Maybe we could move toward more than two viable parties if people actually started voting for other parties.

Biden has been on the wrong side of so many major pieces of legislation he has been a part of that it'd be difficult to list them all. The Crime bill, Iraq, segregation, social security, the Hyde Amendment, NAFTA and probably many more.

However, all those issues pale in comparison to having a wannabe fascist in the presidential office. For all of Biden's faults, he actually believes and understands the purpose of the American government. Trump only wants power and will use and abuse the office as he sees fit to reach his end goals. He has weaponized the police and border security to suppress American citizens' freedoms. He has demonized entire nationalities, religions and races on multiple occasions. He has pushed back on every attempt to end or curtail discrimination of nearly any kind in this country (except for white and Christian people, who he seems to think are under attack in this country). He's done his absolute best to convince his followers that truth isn't truth and everyone, including the media, is lying to them except him.

These are just a very small list of all his fascist tendencies and beliefs and allowing him 4 more years in office would be an absolute disaster. 


Believe me when I tell you I am not excited to vote for Biden. The guy is what I wish Republicans actually were. In the vast majority of other developed countries, I don't even think Biden would be part of the "left party." He's as centrist or center right as you can get.

But he isn't a fascist.

This election is not between Trump and Biden. It's an election between Trump and Not Trump. And that's, unfortunately, just a pill we're going to have to swallow and hope the Republicans get their shit together for 2024 and put forward a legitimate candidate that isn't corrupt in nearly every single possible way.
