    Na if we're going to discuss bourgeois electoral politics then Biden winning is a lose for the world.

    If Trump wins the Deep State (represented by characters like Robert Mueller and the like) will continue sabotaging Trumps presidency, the world will continue to lose respect for the US, an outright break of foreign policy with Europe will likely occur after Merkels remarks (Europe is basically holding its breath for a Biden win)

    All of the above is good for the rest of the world

    If Biden wins the fascist right will get rid of Trump and organise behind a character that likely is ideologically fascist, competant and much more charming

    So in 4 years you'll be exactly where you were now but instead of an incompetant buffoon that hates the CIA in charge you'll have a cold, calculated ideological fascist wholly committed to US empire

    Under Bidens wing of the Dem party the foreign policy will be ridiculously violent to people in the 3rd world just so a few scraps can be thrown to the USians

        That's not how power works. As long as Trump is President the actual power struggle won't occur until he's confirmed he's on the way out

        And quite frankly i think the world looks practically the same whoever wins

        Merkel disagrees with you as Germany looks east due to fraying ties with US

        As Germany reappraises its longstanding reliance on the United States amid growing tensions with Washington over security and trade, there is less doubt among the country’s leaders about the necessity to reenergize its partnership with China, Germany’s largest trading partner.

        If lesser evilism is your thing Trump is it

          counterpoint: my life sucks more if trump wins and at the end of the day that's who I care about most

            Your life is going to suck anyway.

            The economy is about to go into meltdown and the dollar is about to become worthless due to the nonstop money printing

            The difference for you will be that a Dem will take the blame for this in the next 4 years if they're elected whilst the right consolidate into actual fascism vs Trump getting the blame

              the dollar is about to become worthless due to the nonstop money printing

              Are you talking about the Federal Reserve printing money? Because quantitative easing won't cause hyperinflation

      a character that likely is ideologically fascist, competant and much more charming

      Are there any potential candidates that fit these?

      one of the pros of trumo winning is that there will be a revolution sooner
