do you think Biden is as bad as Trump?

More and more I think Biden is worse than Trump. Here's why:

  1. When Biden started his presidency, he was already a war criminal with the blood of at least a million Iraqi people and idk how many Yemeni people on his hands. While Trump continued the murderous US foreign policy, he didn't have time to kill as many people. Biden has the higher body count when it comes to war and imperialism

  2. While in office Biden has started a proxy war in Ukraine, greenlit a coup in Pakistan, and waged a genocide in Palestine. Trump didn't do those during his term.

  3. Under Trump, we had halfassed covid safety measures -- partial lockdowns, covid unemployment, mask mandates, free and accurate tests. Under Biden, we lost all of those in order to go to a once-a-year vaccine-only strategy even when it became clear that the virus was mutating too quickly for that to work. More people have died of Covid under Biden than under Trump, and even more have contracted debilitating Long Covid.

Now it is certainly possible points 2 and 3 would have been done under Trump too, just as badly. But I do not see any wag Trump could have done worse than Biden on these -- Biden has already been disastrous. But had it been Trump who were doing 2 and 3, Liberals would have had a kneejerk and performative opposition to them which could have resulted in at least materially better outcomes. When Trump embraced antimasking, liberals masked out of spite and that helped us collectively fight covid. When Biden embraced antimasking, liberals abandoned masking out of fear that acknowledging tbr pandemic was still going on would give Trump a political talking point, and they helped spread covid. Biden did more to normalize a forever plague than Trump did.

So yeah. Biden is materially worse than Trump and the only reason liberals can't see this is that they have been trained to only consider rhetoric, not material conditions.

Revenge against injustice is objectively good, and anyone who thinks otherwise is inherently siding with the oppressor. Therefore those who condemn revenge are libs.

Brandon Sanderson is absolutely overrated.

I think there's something about Mormonism that stunts people emotionally and intellectually. Orson Scott Card*, Brandon Sanderson, Stephanie Meyer, David Farland, they all have this ... simplicity and juveinility to their characterizations of people and relationships. It's hard to put my finger on.

  • ok I will admit OSC has written a couple brilliant works but I believe he accidentally struck gold with those based on how dogshit and pathetic most of his books are.

Right these aren't concessions, they're PR to smooth over the genocide.

Yeah. When chuds are chuds I can scare them off with open hostility. On some level they seem to know they had it coming.

When libs are libs they act all aggrieved and do a bunch of DARVO shit if they're called out.

Oh awesome! Yeah more options is handy.

Is there a problem with VeraCrypt?

Your comment is dangerously misinformed and I urge you to delete it so as not to spread capitalist propaganda.

Covid is an airborne disease, like most respiratory diseases.

Sure, gnc poc from a Muslim immigrant family here to say: I and every genderqueer poc I know are far more disturbed by the Democratic Party's murderous and genocidal foreign policy than we are at whatever anti-trans laws Trump may pass. Loss of rights <<<<< being bombed and starved. We stand in solidarity with the victims of the American Empire in Palestine. Fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the liberal fascists who tokenize us to excuse their genocide.

I only see white people freaking about Trump because they center their comfort and privilege over the brown lives that Genocide Joe is snuffing out. I don't know a single person of color willing to vote for racism and genocide.

Not only do I say it's OK not to vote for Biden, I say it is immoral to vote for him. You can tell those liberal gaslighters I told you that if you vote for Biden you're basically a Nazi KKKlansman who hates nonwhite people

Depends how they do it though. There are some very poetic uses of the repetitive "fuck"

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good. I know Claudia de la Cruz has some flaws like being the underdog, but she's the best candidate we can get on the ballot!
