Listen, dude: If you don't have enough english comprehension to understand I was expressing dismay at our system of government and not criticism of Joe "The Guy You're All Making Me Vote For" Biden, then I don't think this will be a fruitful conversation.

But if you want some constructive criticism to pass on to your boss, how about this: Turn every campaign event into a food back and free soup kitchen. Spend every dime of campaign contributions on paying off medical debt.

I guarantee that would work better at beating Trump than anything his highly paid consultants could ever post on Tik Tok.

P.S. One more liberal berating me about how "it has to be this way" will not convince me.

Shills like you intentionally straddle that line so when you're called out you can pretend that you were just nebulously criticizing the state of things instead of trying to influence an election.

I’ve been called shill by better people than you on Reddit.

Seriously, listen to yourself, then reread my first comment. You’re deranged.

Then maybe you should stop shilling if even a degenerate like me can see it.
