See, Donald trump is a twit, but he’s pretty consistent. He’ll hang around and enable evangelicals, which will make like worse at home, but for foreign policy, he does kind of just hang out and take credit for whatever direction things were already going. Uhm 😐 guys. That’s a lesser evil. Than a competent genocidaire.

    Weird. I wouldn’t exactly call pulling out of the climate accord, attempting to shut down NATO, getting chummy with the Taliban, getting chummy with Putin, getting chummy with Kim jong UN, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, backtracking on normalizing relations with Cuba, stacking the supreme court, etc etc etc ‘whatever direction things were already going’.

      … do you not? Are., they not? The Cold War is over, nato was formed to fight the Cold War. The taliban is in charge actually, idk if you’ve seen. The christofascist right in the US completing their coup de grace and influencing the course to end roe and beyond. … like, Yeah! All of these things are the real trends in the world and our time that the democrats need to acknowledge and build their power around addressing, but they can’t. When we say both sides are the same it’s for this. This incessant need to tie these massive societal shifts that are happening to the character and person of Donald trump.

      President Trump has the foreign policy chops of a wet noodle. The threat that trump poses is rather decidedly not from him personally.

      President Biden has been feigning weakness while fully utilizing the power of the executive office to conduct a genocide.

      Weighted in my mind with Harris’ recent comments on how she will not fight the states for passing anti-transgender laws…,

      ladies and gentlemen, variations there upon, this is where we are. The absolute best thing we can possibly hope for, is another Obama.

      So . Yeah. Fuck Neoliberal Politicians and imperialism.

    You know that dumb kid in class that simply does the opposite of the norm because he’s trying to show he has a big bahrain, but looks like an absolute moron? Trump is that guy, with nuclear codes.

      Right, he’s a monkey wrench for governments in a suit. The only issue being he enables the far right, everywhere.

    Yes but remember to support the blue trolley because at least that one says he doesn’t want to run over us (it is going to).

      Red wants to drag me out of my home and shot me in the street.

      Blue wants to give me better Healthcare coverage.

    This is true in a vacuum, in the current election Trump is aiming for Hitler 2.0 while Harris is a reasonable choice (still a politician…)

    So yeah, a two party system at best means not real difference between the two, and at worst means what we are seeing today.
