The alternative is fascism so I’ll obviously vote against that, but I gotta say, I’m uneasy voting for someone who clearly isn’t running the country. With the news coming out that pretty much every interaction with Biden has been scripted, including his cabinet meetings (which he hasn’t held since October of last year), it’s pretty obvious Biden is not the one calling the shots. White house staffers, other than a small group of handlers, are restricted from interacting with him, something unheard of in previous administrations.
So who are we voting for? His handlers? It’s pretty clear he’s a geriatric puppet that isn’t making real decisions, so who’s holding the strings? It’s not his cabinet; again, they haven’t had an official meeting since October. Doesn’t that concern anyone? We’re supposed to be voting for the leader of our country, but the actual person/people running it are not the ones on the ballot, we don’t even know who they are.
Even if they replace him, it feels like we’re not really getting a choice. It will be the DNC picking the candidate, it’s too late for another primary. Political talking heads like to say “well this is who the American people voted for so this is who they want!” No it is fucking not. If you put a gun to my head and force me to eat shit, you can’t turn around and say “boy, this guy sure loves eating shit! He chose to eat it, so that must mean it’s what he wants!”
I don’t really know what the solution is. Our leaders are now picked instead of voted, that’s not a democracy.
