From an unironic liberal tumblr blog, "yes he sucks and broke every promise, but come on, youre not going to vote trump, so dont worry"

Yeah because I'm not going to vote for Orange Dipshit doesn't mean Biden lying and breaking promises is somehow valid and cool and good. Blue MAGA is awesome!

"Yes the genocide in Palestine is horrible ~~but at least it's not me~~"
There's always an implied ending to that statement.
I'm convinced that a lot of their willingness to close their eyes to just how atrocious things like the Palestinian genocide and Mexican border camps are is fueled by racism.
- White liberals being racist? Shit man, is the pope catholic?
- You know what? I'd be okay with that. At least they should be honest about it.
  I totally get voting for Biden due to self interest. It sucks. But I get it. Self-preservation and all that.
  But don't pretend he's the lesser evil. He's just the evil that benefits you and not someone else.
  
  You'd be ok with white American liberals thinking their lives are more important than those of brown people? I'm not ok with that.
I don't see blue maga, it seems like OOP doesn't like Biden either. All I see is someone pleading for the least bad (and realistic) option in the election.
- And I'd just like a president who doesn't break promises, protects women's rights, fights against a corrupt court, didn't lock up more Mexicans at the border, raised the minimum wage, protected the EPA, didn't claim COVID is over while people are still dying...
  "But that's Congress' job!" And yeah sure it is, but has he ever fucking asked Congress to do these things? Has he been vocal consistently about it like progressives want him to? Nope. He won't be.
  When you vote for lesser evil, you get evil.
  
  To expand on this, he's made quite clear that he has no intention of ever ending support for Israel's genocide, and he's straight up bragged about deporting more migrants than Trump while perpetuating the "border crisis" narrative. He's an absolute ghoul and proud of it.
You know, if Biden were to (somehow) win in November, it would be interesting to see the "vote blue no matter who" crowd try to explain away Biden (inevitably) doubling-down on his support for Israel's genocide to a far greater degree than he is doing now.
Wishful thinking on my part, I suppose. The liberals will simply do what they always do - go to sleep as soon as they have a lib in the Waffle House and pretend US foreign policy has (magically) changed because of it.
- I predict that they would double down on denying Biden's willful role in continuing funding for a genocide and offer some convoluted mental gymnastics for why "he has no choice" but to do so.
  I base this prediction on how they responded in 2021 when he extended the wall and opened more concentration camps at the Mexican border. Even then, they were acting like it was justified as long as it was Biden doing it instead of Trump.
  Cultlike behavior tbh
