good leftists dont engage with false equivalencies.
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.
Equating Biden and Trump is a false equivalency. Both are bad. But one is magnitudes worse. It’s ok to compare and judge them. Biden is flawed. Trump is uniquely evil.
A dumpster fire is bad. An out of control wildfire is worse. There’s no reason not to recognize that one thing is worse than another, even if both are bad.
Ratcheting up tensions with Russia, likely precopitating the SMO.
Restoring some competence to the imperial machine. More military actions flying under tge radar, financial weapons being used more effectively to impoverish.
Creating horrible economic conditions for various African countries through blanket sanctions and intimidation.
Cutting COVID benefits and declaring the pandemic emergency over.
Trump isn't uniquely evil. There are plenty of gamergate losers and billionaire ghouls out there. And someone who fits both criteria now owns Twitter. Trump is a figurehead of American fascism, which is the end result of late stage capitalism. Biden is a figurehead of the neoliberalism that leads to people like Trump.
If you think Trump is worse that's fine, it's a debatable point, and not a very important one either way.
But he's not a unique evil. He's not an abberation, he's the consequence of this system. This isn't a wildfire or a unique event, this is another day in the forest of late stage capitalism
