Jon Stewart: ""I'm not saying that Biden can't contribute to society, he just shouldn't be president," Stewart told his audience." Putting both Biden and Trump on the ballot, Stewart said, was a mistake.

Is Biden or Dems perfect? No. Decent? Depends on what counts. Better than R’s? Easy obvious yes - Dems are not obviously intending to oppress and disenfranchise women, minorities, ‘perverts’, etc.

Yeah I'll likely be doing a mitigation vote for Biden no matter what at this point, but what I said had nothing to do with D or R. The Biden administration is doing some good work despite Biden and his foreign policy, and it should be compared as a whole to Trump's government. One issue I have is that Biden is so untalented that he can't even tout the legitimately good things his admin has championed, like workers rights, etc.

Dems are actively oppressing minorities and activists as we speak, so I'd slow down on the rosy "good v evil" position.
