I don't want to hear any shit about me shilling for Biden, because I'm not. Fuck Biden. Need to get this off my chest though.
I want fascists around the world to feel what we felt the night Corbyn lost, when we found out Bernie had a heart attack, when he conceded defeat like a coward.
Because they haven't felt anything but power and hate for the past 5 years.
The wave of fascist parties taking hold in Europe and parts of South America were buoyed by what happened on our stolen land. We showed them what was possible and we need to do that again, except in an explicit rejection of rightwing fascism.
I want Trump to be buried alive (electorally) so we can take (online) pilgrimages to piss on his (campaign's) grave.
I want Biden to be on full display 24/7 so that the entire world realizes what a joke neoliberalism is and we can finally destroy it.
I want to build real power and bully libs and tell them that we don't have to take their shit because "The dang cheeto" is no longer in the White House and we're not fucking around, and all of the harm that is happening to people around the world is because their guy is a failure.
I feel at this point leftist orgs need to own up to their anti-fascist claims and do the bare minimum of calling for Trumps removal, even if they also denounce Biden in the process.
Anyways. Have a nice night, comrades. Stay safe and stay hydrated.
QUICK EDIT: I also wanna see the left organize an anti-war movement rivaling the leadup to Iraq under a Democratic president the minute Sleepy Joe tries to pull some shit. That would fucking slap.
Misinterpreted and I'm dead tired but this was just an example, not "wishing genocide" or some other weird shit.
ANOTHER EDIT: People seem to be implying that I am saying "vote for Biden".. I'm not, I am expressing my own views and feelings on the current state of hell, though it should NOT be controversial to want to remove a literal fascist from office on a leftist internet community.
That this is upvoted here is fucking depressing
I saw this post like 5 minutes after I posted this, it's also upvoted and has the same sentiment. I'm not saying Biden is good here, read the damn post.

I read the damn post including the fucked up shit in your edit
I fucking despair for the american left
Summarize the alternative for me?
People have already told you, no point in adding to the pile
Nobody has been able to convince me that having Trump in office for another 4 years fanning the flames of fascists who live all around me (literally 4 out and proud fascist families on my street) is better than a neoliberal clown from being able to continue the status quo.
Can you do that?
simply speaking, you're thinking somehow 2016 brought fascism down upon america, and that's not how it works
fascism arises as capitalism decays - it's caused by the deteriorating material conditions of the working class, and this time it was brought by the failure of neoliberalism, meaning people like biden are the direct cause of people like trump
as he won't do shit about the actual cause of fascism - those deteriorating material conditions, which will keep worsening - electing biden will be useless, even if you think about electoralism at all, as it will just open the way for the fascists to win again, either in the midterms or 2024
voting for someone else has the slight chance of bringing an alternative to light so that people can start seeing that the left can present an anti-establishment alternative that is better than the faux-alternative presented by the fash, so it's a far more rational choice, regardless of where you live
It's our job to fight fascism regardless of the outcome in 2020.
And I never said anything about myself voting or anybody here voting in my post. I am voting green myself.
Better stated here than in my OP, because honestly I was a little on edge after a convo with my recently lib -> fash convert relative when I made this post. Maybe a better idea of where I am coming from here.

It is our job to fight fascism, but here's the thing: this election stopped mattering on that front when the DNC kneecapped the democratic process to install a mass murdering rapist who contributed directly to the rise of the police state and is currently running an early 2000s Republican-style law and order campaign. That's your antifascism right there, says the ruling class. I'm not being pithy when I say that fascism has already won this election in one way or another, and our energy is best focused elsewhere.

Trump already is droning more people than Obama and closing relations with Latin America.
