Moronic. If you can't see the difference in US governance between now and this time last year, there's something deeply wrong with you (or, to be fair, you live in Gaza.)

there is a cure for political illiteracy

Funny. I don't remember Joe Biden imprisoning and deporting hundreds of legal residents and visa-holders without warrant or trial, dismantling education, science, and health organizations, withdrawing vital funding from said endeavors, colluding with Congress, threatening journalists and law firms with retaliation, tanking the economy with tariffs, trying to make the existence of trans people illegal, giving tax cuts to billionaires, dismantling consumer protection agencies, setting up a pro-Evangelical office to investigate Christian "persecution," and cozying up to literal Nazis. Just to name a few.

But he did support Israel, so I guess they're exactly the same. /s

you're fighting a strawman

Okay. What makes you think that?

From the headline:

People worry that 'moderate' Democrats like Joe Biden are the same as Republicans. Our study suggests they might be right.

  • P1: People worry that moderate Democrats are the same as Republicans.
  • P2: Joe Biden is a moderate Democrat.
  • P3: Study suggests moderate Democrats and Republicans might be the same.
  • C: Joe Biden might be or is the same as Republicans.

What did I miss?
