    So… When your choices are between two war criminals, your first thought isn’t that the system needs change but that we should vote for the war criminal with a track record of war crimes?

      The system needs to change, but with one of those criminals it’s slow progress in the right direction and with the other it’s a sprint towards fascism. Take your pick.

        At least there was opposition to Trump when he did his fascism. Biden is literally funding, arming, and defending the modern day holocaust and liberals are still flocking to support him. Anyone who votes for him is just as complicit in the genocide as he is, just as the Germans liberals who voted for the Nazi party were. How are you lot still not-seeing the full picture??

          What country do you think you live in?? Your entire population has been complicit and BENEFITTED from atrocities perpetrated by your government for decades! Now it’s finally so bad that you can see it and what is the solution? Fuck Biden. Let’s have Trump. Blow it all up. Let it all burn.

          No, you fix what you have. Because power vacuums get filled by the most ruthless person on the block, always.

            Looking for where I said “vote for the other genocidal fascist”: 0/0 results found

            Face it, you’re complicit in genocide. None of the other context changes that.

              You don’t have to vote for the other genocidal facist to let him become the president. Poor voter turnout will work just as well.

              But go ahead, ignore the rest of the context and cherry pick the thing you think you have a response to.

            Man, the cognitive dissonance Americans must have to deal with.

            Sorry you had to find out this way, but it’s been going on for most of your lives if you’d only cared out the rest of the world enough to look past your own borders.

            It’s called american exceptionalism and this idea that you can just blow it up by voting for (or not voting against) the orange guy is just another example of it.

            Fixing what you have is hard work. Burning it all down is a child’s response and will fuck the rest of the world up.

        Agreed. Trump’s recent rhetoric has been about dictatorship not presidency. It increasingly appears like a trump win would be the last election for a while.
