    They are likely right that Trump would be worse domestically, that is the dynamic of the system after all. The problem is instead of fighting to make things better they just knuckle under and browbeat and insult anyone who doesn't roll over and piddle on themselves infront of them. The problem is that they ignore the dimensions in which Biden actually is as bad or worse, and they enthusiastically support imperialism. Ultimately the problem with talking politics with left libs is the fundamental fact they don't see the US government as the evil thing it is. They somehow think that they can bend the masters tools for good without also killing the master.

      It's so this right here.

      All American left-lib politics boil down to, "if we would only vote the right people into office all our dreams will come true." Zero critical thought, or introspection on how or why the system keeps producing the same results. You don't even have to look back that far to see how contradictory their vote bullshit is: Obama was swept in with a super majority and where did that get us?

        Its all part of the fake seperation between politics and the economy deeply entrenched in American liberalism. That voting magically fixes things, instead of developing political institutions to regulate the economy and social organisation.

        The liberal virus caused among its victims a curious schizophrenia. Humans no longer lived as whole beings, organizing themselves to produce what is necessary to satisfy their needs (what the learned have called "economic life") and simultaneously developing the institutions, the rules, and the customs that enable them to develop (what the same learned people have called "political life"), conscious that the two aspects of social life are inseparable. Henceforth, they lived sometimes as homo oeconomicus, abandoning to "the market" the responsibility to regulate their "economic life" automatically, and sometimes as "citizens," depositing in ballot boxes their choices for those who would have the responsibility to establish the rules of the game for their "political life."
