This is not me saying at all that Trump is better than Biden; it's more of an equalization argument that I truthfully can't see a fiscal difference.

It's been well known by people like us that the two bourgeois parties are basically the same, but I never really understood how close they were until the last like, 6 months.

Maybe it's JUST Biden that's super similar. But regardless, I just don't see the difference. He spews nice words about trans rights, workers, all of these good things. But the exact same shit that happened under Trump basically happened under Biden. Funding for genocidal states, proxy war funding, funding police, loss of abortion federal protection, separation of kids and parents at the border, etc.

People keep saying Biden is marginally better, where?

I don't know. I can't bring myself to vote for any of these guys this time around.

    Here it is, straight from 1980, https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1980/03/15/carter-unveils-plan-to-fight-inflation/e4ec33d5-0060-4aa7-b7eb-b29770cd0434/

    Read the whole thing, it talks about the predicted recession that these "reforms" were intended to bring about.

          Thanks for that. I've heard that Carter largely started the neo-liberal "slash and burn" economics that most attribute to Reagan, but I hadn't actually seen any direct sources on it before now.
