    I’m starting to believe the worse guy isn’t much worse after all. I wanted Biden to win because of promised immigration reform. He promised to halt the expansion of the wall. Give a pathway to all the people under DACA suffering in eternal immigration limbo.

    What does he do instead? Continues the Trump administration’s policies of using COVID loopholes to deny people at the border seeking asylum. Then he expands construction of the wall he promised to halt, and meanwhile does a couple photoshoots at the border with CBP officers.

    Of course, absolutely squat was said about DACA or the millions of people who were filled with hope in 2020 after Biden won. Now we know the hope was a scam. It was all an illusion. A mirage.

    My main reason I don’t want Trump is because he is racist and xenophobic against Latin Americans. But if Biden is following in his footsteps virtually exactly…

    Why should I give a shit who becomes president? I don’t like Trump but there’s no way I’m voting for Biden. I want him to lose. I want the Democrats to realize they can’t just do this forever. I want them to change their strategy. If I vote for Biden and he wins, they learn nothing. They will continue lying and being hypocrites forever.

      If Trump wins, you may never get a chance to vote for another president.
      Trump is a narcissistic sociopath, to even try to compare the 2 on the level of evil they are capable of, is extremely naive. Also Trump is a traitor who is willing to sell out American interests to Putin.
      You may be disappointed with Biden, but there is zero doubt he is the lesser of 2 evils by far. Especially if you are not a billionaire.

        what is the difference between not being able to vote and being forced into voting for one candidate you hate?

        i think you are the one being naive. trump cannot be the eternal boogeyman that justifies giving the democrats a blank check to do whatever they want. they are both equally shit. trump’s a xenophobic racist who was aspirations to be another mussolini, biden actively supports genocide and does not give a single fuck about the people who put him in power.

        there is no lesser evil here. just two different types of evil

          You’re right. Getting beat with a bat isn’t really that different from getting punched in the gut. Thank you for all your incredible logic. I really needed it.

            to follow your analogy, if you have to choose between two different forms of violence then you don’t actually have bodily autonomy. you don’t have a choice of “no violence”.

            the logic is there, even if you choose to dismiss it

              Oh! I get it. So all we need to do is not be in the reality that we’re in and we wouldn’t have this choice. Thank you. I was getting anxious about the possibility that Trump would be our president again. We can have better choices if we change the reality in which we live.
