    “Probably as bad as Trump in very different ways” Such as? Like, this is such weak piss argument. Either Biden wins or Trump wins. That’s how FPTP electoral systems operate. Telling people that it’s okay to abstain from voting for the POTUS is literally going to hand Trump the presidency. Also, reading Project 2025 should terrify the shit out of you. Trump won’t be “just a figurehead” if he wins.

      Foreign policy, so far.

      To be fair, that “so far” is doing some heavy lifting.

      Going solely on their current records, Biden’s foreign policy is worse.

      You know what is handing Trump a victory? When Biden backs a genocidal war against a population that a group in the mid-west swing states identifies with and is a necessary component of any Democratic win. Not a single one of us here has anything to do with that, and only the Biden administration owns the responsibility for that.

      Also, we’re still in the primary stage. We don’t have to go down with Biden sinking the ship.

      The president is a figurehead regardless of who is in office. But I do understand what you’re saying. You’re welcome to read my long reply to the other person who asked the same question in a much more polite way.
