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.

As someone who thankfully doesn't have the awful electoral choice that Americans do (I'm in the UK so although the choice is dire, it's not frighteningly dire), the question I usually ask myself is "Which presidential candidate will result in the fewest deaths?" and, in this case, that seems to me to be impossible to answer.

That said, in terms of "fitness" for office, Biden is literally a candidate who is unfit for office. Just this week he mixed up the border between Gaza and Egypt and spoke of it as "the Mexican border". And he also mixed up Macron with Mitterrand... it's really frightening. What's he going to be like in one year, let alone two or three?
