The one reason we all can't speak our minds is cancel culture. Cancel culture was created by so-called progressive democrats. I've only ever voted Democrat in my life, but I just can't support that anymore. Don't downvote till you've read please.

Biden's going to listen to medical professionals and help us get Covid under control. For that alone it's worth voting for him. He's also likely going to get immigrant kids out of cages, stop banning people from random countries that happen to have Muslim populations, and generally improve our standing internationally. I doubt Biden is very woke, and the only thing that he'd probably affect in terms of trans rights would be choosing Supreme Court justices, which is much more crucial in terms of how it will affect abortion rights than anything else at this point.

Ok, I know it's hard to break the programming but I need to go be open minded that much like the trans debate, you're only being told one side by the media. Lemme preface all of this by saying I'm not a trump fan. Just a fan of the truth.

  1. On cages: Obama started the "cage" program. The media circulated a pic from 2014 to use against Trump as an example of kids in cages.

  1. On covid: it is under control. This is the latest CDC data on deaths in the entire country. We are chronologically speaking at the bottom row now.

Much like the trans narrative, there is some agenda here that's not borne out by facts.

  1. Banning people from Muslim countries? Trump only used the list made specifically by Obama for this.

If you start to realize that everything is like the trans narrative, that you're told to think a certain way and it all crumbles when you look into it, you'll see why I feel politically homeless. The knee jerk reaction is to say that well, Trump is worse. I'm actually not sure that's true in even half of the issues if you really look at them. They are all bad.

global warming? I do get pretty confused over which data to believe, especially when people are so quick to reject anything that seems to counter the narrative. I don't want politics to be this antagonistic. It should just be sensible ship-steering, with voters choosing the candidates who seem most capable and have the best plans.. Hard to tell how much influence the executive branch ends up having. It's so much more complicated than that, and it does seem like the role of the media is important - if not to how we actually end up living, very much to how we see ourselves.

Honestly, if Republicans would be for the environment more than corporations, it would go a long way. I detest their stance on that.

What have "progressive" governments actually done for the environment? Most of those people who signed all those treaties and accords, how close are they to meeting their pledged goals? Have you checked?

Good point!
