Damn. Another struggle sesh on harm reduction? Alright, I'll bite.
To say that Biden will reduce lead to a net reduction of harm is a shit argument because:
If there is going to be a civil war or collapse of the state or anything, it's just as likely to happen with Biden at the helm as it is with Trump. Bidens not turning back the clock to 2010. There's a good argument that Biden winning will actually increase the chances of large scale political violence taking place, since any conflict will likely be started by right-wing groups.
The argument basically accepts that US lives are worth more than the lives of those under the American boot. Biden will 100% be more hawkish than Trump. His foreign policy will be run by a union of liberal interventionists and neocons. Expect more support for right-wing nationalists in eastern Europe to counter Putin and greater support to figures like Modi in an attempt to triangulate against the PRC.
Is Trump actually a dove? No. But he does have some hesitation about large-scale conflict. For all of the rhetoric and grand-standing, Trump understands that the US could lose in war. Biden is the dumbass who believes in American exceptionalism and the righteousness of empire.
Now don't be stupid and vote for Trump. But don't buy into the story that Biden is significantly better either. Both are shit options and the future will be bleak either way.
I'm in third world and I'm not gonna lie, as a queer person, I hate how the absence of anti discrimination legislation or the lack of marriage rights is seen as a worse than bombing brown people.
Do people in the American core think the brown people you're bombing aren't trans or queer? Them being alive to fight another day is a always a bigger victory.
