You're far from reality.

Biden isn't a dream by any stretch, but his administration has done a lot, not enough, but a lot. The alternative is nowhere close - not talking zip code, talking solar system. The republicans literally tried and failed to overthrow American democracy. They had a written fucking plan for the military to shoot American civilians if they had succeeded and there was strong resistance. The two party system is a broken system, but it's here unfortunately and you're a child if you think your protest vote is somehow righteous in this timeline - a non-vote or a third party vote NOW is as good as a republican vote.

Don't kid yourself, own your selfish tantrum if you're going to throw one.
