First of all, let me say I'm not a us citizen. I wouldn't vote if I had to choose between one rapist or the other. However, I recently talked to my family in Iran and they really hope Biden becomes president. Obama was the first president in modern history, that tried to improve relations with Iran. The nuclear deal brought an upswing and it was the first time you could import and export stuff to Iran. Trump quit this deal immediately and it hurt the people bad. Now, the Embargo is up again. Their currency has lost over 25% since Trump took office. People can hardly get by let alone save anything. Most of my family is what we would call SocDems and are anti Iran government. And even though a nuclear deal makes a revolution a little less probable, the general public would profit tremendously. Also, I think Trump would rather start war with Iran. But maybe that was just Bolten back then.

Just wanted to tell you, since we should have as much knowledge as possible, if we want to have a stand on voting.

    Trump is also accelerating the decline of the imperial core, but it's hard to say, like,

    1. Whether Biden would be just as much a cancer unto our hellstate.
    2. Whether having a president who's going to destroy such a beautiful country as Iran is a trade-off for long-term capitulation of the AmeriKKKan empire.

    It's hard to say. I've just checked out of the whole debate. But either way, Marg bar Amrika and long live Hezbollah.

      It's a devil's bargain, there's no good or right choice. Neither is going to end US imperialism, and either will be "better" for some groups/nations than the other. As leftists if we are to vote we are forced to play diviner on which one will hurt the imperial project more in the long run, which isn't something we can ever really know.
