We all know there's no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I'm actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is "Trump bad", some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and "protecting LGBT rights" (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?).

They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

Biden is 99% Hitler, Trump is 100% Hitler is what I'm hearing from Democrats (well they don't admit the Biden part but he objectively is). But Biden is running to the right of Trump, he's doubled down on most of Trump's cruelties. So logically if this trend continues the next Democratic candidate will be 100% Hitler while the next Republican one will be 101% Hitler.

I don't see how you think this ratchet system of awfulness (Dems block movement to the left, Repubs turn things to the right) is acceptable or worth thinking of as anything but a sham. You don't live in anything but a pretend democracy. What you want doesn't matter. The cruelty and abuse and police state will continue, the violence of a crumbling empire will continue to lash out around the world and increasingly turn inwards with repression. Two hands of the same monster, two wheels on the same machine.
