A Biden presidency would delay the holocaust of trans people in America by 4 years and give refugees more time to escape

The Biden presidency has accelerated WW3 by 4 years and has made the entire world less safe for everyone including trans people.
He also took no meaningful steps to protect trans people or even basic women's rights like abortion in the US.
Turns out the choice was just between a competent fascist and an incompetent one.
I'm not convinced he accelerated world war 3. The news I've read on international relations says the rest of the world hates Trump just as much if not more. That aligns with my own personal experiences, everyone in my country is surprised Trump hasn't been shot yet. As for doing nothing for trans people? Good. Obviously I'd prefer something good, but doing nothing is better than doing something bad. When we're talking about the primaries, I'm with Bernie all the way. When we're talking about the election, I'm with whoever is going to murder all the trans people the slowest. I have a partner over there I'm trying to get out. I need more time to be able to pay for everything.
When Trump was president Europe was distancing itself from the US and starting to co-operate economically more with China. The fact that Trump was hated was a good thing. Now all of that has been reversed and more. Europe is deeper than ever in the pocket of the US which is catastrophic for Europe and the world. Domestically Trump also provoked much more resistance whereas Democrat presidencies not only demobilize the masses, they lull them into actively supporting reactionary imperialist policies like the proxy war on Russia.
Trump was objectively a weaker president as he was hated by the establishment state apparatus, and a weak US in internal conflict with itself is a good thing for the world.
So, you're advocating accelerationism. The idea that a push towards fascism and reactionary politics will provoke revolution. A philosophy often inspired by Marx's dialectical materialism, which claims that communism is the inevitable result of capitalist crisis. The thing is, in Marx's time it was reasonable to assume that capitalism was incapable of ending human life on earth. Now we know twice over that it can, and once over that unabated it will. Accelerationism is fundamentally a philosophy of waiting for things to get better on their own. We don't have that luxury anymore. We're out of time to prevent climate collapse, and mitigating it has to start right now. Accelerationism only makes the deadline shorter, giving us less to work with. Who cares if capitalism eventually collapses under its own weight, if it brings all of us with it?
One side wants to give you affordable healthcare and housing, one side wants to quit NATO and suck off billionaires...
Enlightened Centrists: BoTh SiDeS!!!
one side wants to quit NATO
in this case its probably so they can focus on trying to kill china instead, im not getting my hopes up.
One side doesn't give you healthcare, the other side doesn't give healthcare.
Vote blue btw
One side wants to give you affordable healthcare and housing,
Lmao bullshit. Where's it at? Cracker's had four years to do it, but there's mysteriously no money for it after we shipped fucking BILLIONS to Ukraine and Israel!
wants to quit NATO? Hell yeah, NOW WE'RE TALKIN!
one side wants to quit NATO
Lmao you really believed Trump wants to do that? It's just rhetoric to buddy up with Russia against China like how the US allied with China against the USSR.
He would just be assassinated and replaced for trying to do something anti-imperialist like JFK was for wanting to abolish the CIA, not that Trump would actually go through with it. He's no better than Biden.
One side wants to give you affordable healthcare and housing
Which side is that? All I see is two imperialist pro-genocide parties, where the one currently in power is a zionazi and is bypassing congress to speed up the genocide.
one side wants to quit NATOLmao you really believed Trump wants to do that? It’s just rhetoric to buddy up with Russia against China like how the US allied with China against the USSR.
I believe personally it's him playing the part of tough dealing CEO man (one of his personas and his most popular one TBH) and doing this with the explicit intent of forcing European countries to meet or exceed their NATO funding commitments which they've always gotten a free ride on and that upsets him. It doesn't upset the CIA because they know for instance that the reason they get a free ride is because NATO makes them vassals, NATO means they can be pulled into our wars at our whims and that generates more value for us than making them pay the full share but Trump doesn't understand that, that's too complex for him in terms of reasoning. He thinks you can have your cake and eat it too.
He makes this threat, gets into office, makes it again, says if they want protection they have to pay. From a business-minded man it makes perfect sense. If you don't pay taxes for the fire department they stand by and watch your house burn down, if you don't pay insurance premiums they don't pay out for your treatment when you get cancer. It's all perfectly logical to him and he sees these countries as non-paying riders.
Where are all these moron libs saying this type of stupid shit coming from these days?
I think sometimes Lemmy randomly puts a lemmygrad meme on the front page, and these guys just all have complete facial blindness and are illiterate enough that they don't notice the 6 heads of Marxism, or the Lenin picture, or the [email protected] and get confused.
Its those damn hexbear brigaders that're brigading lemmy with their upvotes!
