Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

There's not many Biden supporters, it's just there's no alternative that isn't batshit insane.

Voting for Biden is like breaking a leg, and the Republican alternative is like getting your leg amputated.

Very few people want either, but if one of the two are gonna happen, it's a pretty easy choice.

I'd view it more as just... Biden is practically a net nothing. It's like your house is on fire. Voting for Biden is like standing by and watching it burn down. Voting for Trump (or really any other GOP member) is like adding a nuclear bomb to the fire (to own the libs or something).

Biden does do some good and some bad things, but the good things he does are often just not enough (eg, as a Canadian, I absolutely cannot comprehend how Americans defend their cluster fuck of a healthcare system). If the house wasn't on fire, that'd be fine, but not even trying to put out the fire is pretty shitty. There's gonna be a lot of deaths and damage.

As bad as it is to ignore the fire, leveling the entire city is just so laughably worse.
