    Biden is actually the current figurehead of a very effective facist machine, imo, but I still don’t want someone as incompetent as the alternative running the USA. That shit has a major affect on the rest of the world.

    First you prevent the orange man from taking office and further accelerating the deterioration of international order – please – then you can look into your own country’s issues, among which are milking conflict for profit and power (my country is the same, we’re just smaller. I’m looking into it!)

    Remember, Biden is carrying on the status quo. The USA has a long history of letting shit slide with Israel, long before Biden. It’s just that Bibi is an evil trapped rat who has inadvertently “blown up Biden’s game.”

      ‘You need to vote Biden to protect American hegemony’ is not particularly persuasive.

        If you need me to persuade you to participate in your election, I can’t help you.

        If you really think 4 more years under Trump is preferable, I can’t help you.

          Yeah, no kidding; Genocide Joe supporters are definitely having trouble persuading people to vote for him. That said “vote for Biden because he’s a more competent fascist” is maybe the worst pitch yet.

              Disenfranchised voters are an autocrat’s dream.

              So are grand conspiracies that blame all of a nation’s problems on a foreign scapegoat.

                    And from that you assume I was a conspiracy theorist and not just referring to how helpful a Trump presidency was for Putin.

                    Buddy, you’re the one seeing things that aren’t there.
