I hesitate to say that Biden is better than Trump at this point. (lemmygrad.ml)

This is not me saying at all that Trump is better than Biden; it's more of an equalization argument that I truthfully can't see a fiscal difference.

It's been well known by people like us that the two bourgeois parties are basically the same, but I never really understood how close they were until the last like, 6 months.

Maybe it's JUST Biden that's super similar. But regardless, I just don't see the difference. He spews nice words about trans rights, workers, all of these good things. But the exact same shit that happened under Trump basically happened under Biden. Funding for genocidal states, proxy war funding, funding police, loss of abortion federal protection, separation of kids and parents at the border, etc.

People keep saying Biden is marginally better, where?

I don't know. I can't bring myself to vote for any of these guys this time around.

The only thing I can say is that the republican party might have a slightly harder time at pushing Project 2025 if Biden gets reelected. But the agendas and policies will be the same, and republicans will still control most local governments. And the fact that democrats are roughly equal to republicans in their evilness.

I didn't even consider that most localities are controlled by Republicans. That's wild

Yeah, it's infuriating.

My "progressive" governor with Dem supermajorities in the state legislature sounds indistinguishable from a Republican when talking about the migrant "crisis" that's apparently straining every resource in our deep blue state (though in fairness, they've managed to keep the mask hanging on by a thread and haven't compared anyone to animals publicly).

Listening to them pout about the horrid immigration bill not passing doesn't inspire much confidence that we'd be following another track if there were a different ghoul in the White House. Maybe more performative brow-furrowing to Trump's uncivil tone and gestures, but in the end they'll gladly accept more money for more boots on more necks.
