    I’m not a VBNMH at all, but this is a stupid take. How is Trump better than Biden on this issue?

        I can give you Korea, but Trump was having weapons smuggled into Venezuela to support the terrorists there. Also, look at Iran and Saudi Arabia . Trump nearly dragged us into a war there. It was only due to sheer luck and chance that Iran was forced to back down. He’s sent more troops to Saudi Arabia. He dropped a Moab on a hideout in the desert. Sure Biden would be another awful neoliberal, and you shouldn’t vote for him, but Trump has caused a lot of damage overall in the 3rd world. He’s launched more drone strikes against Yemen in 2 years than Obama did against Yemen in 8.

        Look at Bolivia, an attempted coup in Venezuela, and going from a diplomatic agreements with Iran to almost starting a war with them

          The least effective coup in history, and Biden would assuredly intervene in Bolivia, as well as Iran

            You really want to make the case that Biden would somehow be worse on Iran?

                Biden’s statements over the last year indicate the former vice president would likely re-enter the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which President Donald Trump abrogated and replaced with a “maximum pressure” campaign aimed at forcing Tehran back to the negotiating table.

                Lmao

                      I'm not, because I'm right. You want to keep Ridin with Biden alongside Richard Spencer, go ahead. I'm gonna keep not doing that.

                        I'm not disagreeing with you here or anything, but I think that Richard Spencer is fairly effective at knowing how much of a piece of shit he is and knowing that his endorsement will hurt certain things.

                        Hasn't he had some like mild endorsements of Glenn Greenwald and stuff? I might be too conspiratorial on it, but it's something to look for.

      I think it's misleading to frame this as "Trump is better" because that implies anything Trump is doing is good.

      Trump isn't good, but we're comparing two flavors of toxic waste here. Trump does like 85% of what the military industrial complex wants, then his brain cells, corroded from 70 years of Carl's Jr. and Wendy's, misfire and he does something counterproductive to their interests, like meet with Kim, or threaten to pull out of Afghanistan by Monday, or suggest in a tweet something everybody knows and can't say, that the military is run by war profiteers.

      So no, Trump isn't good, but that 15% where he says things on a whim while shitting out White Castle on the crapper at 3AM, separates him from Biden, who will just be sealed up into a sarcophagus on January 21, 2021 after taking the oath, never say or do anything again except PR appearances when they prop him up in front of a camera, and give way to let John Bolton et al. take over and coup and drone everything that moves.

      Yes, it is sad that our two choices for president are "war criminal who is really bad at being a war criminal but still kills hundreds of thousands of people", vs. "senile war criminal who knows he is senile and will step out of the way for competent war criminals to loot the planet". It sucks, but that's the decision, and we should look at it critically
