We all know there's no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I'm actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is "Trump bad", some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and "protecting LGBT rights" (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?).

They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

    I know things have been much better under Biden!

    checks notes

    erm... more deportations than 45... border wall construction... more oil drilling than anyone ever... killed rail strikes... prison population all time high... one tiny COVID relief check... Roe struck down during his term... GENOCIDE FUNDING... Etc. Etc. Etc.

    Before you scream "BAHHHH BIDEN CAN'T CONTROL IT ALL" let it be known that he does control the first 4 things and the very last one. He has bypassed congress to give weaponry to Israel and Ukraine, and done many of those things solo. The Democratic party could minimize or end all of the rest. Roe could have been codified like 50 times in the last 30 years and it wasn't. Now they want to blame the SCOTUS for doing what they've wanted to do forever instead of just codifying it. Democrats are funding and creating cop cities. They don't pass anything genuinely beneficial for more than 0.05% of the population. Even for those people, it isn't enough most of the time.

    They're really not that different. Sure, they don't OPENLY say they want to kill trans people. They don't care if it happens though. These establishment fucks are bought by the exact same people the Republicans are. It's time you start believing you live in a fascist dictatorship, you're in one.

    Biden is 99% Hitler, Trump is 100% Hitler is what I'm hearing from Democrats (well they don't admit the Biden part but he objectively is). But Biden is running to the right of Trump, he's doubled down on most of Trump's cruelties. So logically if this trend continues the next Democratic candidate will be 100% Hitler while the next Republican one will be 101% Hitler.

    I don't see how you think this ratchet system of awfulness (Dems block movement to the left, Repubs turn things to the right) is acceptable or worth thinking of as anything but a sham. You don't live in anything but a pretend democracy. What you want doesn't matter. The cruelty and abuse and police state will continue, the violence of a crumbling empire will continue to lash out around the world and increasingly turn inwards with repression. Two hands of the same monster, two wheels on the same machine.

    smuglord You lefties keep screaming about how Biden is total dogshit and represents everything you hate, but have you considered that maybe it's your fault that he loses because he's a genocidal shitlord because you didn't show up to vote for him anyway?
