Voted for the Patriot Act? That mother fucker wrote it. When he first wrote it during Reagan's Presidency it was too far to the right for even Reagan.

Have you got some source ? Because as author of the patriot act I found Jim Sensenbrenner

I'm betting you dont know half of what he's done. If you did you would never consider casting a vote for him or his party that's allowed it all to happen.

I’ll vote Biden because I know at the end of his term he’ll leave office.

I’ll take that over the uncertainty of trump who will surely be on the ballot. Not to mention, as a person whose just come out this year, I’m not confident I’d be safe under a trump presidency.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What's my alternative? Only person on the ballot will be Trump. So if I want retain my right to vote Biden will be my only choice because we got to keep Trump out and all Republicans.

So, let me get this straight.

Given a choice between evil Pinocchio (this time with international strings!) and a violently orange water balloon filled to bursting with bull's shit, you'd chose the wooden puppet to throw at the massive human rights abuse apparatus currently fucking everyone's data up the ass?

Let me know how that goes for you.
