    As W.C. Fields said, “I never vote for anybody, I always vote against.”

    Not being Trump should be enough. Trump literally says he’s going to be a dictator. Based on that alone, ignoring every other point about Trump, you should vote for Biden.

      I’m genuinely scared Trump will win. I don’t even live in USA and I’m scared of it happening. I could totally see Trump pulling out of NATO and then lives being lost because of it.

      that would probably be enough for me too if biden hadn’t fucked my life 6 times so far; while trump has only accidentally helped.

          i’m expounding upon my difficulty in justifying my vote for biden; before the genocide i was going to hold my nose and do it and now i’m no longer sure i can even do that.

            Because Trump won’t continue to aid in that genocide despite already saying he would?

            It’s going to be either Trump or Biden. If you don’t vote for Biden, you risk getting the dictator. That should be a very easy choice for you.

              biden is actively enabling a genocide right now and has done something similar for several others in the last few decades as a senator; meanwhile trump has only fantasized about helping a genocide.

              it would be an easier choice it he would just stop helping genociders.

                Again, Trump will be no different on that front. That is simply a non-issue when it comes to which of them to vote for. And, also again, it’s either going to be Trump or Biden.

                  also again: biden has enabled more genocides than than trump ever has.

                    Trump.enabled Russia’s action in Ukraine, which some would say aims to be genocide as well, and on a larger scale.

                    So it’s a choice between genocide, or two genocides and fascism in the US. I know it’s a shit choice, between bad and worse, but one of those two people is going to be elected. Personally I am going to vote against worse.

                    You’re still justifying voting for a dictator over a non-dictator. It should be a simple choice. Either you’re for American fascism or against it. It doesn’t matter what Biden has done. It matters whether or not you want a dictator.
