Ok I’m not even American so I won’t be voting anyway. With that out the way I feel like Biden would be better for the left. Why? Because liberals wouldn’t be able to blame everything on Trump and be smug as fuck. Shit is going down and while the Republicans are in power liberals can pretend that everything thing would be jolly under their presidency. If Biden is president and things are still going to shit the left can actually attack liberalism properly.

Problems with this view?

    Liberals basically assume that the system/capitalism is fundamentally functional and good, with crises, wars, famines, etc being a function of mismanagement of the system.

    They will just point to Trump as the person who mismanaged the system, leading to lasting problems, rather than considering the limitations of the system itself.
