    It’s definitely worrying as I sit here North of my American brothers and sisters, to see the sheer amount of “Yeah but Biden sucks”. Sure 100% agree, but you’re welcoming in Orange Hitler if you don’t vote, or vote Republican.

    So definitely worrying sleeping beside this particular elephant.

      The elephant will do damage to the whole fuckin world if he gets elected, including but not limited to wielding the military in a way that I bet will cause disasters we didn’t even really have on the radar as possibilities before they arrived.

      So don’t worry. Being close up to the carnage probably won’t make it any worse, and being far away wouldn’t make it any safer.

        Everyone who paid attention during 2020 and has read the Project 2025 plans should know that this will happen.

        But it doesn’t even have to be malicious, though he will for sure be malicious, stupidity is enough. A million people died because Covid was so much worse here than it could’ve been, all because he was too petty to say “Put on a mask, save your country” which his base would’ve inevitably eaten up.

        But no, his stupidity caused a million avoidable deaths.

            Joe Biden does not stand in the way of democratic processes. I assure you, he won’t falsely claim voter fraud or incite an insurrection if he loses the election. Trump has done that in the past. He’s also proven to be a liar and a rapist. Besides, elitism does not make a dictator. While dictators usually are elitist, in actuality, they define themselves through a totalitarian regime aka them being able to do as they wish without consequences. Something Trump and his Supporters have also claimed they want. Very recently.

            And sure, Biden might not make politics for everyone and he most definitely is not the best man for the job, but he doesn’t just make politics for rich white men as Trump does, who, for example, wants to undo anything the Obama and later the Biden administration did for social security, healthcare, etc. You know, the structures average people profit most of. Those who are not the “elite”. Not to speak about Trump’s and the Republican Party’s stance on various minorities.

                Sure, Biden might be an elitist in democrat clothing. As I said, he definitely isn’t perfect and definitely not the best man for the job. But you know what he is not? He is not a far-right, misogynist, racist, homophobe, elitist, openly anti-democratic, bought-by-russia rapist, liar and traitor who wears most of those traits very openly.

            I wish he was nearly as useful and as progressive as you think he is, because whatever version of Biden you have in your mind, I want some of that

                This is honestly one of the most stupid things I’ve read in recent times on Lemmy. This take is so brain-dead that I worry for you. For any of what you wrote to make sense it takes a level of propagandization that would make Reagan and orange Hitler cum in each other’s pants. Thank you for setting the bar so high for morons everywhere.

                  Amoxtli describes themselves as

                  a colective social-capitalist. What does that mean? believe capitalism is the best economic system to have, though not perfect, it can be utilized, based on reason, for the common, & greater good. I abhor the self-centered individual rights of Western culture and law.

                  Who the fuck describes themselves that way? This has to either be a troll or a bot. And if it really is a person, they aren’t worth engaging with. Just report, block and move on.
