        I mean like the last time Biden was in the White House the US was literally making the Genocide of Yemeni Houthis possible.

        Like...

        Biden might not be the end of your world, but he will be the end of the world for many, many people. it might be worse than Obama because they'll need to show "Strength" and "Bolster their presence on the world stage" and "Reclaim America's image" and shit, aka crush dissent and violently re-assert imperial hegemony.

        He's topped Obama's drone numbers and exacerbated existing conflicts so I don't know about that.

            Yeah, Hillary would definitely have gotten us into a war. I have no clue if Biden's going to. I can't do more than hope there. But Trump is making things a lot more violent in the US at the same token, and that violence is largely being directed at people of color, women, and queer people.

          This is literally the argument.

          I don't know how I feel on the Trump v Biden thing in all honesty, but c'mon man...

      To be fair from a minority perspective, it's a weird debate. Trump has actually repeatedly proposed budget cuts to the police. While Biden has not only previously increased funding but plans to increase current budget. 1994 crime bill, anyone? This is very similar to the bill he fathered, wherein "reform" was promised in the form of higher quality policing and more rehabilitative services. This was agreed upon by black leaders as a good bill, until said rehabilitative services were taken out. For AA communities it seems to be history rhyming.

      Personally, I don't think not being a segregationist is a high hurtle to jump.

      The thing is that Biden means death to god knows how many people in the middle East, as does Trump.

      Biden picked a lady as vp that locked away young men for decades for selling weed.

      Biden hasn't made any concrete promises to exploited workers in America.

      Biden supports more fracking.

      Do you really want to support that?

      I mean make no mistake Trump has been hideously ineffectual at a lot of his pointlessly cruel policies, which is good, but he's gotten off a few good victories and they've been fairly painful. Again, insulated champagne socialist motherfuckers.
