That argument literally only works if I was considering voting for Trump lmao. Flipping the script makes no sense bc the context is not the same. Yes, Trump is bad. Yes, Biden is just as bad—he just pretends to be center-left so he doesn’t have to deal with opposition from centrists & libs like you.

While you’re reAdiNg tHe NeWs, read about how Obama-Biden deported, killed & caged more children than any administration before them. Biden was pro-Iraq invasion. He refuses to commit to decriminalizing marijuana, which Black people are serving life sentences for, & he supports adding additional funding to overfunded police. He wrote the ‘94 crime bill & was pro-mass incarceration / pro-dehumanizing Black “criminals” as thugs that are beyond rehabilitation & thus need to be “removed from society.” He outright refused to address the source of “criminality,” which is poverty, desperation, abuse & systematic racism in the justice system.

Biden voted for Scalia & demeaned Anita Hill, literal victim of sexual harassment, in front of the world— which paved the way for Clarence Thomas to join the SC. He called a Black reporter a “junkie” on air, said that if Black voters don’t give him their vote they “aint Black,” & said the Black community “isn’t as diverse” as the Latino community—which doesn’t make sense for a myriad of reasons, the first of which is that there are literally Afro-Latinos. He pet a disabled person’s face like a dog for a photo op.

I know it’s easier & less distressing to pretend that Democrats are leftwing or progressive or liberal, but keeping your head buried in the sand helps absolutely no one—least of all marginalized people. The fact that staunch Republicans like the fucking Lincoln Project support Biden should really tell you everything you need to know.

actually denying the ‘lesser evil’ argument is what makes people complacent. “sure trump is bad and his policies are shit and he’s a racist and a serial rapist, significantly increased drone strikes over his presidency, has treated undocumented immigrants significantly worse, is killing hundreds of thousands of americans by refusing to address the pandemic, rolled back all sorts of environmental regulations, etc etc forever. buuuuuut the democrat boogeyman is like, also bad.” hiija: Anyway, the reason Biden is even more dangerous than Trump in some respects is bc the “lesser evil” argument makes people complacent. The excuse will always be “well ok sure it’s bad & his policies are shit & yeah he‘s racist & yes he might be too handsy with women & yes we remember his treatment of Anita Hill & yes he participated in drone-striking civilians abroad & true, he did help deport record numbers of people…but the Republican boogeyman will be woooorse.” Blue conservatives like Biden don’t face resistance from centrists, libs & the center-left, so its easier to enact harmful policies & a new center-right SC justice (at best). That should be just as scary as Trump, who only really differs in that he’s brazen enough to say the fascist part out loud. if you genuinely believe the actions of democrats and republicans are the same you should probably start reading the news.

Joe Biden conned you fucks into ignoring that he’s a far-right handsy racist with a political track record of actively harming the most vulnerable among us & all he had to do was call himself Democrat.
