Yay, now we can start criticizing the neo-cons' policies without being distracted by stupidity every 2 days.
Biden is going to be a *terrible* president for Americans. But compared to Trump, it'll feel like he's perfect. Don't hold him to that very low standard 😉
🇳🇱
USPOL
@Matter the problem is it will only feel like he is perfect because he is more charismatic, not because he is less evil. The world will go on thinking he is mediocre, so will even like him, meanwhile his actions and history suggest he is far more evil than trump, trump was too stupid to really be very evil.
USPOL
@freemo again, your worldview seems completely divorced from reality.
Trump is an anti-science nutjob that doesn't even *believe* in climate change. That alone makes him worse than Biden, regardless of anything else.
Biden will at least pretend to do something about it, and not actively go against efforts to limit climate change
USPOL
@Matter Yes trump is an anti-climate nut job, I agree, and yes in terms of environment Trump is far worse, no argument there. As I've pointed out before climate and enviromental issues is the one place where I can say I'd expect some marginal improvement from Biden over Trump.
But no, that's not enough, or even comes close, to the bad things Biden has done, things that arent even in question, from supporting segregation to murdering a 16 year old US citizen without a trial.
USPOL
@Matter He was surrounded by "good" people when he was vice president. Didnt prevent him and Obama from murdering that 16 year old kid and other citizens though did it?
Sorry but assuming some evil person will be ok because they surround themselves with people who are also evil but look good on paper doesnt solve the problem. It does however let the american public drink the kool aid and look the other way a bit easier.
You'd be amazed how most democrats never even heard about the murders under Obama despite the fact that it established fact from both sides, there was outcry from the ACLU and tons of civil rights groups, etc, yet democrats are like "what scandal, there was a scandal under obama"... Yea sorry but the democrats are good at doing evil in plain sight and making sure no one cares a lick about it, thats their thing.

@freemo What matters is what he does, and the platform he has chosen and the people he is surrounding himself with will not be very conducive to racist policies.
I am a bit concerned about Harris, but I mean compared to Handmaid's-Tale-Pence she will probably be great
