Trump vs Biden

Three tangible differences between Trump and Biden:

1. Biden is more of a warmonger. His Senate record shows 100% support for war, every chance he got. Trump seems a bit nervous about war, at least some of the time. But Biden is unequivocally for it. If he's elected, we can expect a lot more war deaths. War against Venezuela and Syria will be virtually guaranteed. Biden has made that clear.

2. Although Biden may de-emphasize the most blatantly racist elements of Trump's policies, the media will flat-out ignore virtually EVERYTHING that Biden does. Things may not be quite as bad for many minority groups, but there will be a blackout on abuses - which means that many of the people who've been abusing children in cages, for example (cages which Obama and Biden BUILT, mind you) will be able to escalate that abuse with impunity.

3. Biden stole our votes. There is no greater crime imaginable against democracy. For all his shittiness, Trump didn't do that. Biden and the DNC undermined the democratic electoral system and rigged the primaries a second time. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm damned if I'm going to give my vote to the people who've made it clear that they have nothing but contempt for the democratic process - and for all the causes that I support.

One final point in which Biden and Trump are effectively the same: climate change. With his "middle ground", fossil-fuel-friendly approach, Biden has made it overwhelmingly clear that "nothing will fundamentally change on climate policy. Which means a death sentence for humanity. Trump and Biden are cyanide and arsenic. When offered a choice between the two, the sane response isn't to look for minor harm reduction. It's to yell "FUCK NO!" and fight like hell.

If we want to live, our only option is revolution. Voting means nothing any more. Vote if you want; like masturbation, it's meaningless but harmless. But the age of mass protest is coming. Get ready for the revolution.
