Both sides are bad

It's jut that one is kinda great with a bunch of bad things, the other is a pineapple up your ass nightmare shitshow.

Which one to choose, choices choices choices...

One is implied as guilty of genocide because their companies sold weapons to and haven't actively prevented their use in an overseas conflict they have no authority over.

The other is s convicted felon, who is also likely guilty of treason, actively fights democracy and has been caught in blatant lies, wants to take the country back 150 years in civil rights, actively seeking campaign funding by selling out the global climate futures and thinks we should use nukes to combat weather we don't like.

I don't know how Americans can choose

I fully agree with you.

But... This comment is a month old, how do you feel now?

We CANNOT get Trump, but Biden is practically endorsing Trump at this point. People are dumb enough to vote for Trump after seeing Biden mumble about

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Still the same.

I discussed a similar thing in another thread - regarding Israel there are 35 years of policy and hundreds of years of culture, combined with a military industry complex that ties into the entire US economy. No president can fix that in 3 years.

You absolutely can't get Trump, and Biden isn't perfect by any means. But unfortunately those are still the only two choices.

Is it even fair to call them bad if you immediately also admit that they're "kinda great"?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

If you cherry pick the comment, yes. Insaid a little bit more there.

Truth be told, Biden has done a shit tonne of great things, really, and a lot of the bad was out of his hands. Truth be told too, he now appears a bumbling old man close to his deathbed, and very far from ready for a presidency and still I'd say vote for him because well, you know, the alternative sucks
