I know some people that certainly seem to think I have to like him to vote for him. They genuinely think I'm going to sit out an election that could have a wannabe dictator on the ballot.

You know who thinks we have to idolize a guy to let him run our country? Russians and bots made by Russians... it's literally all they've ever known. After that, people who fall for propaganda.

This guy is an irl friend of an irl friend. He gets absolutely mental if you post a quote or news article about something Biden did that unpopular. Recently, I posted about how I'm depressed about the next election and he went into a spiel about how it's our civic duty to vote and how Biden is the only thing keeping use from falling into a dictatorship. I mean, sure, but I'm still depressed that he's our best option. Honestly, the way he talks about Biden reminds me of Trump supporters. Ever hear someone call Biden "Uncle Joe" unironically?
