It is good that the idea of peace talks with Russia is gaining more mainstream support. It should have had full support from the beginning. It's only due to propaganda that opposing endless escalations between nuclear superpowers isn't the most mainstream normie position ever.

Probably goes without saying but anyone who believes Trump would be meaningfully better than Biden on any issue that matters didn't pay attention when he was president.

I'm not a multipolarist, I'm an omnipolarist "- I think everyone on earth should have an equal amount of power. I want 8 billion equal poles. Multipolarity is just the practical lesser evil to unipolarity, because it turns out unipolarity requires constant war and nuclear brinkmanship to maintain.
People say multipolarity necessarily requires wars as well, but that's not true. There's no reason powers like China and the US can't get along and collaborate in everyone's interest. The only thing stopping that is the US empire's desire to keep chasing total unipolar planetary domination.
I'm always reluctant to commit to other people's -ists and -isms, but I'm definitely big on omnipolarism and information anarchism.
