Holy fuck I hope he loses and Trump gets another 4 years
The shitlibs that talk about "hArm ReDuCtIoN" I would genuinely like their opinion on the fact that Trump is destroying US prestige and US ideology (ie. ruthless capitalism)
And how they think Biden will benefit them: a man who oversaw the concentration camps on the Mexican border and whose 8 years of neoliberalism has pushed so many people to far right politics
Like what do these "hArm ReDuCtIoN" types think they'll achieve by legitimising Biden?
4 more years of ruin of the working class before an actual ideologically driven fascist comes to power?
The one coherent harm reduction argument for Biden is that he will be worse at mobilizing non state violence against minorities. The proud boys and whoever else aren't going to be as quick to hit the streets to defend the system when the president is someone they're convinced is a Communist.
I don't think this weighs more than how much damage will be done by Biden starting a bunch of new imperialist projects. I'm not that comfortable with betting on Trump's lack of attention span to prevent that though, and could imagine someone not willing to accept that as a difference between them.
I think most harm reduction libs are worried about damage to norms and the "respectability" of the office, though.

The phenomena of far right militia-types on the streets is related to the erosion of the base which filtiers into the Superstructure of society due to the US economy failing due to neoliberal economics
"Proud boys" and class consciousness are now a permanent phenomena now due to the systematic impoverishment of the American working classes.
Just as BLM became popular under Obama due to those same policies hitting the more marginalised black community first.
Street violence against minorities will continue whether Biden or Trump gets into power.
