    As far as I can tell, the crisis we are dealing with is completely beyond what the ruling class is capable of dealing with, and I would love for a some of the blame to land on the tightwad liberals instead of them being able to pawn the whole thing off on Trump.

    Trump will lead to instant chaos, Biden will lead to liberalism being discredited on a much deeper level. Therefore, Biden is the accelerationist play for the 4D hyperchess grandmaster.

    If Trump wins, the liberals will be able to cling to the notion that "this isn't how liberal democracy is supposed to work," and they will be waiting in the wings to attempt a "liberal restoration" before we ever have the chance for revolution. If Biden wins, people will realize that no such restoration is possible, and they will bear witness to "the best liberalism has to offer" in the face of a crisis.

    That said, I will be voting for neither.

      Exactly. Liberals are selling a lie that everything will be fine once we get Trump out of office. We are not fine, things will be a lot worse for the working class in America in 4 years, regardless of the president. Because Democrats don't want to address the real, systemic issues that are causing the American Empire to collapse in on itself. And these people are gonna really take it out on Biden and the Democrats in 4 years.

      Frankly I think Bernie winning the nomination may have been the monkeys paw for the left. Kinda glad he lost. Had he won, most likely scenario is that while he gets social democratic ideas out there in the mainstream, he wouldn't have been able to make much improvement in folks' material conditions in 4 years. Then libs and conservatives alike would have absolutely slandered the left and we'd be worse off in 2024 than in 2020.
