1/ I hear two things touted as reasons to vote for Trump: “The economy is good” (pre-pandemic) and “he hasn’t started any new wars.” But...

2/ Even pre-pandemic 40% of Americans couldn’t afford $400 unexpected expenditure. You can’t call that GOOD. ‘17 $2T tax cut gave $.83 of each dollar to richest corporations & individuals. You can’t call that GOOD. All prescriptions for/ maintainers of enormous income inequality.

3/ Re “he hasn’t started any new wars,” his Pentagon budget this year alone was $760 Billion. They’re not using that to go around the world building peace parks! They don’t have to be “starting new ones” to be continuing the reign of American militarism (both parties on that one)

But it's still a true statement.

Not to mention use of force against own people peacefully protesting.

You mean the $760 Billion the democrats practically fell over in their hurry to vote for. What are we gaining by voting for a war mongering right wing nut job again?

Uh well, unless you want to talk about the war he started in America against democracy. Specifically peaceful protesters being beaten and jailed for exercising their constitutional rights to assemble. While ignoring white terrorists and even encouraging the violence.

The only time the Democrats put up any protest was making sure that when they continued to give him his military budget, that he not leave Afghanistan. All on the false outrage of Russian bounties that you yourself believed. That Biden still parroted during the debate.

Him vetoing the bill to stop arming Saudi Arabia for their genocide in Yemen after it passed through the house AND senate is one of the worst things he did. I hate that it’s never mentioned on the list of his horrible actions.

Biden has indicated that he’ll increase the military budget. Just like Obama. Biden was talking WMDs and invading Iraq before Bush was elected. He is 100% a cog in the military-industrial machine. PLEASE DONT LIE ABOUT THIS!! We have to be ready to protest War on day 1.

Joe Biden has indicated he would increase the war budget further. And the Democrats not only voted to increase the war budget - including a f*cking SPACE FORCE, they refused to vote for a miniscule TEN PERCENT cut to it. Can we stop playing these dumb games now?

That $400 was less under the Obama Biden Administration That defense budget is why the world is in its 'long peace'
