    They’re both mentally unfit IMHO. One is a bit demented, the other is lucky that his dementia happens to help cover a pile of seething shit.

      Biden isn’t a good person by any means but we’re literally comparing the next Hitler to Bill Clinton.

      Clinton got a blowjob and got impeached. Trump fucked a hooker and no one gave a single fuck.

          Clinton (and Obama, for that matter) were exceptionally young presidents.

          Clinton was the youngest president at the time of his induction since Kennedy (Kennedy was also the youngest President at the end of his term for other reasons, namely because it was the youngest a President had ever died, if that makes sense). JFK was the youngest since TR, who was the youngest ever, and Obama was only a year or so younger than Clinton at the time of induction.

            No giving Zyklon B to the Nazis while they are putting the Jews in gas chambers is not committing genocide, it’s enabling genocide!

            No Bibi isn’t committing genocide, he’s just ordering it. He’s not actually shooting Arabs!

                  for just a moment, think, you stupid ass: who’s more open to a two state solution and life in Palestine - biden or trump?

                  goooo ahead, elect trump and watch palestine literally disappear under bibi/trump.

                  USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN, they’re people you dolt not point in a silly game, and you’re gimbling with their lives. Trump won’t give two shits about their genocide. He’ll probably raise more support for bibi.

                  damn do I have to spell every single thing out to you? with crayons?

                  trump’s not gonna help anyone but himself. meanwhile biden insists on a two state solution.

                  there it’s spelled out with crayon, and yet you’ll still ignore reality. gonna block you now, moron

                    Trump is involved in the least conflicts out of our presidents in the last 2 decades. I’m not voting for the guy either, but Trump isn’t exactly beholden to Israel like establishment Dems (Biden) are. I’m not saying Trump will save Gaza, but his record during his last term points to less enabling than even a democratic president would.

                    Food for thought, I guess.

      Okay, but we have to pick the lesser evil senile candidate. We only have two choices. And even if a third party guy were to run, a vote for that guy would actually be a vote for one of the other two guys.

        For sure. But the problem is systemic. Having to “vote for the lesser evil” is symptom of a “winner takes all”-election/governance.

        Throw in private interests in of the primaries candidate selection, add extensive private ownership of media coverage, and you complete the pretence of “by the people”.

        Either the US does a redo of the election process, or we’ll see if the next fascist coup attempt sticks or not. I suppose learning from history and Hitler’s initial failed coup, is a bit too on the nose. But, then again, had it happened in the US today, he wouldn’t have been put in jail for treason, and then might not have written Mein Kampf, and perhaps then also not manage to succeed in the second coup?

        It’s not like we’re repeating this storyline play by play. Hitler didn’t use the term “fake news” in an effort to undermine the function of the press and critical reporting… Because he spoke German, and they called it “große Lüge” instead.

        Oh well… shrug
