This is not me saying at all that Trump is better than Biden; it’s more of an equalization argument that I truthfully can’t see a fiscal difference.

It’s been well known by people like us that the two bourgeois parties are basically the same, but I never really understood how close they were until the last like, 6 months.

Maybe it’s JUST Biden that’s super similar. But regardless, I just don’t see the difference. He spews nice words about trans rights, workers, all of these good things. But the exact same shit that happened under Trump basically happened under Biden. Funding for genocidal states, proxy war funding, funding police, loss of abortion federal protection, separation of kids and parents at the border, etc.

People keep saying Biden is marginally better, where?

I don’t know. I can’t bring myself to vote for any of these guys this time around.

    Trump might Mr Magoo his way into better policy by a combination of ignorance, incompetence, and contrarian willfulness. Biden will die in office after nuking Gaza because he has a dementia episode and thinks Hamas killed his son.

      The Trump admin was so incompetent that I think they had a net positive on foreign policy by bungling so many things. Lots of Latin American countries seemed to make progress that would normally have been suppressed by American influence in one form or another. I feel like Hillary wouldn’t have let the whole Juan Guaido thing get so embarrassing.

      Yeah, no, Trump will enact worse policy across the board. And dementia, really? Cause he had showed such decline that he had to take a cognitive aptitude assessment, right? Oh, wait a minute, that was the other guy.

      Choices are an orange moron who very definitely will make things worse, and an aging career politician, no doubt owned by corporate interests, but who might keep things close to status quo.

        The status quo is aiding genocide. I do not care to maintain it.

        I hope both of them die before the election so you assholes are forced to stop making these tortured excuses and have to scramble to figure out how to paint the opposition as the next most dire threat to this farcical democracy. At least I won’t have to hear about how fucking orange that one is all the time though I’m sure you’ll latch on to some other meaningless shit to run into the ground.
