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.

That’s not a very high bar

Hypothetically, Trump's second term could be worse than his first term, so if Biden's first term is basically as bad as Trump's first term then maybe Biden's second term would be better than Trump's? Maybe? Honestly at this point its arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Crazy to think this could be the 8th and final year of the Sanders admin. Would democrats be entirely different people if they didn't have to be so invested in the Trump/Biden dichotomy?

I think about that sometimes too, had the DNC not undemocratically ran Hillary, we'd likely be in a better position than we are now.

Oh well, accelerationist time! Trump go zoooommmmmm

Interesting to think about if Trump would have been a spent force with a loss in 2016.

Trump gave out checks that made life easier for a month or two while Biden said maybe masks and vaccines don't kill you, the virus does.

I legit can't think of a distinction other than that either.

A jury would never convict Trump of keeping classified documents because his fan base is a cult. A jury would never convict Biden of keeping classified documents because he's a kind old man who forgets things sometimes. It's pretty clear who the lesser evil is.

I don't understand the point you are making

[-] SovietyWoomy@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

A dumb joke about the special counsel report on Biden's handling of classified documents while out of office

We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory

Is the point of the “lesser evil” part that we can’t tell what you meant?

"MUH LESSER EVIL"
