Because it is once again, not our fault Biden is throwing democracy out the window for a genocide. MLK warned us about white liberals using your exact logic, why can’t you see how inhumane and quite frankly, insane your logic is?

Fascism is already here, Dems just want to hide the fact they are while Republicans are at least up front about what they stand for. LGBTQ rights are already being stripped, abortion access is deteriorating, & what has Biden done? Has he used any leverage or threatened to withhold funding like other Presidents have?

You are not on our side. Who are you to tell protestors how to protest liberation?

What in the world is insane or inhumane about my logic lol.

Biden has little to no power to protect LGBTQ or abortion rights without the aid of Congress, which he doesn't control. If you want those things protected federally you need to show up for Dems in November. If not it won't be just a loss in republican states, they are openly saying they will start enacting federal measures.

You are doing everything except the one thing that will actually impact your rights

yeah except the dems are creating police states, beating peaceful protestors & somehow yall are okay with it because “the other guys even worse!” Like yeah we know but dems are still fascist, you cant beat fascism with slightly less fascism.

Oh please, Biden has yet to even condemn or consider withholding funding from states. Its funny how Biden is so weak & yet Trump has unlimited power in your eyes. Dems have had all three houses & have failed us every time, why will they not this time?

Biden was genuinely a segregationist and yet he’s going to “save democracy.” What kind of shit is that.
