Easy: even if you vote for Bernie that's still at best center-left. The US just really, really leans right overall: there's center-right (democrats) and far-right (republicans) and that's about it.
You guys are so afraid of socialism no party dares venture the true left.

Joe Biden is now the Nickelback /Big Bang Theory of Presidents.
There's nothing really bad about him, nothing really great, but they've been told to hate on him, so that's what they'll do.
Ill hate his fucking guts as long as I live for his handling of Israel and Gaza

I think your statement is true in a purely national sense. We've had better but we've had worse. Globally, he's majorly dropped the ball and caused too much suffering to ignore.
nothing really bad about him

Added bonus: it's not just socialism that we're afraid of. We fear tons of things now. We've become a nation of fear and boiling hate under the hood and it's truly toxic.
Yes, I've been working to leave for a few years now. My children shouldn't have to grow up in a culture of barely surviving, anxiety & fearful people scrabbling over scraps left to us by the ultra wealthy.
I left 6 years ago and don't regret it for a minute.
Where did you move to?
