Biden's speech last night was better than Obama's. Obama was just pushing the same bipartisanship bullshit as always. I hate how much Democrats like him. Biden attacked republicans and had a few "my opponents are bastards and actually accuse me of supporting something, and I actually do because it's actually good" lines. Not to butter up Biden, but I prefer it so much over Obama's empty compromise bullshit, and again I really hate how much Democrats love to hear that shit from Obama.
Republicans aren't decent people you have a disagreement with. They're hateful scum and their platform is evil and shouldn't be allowed to run for office.
Thing is tho - so are Democrats.
It's one of the things I care about the most because it effects me in deeply personal ways fairly often, it costs me friends and scares the shit out of me, Obama and Biden are historic, incomparable, evils on genocidal 'anti-immigration' and 'border control' policies in the contemporary era.
The Republicans genuinely do not compare, rhetoric aside, what they actually do is so much fucking tamer, life is so much less dangerous on average.
I'm not saying Dems are worse than Republicans, tho perhaps some specific men are. I'm saying they're the same creature.
Of course they're bi-partisan.
The difference between a liberal and a fascist: The fascist wants to kill you. The liberal wants the fascist to kill you.
I think they both want to kill you, the liberal uses a heat guided missile while the fascist uses a plowdriver on an F-150.
I want everyone to remember that Obama and Biden both had harsher immigration policies than GWB and Trump
Obungler has such a hard on for respectability politics and bipartisanship bs. if I have to listen to one more speech about the need to preserve democracy im going to purchase a rope and sturdy chair
But that's exactly how and why Democrats approach them as if they are. Because the only difference between the two at this point are purely aesthetic-driven. The Democrats aren't decent people either-- they're just as hateful, just as evil, and honestly, maybe worse because at the very fucking least a Republican will look you in the eye as he lynches you.
The Democrat will lull you into lowering your guard as a friend, ambush you, string you up from behind, and then crocodile tear to their bought-and-paid-for 'journalism' outlets like they regretted having to betray you. And then they laugh about it after they get what they want.
