    I hate that 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler shit. if the election is between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler you are morally obligated to tear this awful system down and start over again

    Smol bean Democratic Party being forced to do the thing they wanted

    "The border crisis" has been and is the most manufactured, fake-ass narrative for way too long now.

    All of that capital is going to waste on putting children in concentration camps here and exploding them abroad.

    And liberals will argue, straight-faced, that America isn't the most evil, most terroristic nation on earth. Fucking crying about Russia meanwhile we fund Israel. We fund this racist, border goon squad whose only job is to detain and hunt down brown people and demand to see their little pieces of paper.

    AmeriKKKa etc.

      it's not a crisis, it's an intentional policy to keep the price of "unskilled" labor (that the US needs) low by allowing the flow of labor but also making their situation extremely precarious.

        Good example of the interaction between base and superstructure. Unskilled labor is a myth and borders are imaginary lines enforced by state violence, but they both serve to dictate who can be employed where and how much competition they will have.

          also i dont know where and when but i remember seeing a video of agricultural landlords (i dont know what the fuck they're called, farmer doesnt conjure the right image) begging congress to do something about exactly this problem already: they need workers from mexico to work their lands but the US govt makes it hard for them to recruit people. the video was from the early 20th century, like 1920 or something.

          and we're still stuck in the exact same spot a century later

          Unskilled labor is a myth

          I would say that the USA keeps the general status quo because only a tiny percentage of people born in the USA are even capable of field work, while simultaneously they want to pay field workers as little as possible

    At this point it is absolutely debatable which one is worse. Especially when you take into account the Instant Apathy™ of libs when Trump left office.

      The Biden Administration's covid response has somehow been even worse than the Trump Administration's.

      Libs when Trump said covid was no big deal: "This fascist wants to kill us all!!!!! I'll wear my mask to protect myself and others!"

      Libs when Biden said covid is no big deal: "Back to brunch!". And now I can only ever see my leftist friends in person because only they will mask when I ask them to.

    "Democrats propose expansion of inhumane Trump Era policy to expel migrants in order to get Republicans to maybe agree with selling more guns to skinheads"

    As always, the most damning thing one can say about America is factually list off what they're currently doing

    Also, I love how the poor smol bean liberals ALWAYS lick conservative boot. Even when they have majorities everywhere they do it. Almost like they don't actually care about enacting the policies they campaigned on.

    99% Hitler or 100% Hitler

    Which is which? Cause lately it sure seems like Biden is 100% Hitler in this situation and Trump is the harm reduction candidate.

      Say what you want about Trump, at least he's lazy and easily distracted.

    Biden is going to give the GOP everything they want and more in order to get money to Ukraine and Israel.

        It's an unprovable hypothesis since it requires two alternate histories to compare and contrast, and how do you weigh short term vs. long term outcomes? How do you compare increased harm on one group with reduced harm on another group? For example, what if one candidate will increase homophobia while another one will start more islamophobic wars. Which am I supposed to support? It's just vibes based ideology. By attaching themselves to Democrats (by advocating for voting for them) they discredit themselves and make themselves bourgeois collaborators and reformists.

    If you have one Hitler traveling at 50 miles per hour and another Hitler traveling at 55 miles per hour, which one finishes the genocide first.
