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?

The governments of many EU countries are worried about him which hopefully leads to less US influence in EU politics.

I fear that might be too optimistic. It's a double win for libs. Trump's reactionary rhetoric and policies further the interests of the global capitalist class much more bluntly and quickly than the usual liberal channels, but then when it's done they can blame every evil act on him and use it as a rallying cry for more supporters. That's how it is in the US, and I suspect the US sets the standards for the EU more than even its critics would like to admit.
