Careful if you play that game- I imagine for many people, not without considerable reason, Trump is by far the lesser evil. Biden literally seems to be the “smash and burn, and accelerate towards WW3” candidate- and for all Trump’s bigotry and proto-fascism (issues for domestic policy, and for minorities- saying that as someone who’s trans and Asian- ethnic Chinese myself), and how pro-Israel he is (not like he could feasibly do more harm than Biden in that regard)- I’d argue he’s the saner, more capable candidate (not a high bar at all).
If someone wanted the US to continue existing as a country with some semblance of prosperity in the future (I don’t)- honestly, they should probably pick Trump. He at least seems to be a genuine nationalist, and someone who can imagine gradually withdrawing from the empire. Biden and the neolibs/neocons are either wholly and irredeemably deranged, or (more likely/more often) corrupt beyond even Trump’s measure, and stuffing their pockets (and that of the MIC), and gambling on maintaining their “thousand year reich” with all intent to flee to New Zealand or the Caribbean when and if everything goes to hell.
And who was the first US President to stand on a union picket line? Only ten minutes… but still. Would you rather vote for the semi-proworker candidate, or the clearly pro billionaire boss man candidate?
True I suppose… I’d much rather be door knocking and voting for someone in the squad. But what candidate / party wants to repeal voting rights, which candidate is middle-out versus golden shower trickle down, what VP forced Obama to support LGBTQ in the military, which candidate is for reproductive freedom, which one is for student loan forgiveness, which one got infrastructure done and the CHIPS act pushed through, and which one not only accepts global warming and vaccine science but got the strongest climate protection on the planet passed. It’s not the lesser of two evils, it’s a half-progresive / half-neoliberal with many questionable policies… against a narcissistic christo-nationalist fascist alleged billionaire who tried to undermine the Constitution and who would simply love it if the youth, the minorities, the socialists would sit this election out.
I can understand voting as damage reduction but actually canvassing? For someone who isn’t damage reduction and so doesn’t deserve a vote under that catchphrase, either?
How have student loan forgiveness and reproductive freedom gone under the blue team?
Minorities? What about Muslims and/or Palestinians.
The constitution? Is that what they’re building in Cop City?
Watching the US decline is going to be entertaining. All Biden had to do was be less horrific than Trump. Apparently neither he nor his advisors could figure out how to make that work.
I want my election choice in 2024 to be Omar vs. Tlaib. But instead, it’s Biden vs. Trump… and sitting this one out is still choosing.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are also imperialist scum
Because they both have publicly fought against the passage of the NDAA?
no, because they vote for and publicly support US imperialism
How so? It’s just not participating in a phony charade.

“strongest climate protection on the planet”… Hahahaha, quit the drugs!!!
