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.

I'll use the liberal attempts to remove Trump from the ballot as an example. Liberals cook up a way to use existing structures to legally sabotage Trump's electoral chances, and when the Court blocks them they will just give up because they'll respect the Court's decision. They're ideologically committed to it.

If the Court somehow finds in Colorado's favor and lets them remove Trump (they won't but let's pretend), Republicans would retaliate by removing Biden from their ballots for no legal reason. They'd just do it, they don't care about legality or the Court's legitimacy, only results.

I see your points but I'm not sure that Republicans would have the power to do that.

They might not! But they'd definitely try because they don't care about the law and see it as the toothless obstacle it really is.
