Edit. I take back a little bit of what I said. The biggest difference with Trump is the American people are suffering too. At least with prior presidents, they stole resources for America. Trump does not seem to be doing that part and that’s why more people are upset.
