Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

    You think by calling Biden dry toast that isn’t very nutritious is arguing that democrats are good? Lol

    With that level of critical thought, it’s no wonder you’re defending equating the two sides.

      Yeah, what I’m not doing is saying that both sides are equally as bad. That would be a false equivalence. I am pointing out that there would be a lot less room for people to make that false equivalence if one side were actually much better than the other rather than “less bad”.

      But you carry on with your centrist nonsense, with any luck the dry toast is going to beat the fascist rapist because your fellow Americans will elect to eat the rabbit shit sandwich.

        The issue here and the flaw in your reasoning is that you’re defending Trump by saying “DeMs ArE BaD ToO”. Trump doesn’t deserve defending. Quit peddling the dems are bad too bullshit. No matter how much or little he’s done in his term for the US or any other country, Biden is without a doubt a better choice than fascist, rapist, state secrets selling, man-baby Trump. We all know the two party system sucks. We all know dems aren’t perfect. The point is anyone on the left is better than the scumbag known as Donald Trump, so drop the wannabe centrist bullshit.

          I’m not defending Trump. That’s where your entire argument falls down. I am bemoaning the lack of an alternative to Trump that would give the American people the choices that they deserve.

          The point is anyone on the left is better than the scumbag known as Donald Trump

          Biden isn’t on the left he’s in the centre. Bernie Sanders and AOC are centre left but they ain’t running the show and never will be.

            “I’m from the UK and your left isn’t as left as our left!” No one cares. But I don’t know what I expected. If you just want to die on this hill of extra chromosomes, be my guest. What a waste of time to debate with someone who argues symantics and isn’t capable of reflecting on anything they’re saying.

              No one cares

              You don’t care that people are going bankrupt because they get cancer? You don’t care your police are running wild and killing innocent civilians? You don’t care that people are still defending slavery?

              OK. I think I have explained myself in full and I don’t get what extra chromosomes have to do with any of it. I’m done. Thank you for your time.

                Oh, centrists care about all of those. They’re the status quo that centrists want to preserve.

        You called them both shit sandwiches, just one has less shit in it.

        Maybe you could have made that argument pre-trump - but even that would be a stretch even if we can’t get everything we want from Democrats - but now that republicans have been completely captured by trump,who is all but completely openly being fascist, it just makes zero sense.

        “One side literally tried to violently overturn an election they lost, and now their leader is openly using Nazi talking points and threatening the other side. But democrats have failed to pass universal health care, so those people calling them both shit sandwiches do have a point.”

        It’s mind-numbingly dumb.
