This month, Sinclair Broadcast Group has flooded a vast network of local news websites with misleading articles suggesting that President Biden is mentally unfit for office. The articles are based on specious social media posts by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which are then repackaged to resemble news reports. The thinly disguised political attacks are then syndicated to dozens of local news websites owned by Sinclair, where they are given the imprimatur of mainstream media brands, including NBC, ABC, and CBS.

    And it’s a joke that has been played on Americans since forever. There’s a way out of it, but it’s not easy, and you better bet your ass that BOTH parties will fight to keep the status quo. If you want change, you need to do the following things.

    1. Vote for Biden because if Trump wins, he has plans to take over.
    2. Push immediately after the election for Ranked Choice Voting.
    3. Unless and until 2 is achieved, get your guys and gals running as Democrats and vote for them in the Primaries, then vote for the Republican in the general. The GQP showed how well that works as Team Pepe is getting exactly what they want.

      Oh for sure! Would be amazing if we had ranked choice, but sadly it will never happen. The deep state loves the 2 party system, they get to maintain control of both sides. Look at all these stupid fucks downvoting me too, pretending that Biden is actually a good candidate. They might even believe their own bullshit lol. Fucking losers, of course I’m voting for Biden I don’t want a shitbag wannabe dictator that trump is, but it’s insane if you think bidens a good choice. Dudes about to die, just like trump. Out of touch old fucking men with no skin in the game.

          So how do you feel about Biden now after the debate? Was that not horrible to you? Like I said before I would still vote for him to avoid trump (who just lied and refused to answer questions last night) but holy shit people we can do better.

            I feel about the same about Biden as I did before. A guy driven by ego and past glory who saw an opportunity to regain the spotlight and he took it. The less cynical take is Biden actually believes he is the best candidate for the job of “saving democracy.”

            If I had my way we wouldn’t be fielding any of these geriatric candidates, not because they lack experience or ability, but because we’ve already been doing their shtick for the last six decades and I’m tired of it.
