Guys. Vote in your interests. Sure Biden might be a complicit war criminal but the other guy is a domestic criminal who would be an enthusiastic war criminal given half a chance.

Secure your country from the Putin's pet orangutan for another four years, then rake Biden across the coals.

If we're lucky, we won't have to deal with either of them in 2028.

So... When your choices are between two war criminals, your first thought isn't that the system needs change but that we should vote for the war criminal with a track record of war crimes?

The system needs to change, but with one of those criminals it's slow progress in the right direction and with the other it's a sprint towards fascism. Take your pick.

At least there was opposition to Trump when he did his fascism. Biden is literally funding, arming, and defending the modern day holocaust and liberals are still flocking to support him. Anyone who votes for him is just as complicit in the genocide as he is, just as the Germans liberals who voted for the Nazi party were. How are you lot still not-seeing the full picture??

Agreed. Trump's recent rhetoric has been about dictatorship not presidency. It increasingly appears like a trump win would be the last election for a while.

When is your election and what is your plan to "change the system" before then?

Remember when the professionals were saying that Trump was an incompetent fascist and we should be worried about is the competent fascist that would come after him? Biden is that competent fascist. If Trump did half of what Biden did, it would be because he fucked it up half way.

Biden is actually the current figurehead of a very effective facist machine, imo, but I still don't want someone as incompetent as the alternative running the USA. That shit has a major affect on the rest of the world.

First you prevent the orange man from taking office and further accelerating the deterioration of international order -- please -- then you can look into your own country's issues, among which are milking conflict for profit and power (my country is the same, we're just smaller. I'm looking into it!)

Remember, Biden is carrying on the status quo. The USA has a long history of letting shit slide with Israel, long before Biden. It's just that Bibi is an evil trapped rat who has inadvertently "blown up Biden's game."
