joe biden or donald trump? who would you pick? if you had to measure both men on a scale and determine which one is the lesser evil, who is it?

the answer is, dont engage with this kind of question. both men are unambiguously bad and we shouldnt argue further as to which one you should not vote for, neither one is deserving of a vote, not voting is always an option.

hypothetical questions like this that force you to choose between two bad options, they are actually bad discussions, like you should make a conscious effort to avoid these would you rather questions and try not to ask them.

comrades, especially our fediverse comrades, consider such kind of thoughts haram, do not be making false equivalencies. we do not believe in morality, we do not believe in good and evil, we are communists and our beliefs are derived from theory, nearly everything has a precedence.

    Neither is going to defend you. Their mode of operation is to dispossess you and those around you, creating desperation so that you die of things like treatable diseases or pressures of employment vs. cost of living and that you blame yourself or another scapegoat for why it's happening. If you point the finger at them and get popular enough, they try to destroy you more directly.

    They also mutually benefit from one another. Every 2-4 years they can villify each other despite having 90% agreement with one another, focusing on that 10% to provide the illusion of choice. Every time "change" is needed, you know you're just getting some slightly different capitalist monster in blue or red.

      I guess I should've added a /s in there. I know both are capitalist and agree on 90% of things. The only difference is Biden will wear a pride flag for one month out of the year while Trump will call white supremacist "very good people".

      I might vote but I know it does fuck all and there are more important things to focus on.

          My b. I thought OP was making a funny with:

          We don't engage with false equivalencies

          Immediately followed by

          These two are the same thing
