This. I f*cking HATE having to vote for Biden. I've hated voting for Democrats for the last 20 years. But I'll vote for him this year because right now, our choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. I may hate my government but I love my country and I don't want it to end.
He's not 100% evil. You have to have some kind of drive for that. He's just the most self-centered person I've ever seen. He'll turn the US into a dictatorship only because it's convenient for him for the rest of his years.
I believe every other President in my lifetime would have given their lives to prevent that.
The part I don’t get is complaining about a politician being boring. Isn’t that a good thing? If a politician is doing their job, admittedly a huge if, there’s no need for drama, outrage, noise
If your country is in a good state then yes, boring is the way to go. But if your country is an open dumpster fire then maybe you need something a little less sedate.
I’m definitely in the opposite side of that. If my country is an open dumpster fire, thaeb boring is exactly what we need. Let’s put those fires out by fixing things to just work. Lets start by firing any politician/ administrator who thinks their job is to create drama and invoke outrage, and replace them with people who can fill the role professionally
Fair enough. But I'm not talking about drama. I'm talking about change. I can appreciate that sitting in a slowly boiling pot of water may seem preferable to getting tipped into the fire but a big part of your problem is that too many are fed up with being slowly boiled alive and most of those are clueless about what to do about it so are thrashing about causing the pot to tip. Boring is partly what got you into this position.
