The notion that Biden represents a lesser evil compared to the chaotic reign of Trump is a common argument. However, we must not forget that there exists a moral threshold below which neither choice is acceptable. To suggest that enabling a literal genocide can be considered a lesser evil is a morally bankrupt stance.
Saying that voting for Biden is a moral obligation to prevent the return of Trump perpetuates a dangerous fallacy. It implies that the democratic party is immune from scrutiny and accountability, no matter the atrocities they commit. This line of thinking allows for a never-ending cycle of justification, as long as there's somebody considered worse, the democrats are granted a blank check. This is nothing more than a form of gaslighting, manipulating the public into believing that their only choice is between two evils, rather than demanding a better standard of leadership and true representation.
I’m not even sold on Biden being the lesser evil to be quite honest
If nothing else, Trump is a lazy moron who pisses off everyone around him and provokes a lot of opposition
When Trump said “Less covid tests means less covid cases” everyone got pissed off. Biden made it policy. Trump wanted to ban TikTok, no one did anything about it and he got lazy and gave up. Biden passed the fucking thing.
The fact that Trump is a lazy slob who makes the liberals incredibly upset makes him marginally better than Biden imo
yeah biden is worse on the border, oil drilling, ukraine, and is an ideological zionist.
when trump does horrible things at least liberals frequently normalize being against them instead of making excuses
I aways like to point out it was the libs who normalized cages at the border not Trump
In 2018 even mainstream dems outside the squad were condemning the atrocity of locked up children, now they're to the right of Trump and want to expand border repression in every aspect
Under Trump libs at least bothered to wear masks. I think if he came back virtue signaling masking would make a comeback (not nearly enough people and probably a lot of cloth masks, but still).
I agree 100% I am European so probably I should stfu about US politics but since here we are living a similar situation with libs supporting genocide and far-right crackheads promising all kind of things (outlawing homosexuality, expelling all immigrants, ban disabled people from classrooms, etc.) I think that experiencing the "worst" is useful to awaken consciences and, moreover, I am so resigned I do not even thing the "worst" can be avoided at this point. People just vote for them.
You forgot a big one which is that Trump said Europe needs to start paying its fair share in nato security, Biden got them to actually do it and on top of that destroyed their energy security.
I very much agree, and what makes liberals so upset about Trump is that he just openly says what he's doing. Libs require a level of decorum along with the genocide.
