I know there's voter apathy in the US but I am begging you do NOT let trump back in, do not even risk it. now that he's immune he will fuckin kill you
americans have this tendency to go "oh well, we deserve it" out of some weird combination of believing themselves to be priveliged simply for living in the US or some sense of white guilt where applicable but seriously you owe it to yourselves not to let trump back in. you don't deserve what he'd do to you, no matter how much you think you do
hi, southern european country who lived through the literal dictionary definition version of fascism here:
please vote biden
"well biden is supporting genocidal states and he's too old and we can't just vote blue no matter who and" at this point i don't give a shit
the choice is between the united states as it always sucked or a significant chance you're going to have the same awkward discussions with your grandchildren that i had with my grandfather, centered around a topic that starts with "how could you have let that happen"
yes, the dems are garbage, yes, the united states is awful, yes, biden has done good in his term but there's a lot that won't be able to be achieved with him in office
the alternative might literally be you don't get to vote anymore
and whatever the united states do, the rest of the world has to follow
Also, dual US/French citizen living in Germany here - I understand many people have been realizing to what extent the US is involved in making the world hell for people abroad, and I need them in turn to understand that opting out of this election will only make that quantifiably WORSE. We know this because we've seen it! We've witnessed the impact of US foreign policy our entire lives in ways that people in the US, for reasons often beyond their control, have not. And we were all there when 45 was president the first time! It's objectively worse for everyone if the de facto leader of the white supremacist Christian fundamentalists has a second go of it in Washington with a servile Supreme Court and Congress in tow!
everything you don't like about Biden's presidency will be ten times worse under Trump.
yeah, Biden's pretty shitty, terrible policy with the Middle-East, gave up on trying to deal with covid, not nearly hard enough on the Nazi "Republican" party as they openly conspire to strip away our freedom of speech and the little democracy we have. Trump will be so much fucking worse.
Have we already forgotten how fucking horrifying Trump's first term was? The children in cages, the blatant corruption, the catastrophic pro-plague agenda, the waves of Nazi mass shootings? Do you remember that shit? If you think Biden is senile, listen to Trump try to put a fucking sentence together. The only difference between the two is that the latter trips and stumbles through his incoherent speech with unwarranted confidence.
We're not going to push the Democratic party left. The Dems have shown, time and time again, that they would literally rather lose than run anyone left of Obama. The US will never make meaningful progress towards Socialism, or even Social Democracy, through electoralism, but we can at least keep the fucking Nazis from gaining more power.
