A senile grandpa vs a wannabe dictator. America: you’re fucked.
I'll take a competent grandpa with a lifetime of relevant experience who's slipping a bit, but has a great team supporting him and who yields consist, positive results over a Christo-fascist dictator who aims to dismantle democracy entirely.
I'd prefer a younger progressive to Biden, but youth isn't a guarantee of quality. Bobert, empty G, Gaetz, or Biden? You can throw that youth argument in the trash (Trumpster fire?)
That anyone seems to think Trump and Biden are even remotely close that you have to split hairs is laughable and shows exactly how effective and alive propaganda is.
I would too. But as you are saying it, it’s more let’s not let Trump win than I want Biden to be my president. Trump can move a lot of people, while Biden is just not Trump.
Voters need to be motivated to get Biden elected, that’s why I’m scared of what’s to come. If Trump wins, the world is going to shit.
yes, your comment really does. The whole point is to give you an illusion of choice, and you're lapping it up, while they keep the systems that oppress us all chugging along uninterrupted. You really showed them!

Propaganda is stronger than ever. You can't teach media literacy young enough these days
It must be if you think the two are the same.
I don't - you've got the wrong end of the stick lol sorry
Trump wouldn't even know the name Francois Mitterrand. He would not even know he was president long before Macron. Or where France is.
I take the grandpa that sometimes has those name hick-ups then the grandpa with the swastika armlet.
I am not for the US so it does not apply to me… but yes I would also take Biden. He is still ok I guess. The problem is that 5 years down the pipe he’s shape will deteriorate even further.
The US has had a puppet presidency at least twice that I can remember: Woodrow Wilson after his stroke, and Reagan when he went senile in office.
You might be forgetting Trump, which by all evidence was just Putin wearing a decaying pig death mask.
I like that you interpreted it as hick-ups, as if it were a mistake/fuck-up made by a hick, lol
As a hick, I assure you he ain't. He just acts folksy like so many other politicians.
