          you don't know me I live my life trying how to intelligently spread leftism. But my friends, our ability to spread leftism and our communities are more threatened by right-wingers than slighly less right right-wingers.

            more threatened by right-wingers than slighly less right right-wingers

            Do you hear yourself? The threat is the same.

        It aches for neither, don't hope either of them wins you fucking liberal. Kids in Yemen aren't begging for Biden to win.

            It doesn't make a difference though, Biden isn't "harm reduction".

            If you're hoping he wins then you should be voting for him, that's what voting is. But don't fucking vote for him or hope he wins, because he's a right-wing rapist.

              sure he is a right-wing rapist. But not voting for him would enable a far worse right-wing rapist.

                There is no "far worse". They are both shit, they both lead us down the same path to fascism.

                    No, it doesn't. Yemen still gets bombed, kids still get put in cages.

                      What do we do about that? Build momentum with a leftist movement?

              It's not the damn moral choice. Voting for either is immoral. "Harm reduction" is revisionist bullshit that ignores the fact that liberals enable fascists.

              I'm not convinced which one will be worse for the future of humanity yet, and thinking about it is disgusting so I just try to avoid thinking about it, I won't be voting so fuck it. Terrified of 4 years of biden doing 10x more to enrage the right and quell the left than 8 years of obama did

                There is 0 proof that a biden presidency would "enrage" the right. Trumps term has enabled the right sooooo much.

                      I think back on the obama years and what I see are every lib and person who could manage to ignoring absolutely everything and just pretending it was the end of history, racism is over, we won yay, and then not paying attention to anything at all or caring because they were comfortable enough to easily ignore all the monster shit obama and the dems were up to, and the right organized.

                      I worry about that same apathy, that same excuse to look away and ignore everything and pretend it's fine coming back and weakening the center left and strengthening the right even more.

                      Like I said, I don't know if this is an especially valid worry, as I'm a relatively new leftist with enormous holes in my historical context, but again I'm not voting so I don't have to care, just have to wait to see who wins for what I do next

                        It is a valid worry. Biden winning means the Democratic Party accepts conservatism as their new norm. It's another lurch to the right to catch up with Republicans. It does zero good.

                          The democratic party only accepts conservatism as their new norm, because most of the US is a fucking right-wing hellhole and they are afraid that they have to be very much to the right to win any election.

                            The only thing they are afraid of is having to move left. They are happy to move right.

                              I even agree. This goes for both parties though and the republicans already are on alex jones levels of stupid to stay more to the right.

                                Yeah, and if Biden wins, after his term the Democrats will move there too. Hell, Russiagate is already dabbling in conspiracy theory idiocy.

                                Hoping a fascist enabler wins is liberalism.
