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.

But again, at this point I find it impossible to judge who is the lesser evil. I think it's a distinction without a difference. If I go by body count, Trump is the lesser of two evils because Biden has murdered so many people over his career.

I mean, we shouldn't forget how botched the response to COVID was in the USA. Not sure if it would've been handled any different had it been Clinton, I could try to force an argument that people cared more about COVID prevention when opposing Trump than under Biden, but keeping hypotheticals aside the numbers are grim for Trump's presidency too.

Biden has also botched the pandemic by pretending it's over. So many people are getting sick and having their quality of life wrecked by this policy. At least under Trump normal people were masking up and taking precautions.

Trump did horribly at the pandemic, but I think Biden did worse.
