    Trump, without the shadow of a doubt. I'll quote my old post I did regarding this.

    "Hot take, Trump is the least damaging of the two. The mismanagement of the Empire being so immense that it can only result in the collapse of US hegemony accross the globe. I’m not saying Biden will directly be worse than Trump, they’ll not stop deportation, wars, and probably go ahead to prosecute anarchists and BLM protesters; but what makes Biden a horrible president is that he’ll be doing absolutely NOTHING to fix inherent issues plaguing the US, and I can garantee you, he’ll try and smother left-wing voices with “concessions”. A Trump victory would discredit completely mainstream democrats to the eyes of the population, and add more fuel to a bad situation, thus paving the way for the revolution. Trump will, without a doubt, keep doing what he’s doing, but ask yourself if anything would change under Biden. Would the economy get better ? Nah, or just marginally. Would fossil fuel industries and fracking be stopped ? Nope. And the list goes on and on. Biden simply doesn’t provide as much of a guarantee for a revolution in the next 10 years, Trump however, definitely does."

    Anyone who thinks Biden will make things better for the left is deluded. He doesn't even pay fucking lip service to social democracy right now, thinking his presidency will work for us is plain wrong.

      Not saying I disagree, but what about the idea that Biden will so actively work to NOT fix underlying problems that by 2024, as things have only gotten worse, the establishment Dems and neoliberals will be so roundly discredited that it will open up a lane for leftists?

        As another post explained, it is indeed a possibility. But however, BIden is likely surrounded by more competent henchmen, and would thus be able to counter (somewhat) systemic issues, saying that's all they can do, and going farther left isn't going to solve the issue, and that they have to take it slow, you know, the usual gradualist bullshit.
