      Honestly- aside from tokenism for (mainly LGBT rights) which even then is hilariously insufficient, is there a single thing Biden can be called the “lesser evil” in nowadays? Honestly I suspect Trump is possibly the lesser evil by a considerable margin- and not just in foreign policy at that (though a turd is a turd- I don’t believe in voting for the “lesser evil” or the joke that is electoralism, period).

        Remember when the professionals were saying that Trump was an incompetent fascist and we should be worried about is the competent fascist that would come after him? Biden is that competent fascist.

          Biden is that competent fascist.

          That’s certainly my take on it, though I’d not describe it as a “solely Biden” thing. Trump is the excuse that it seems the entire establishment wanted- traditional Dems and Republicans alike- to go full fash, if you ask me- all while fearmongering about the orange wannabe-fascist. (And Trump is a proto-fascist at least, yes- but the actions of Biden et al. are far worse at this point, and only accelerating further).

          Hell, he’s the excuse the government here (as a Canadian) wanted as well. The common saying is that fascism would come to the US holding a bible and waving the flag or whatever- and while that remains partially true, it seems the faux-progressives (as a actual progressive myself) and those pretending to “protect democracy” are the infinitely worse threat.
