Nice try tankie Biden is still less embarassing than trump was
I work in Finance in London, lol, tankie is nice. You will keep saying what you said even after Biden shits his pants live on CNN. Do you fam, I dgaf.
And they'd still be correct, I would prefer a man who shits himself on live television every single day, over Trump. No contest. I'd vote in a potted cactus before I vote Trump. What the fuck is wrong with you.
I would vote for a cactus before either of them. We had a lettuce outlast a PM over here a short while ago. But you are blind if you see any fucking difference between them, dude.
Like, I was telling my 2 year old last night he could have the dinosaur Pj's or the elephant Pj's for bed. But it was IMPLICIT that he is going to bed.
Similarly, it is IMPLICIT that you and all other Americans are going to be exploited, and brown people are going to be killed, but you can pick the red guy to do it, or the blue guy.
And that is no excuse to explicitly support the far more vocal and exploitative of the two, cheering forth the exploitation and murder because "BoTh sIDeS aRe GoiNg tO DO iT!" Fuck that. One side at least has the decency to appear publicly shameful of it. The other revels in it, where the cruelty is the point. If both sides are the same then I'm going to pick the side with a veneer of civility because to do otherwise is to give up entirely on any hope for a future. If both sides aren't the same then we all know which color is going to end up on the right side of history, that isn't even a question. So regardless how IMPLICIT it is that America is fucked up shit creek, it's also EXPLICIT that the average voter doesn't get much of a say in it and we can only either vote for ineffective neoliberalism, or vote to actively set our own faces on fire.
"I hate the way everything is. Candidate A will make everything mostly stay the same, shitty garbage that I'm used to. Candidate B will make everything that I hate several times worse, as well as present new and novel problems we've never even known about before now, as well as inventing new non-issues to pad his own pockets with culture war profits. There is no candidate C. You know, I'm seriously considering voting for Candidate B." is a brain damaged take, end of story.
Opinions like yours is what brought you BoJo and Brexit. Forgive me if I don't want to entertain them across the pond.
A "veneer of civility" is all that's needed to buy your vote? A 'veneer of civility' over a fucking genocide? Listen to yourself, you sound so proud of that shit. .
Fuck that. You KNOW the truth about Biden and about the US political establishment and the only reason you vote for Biden is because you are too much of a coward to look reality in the face. You grab on to this fucking 'veneer' like you are stix2your fingers in your ears and squeezing your eyes shut and shouting "Aaah I can't hear you LLALALLALALALA", and then you act all sanctimonious like you are better people than Trump supporters. You are not.
And no, people believing a bunch of hokum and lies was what bought on Brexit and BoJo. Not very different from the copium you are smoking.
That's an awful large wall of text to tell everyone you haven't listened to anything that's gone on in many years. If you think Trump is about to somehow magically resolve this genocide that he's been actively egging on from the sidelines, please learn to read.
I do know the truth about the US political establishment, I fucking live here, you goon. And the truth is that until the civil war starts, we are reduced to voting for the lesser evil. Anything else is causing more active harm to ourselves and our fellow humans for no gain.
So yes, I will vote for Biden, because I'm not being presented a better option. Once the blood starts spilling on American soil that may end up a different story. But for right now? This both sides bullshit is actively killing people and making the entire world worse, both here and overseas.
I remember when Trump was in office, I remember what he said and did and what he's promised will happen next time. I'm not about to let that happen again. If my options are 40% evil or 99% evil I'm picking the 40% every time, no question, from a purely utilitarian viewpoint.
We fought a war so we didn't have to hear your shit takes.
Apparently you didn't win hard enough, pookie.
