And I'm pretty sure it would be turn into a shitfest if I tried to discuss the rest of the issues because I know you see them with Marx colored glasses.

Honestly this bit makes me extremally curious what your response to the other two issues are. Do you think they're both good things? I just want to know what I'm dealing with here.

Not sure why I'm stupid enough to reply.

WRT police, the budgeting is not unprecedented. I, too, support defunding police, but as far as all the metrics I've seen, nothing about Biden's budget effect on police funding is out of the ordinary.

WRT the Union stuff, it's complicated. He used a law meant to protect the country for the way it was indended, and empowered 8 of 12 unions to sign a deal they agreed to. There has never been any evidence of overt or covert threat of actually arresting members of the other 4 unions if they did strike. You might disagree with that, but it was a bold faced lie to say he "(sic) striped one of the largest unions in the country of its right to strike, something Republicans haven’t managed to do since the Traffic Controller firings in the 80s"

You get to decide whether someone on your side lying is better or worse than someone who is merely far-left non-communist calling bullshit what it is. There is exactly one way to guarantee never having my vote, and it's lying.

Do you...do you actually think we intend to vote communism in?

It's not like we're even remotely subtle here about this fact, we literally glorify the revolutionaries daily, and constantly spit on the idea of electoralism
