          Going to back to the point of this thread. Someone like West is not going to win. Vote for him if you want, but if you’re in a state that is going to be tight, voting for him will make it easier for the far right candidate to get certified.

              One of those candidates is literally running on overturning democratic elections, giving even more money and free rein to private industry, and having his family in appointmented positions.

              The false equivalency stuff needs to end.

                verturning democratic elections, giving even more money and free rein to private industry, and having his family in appointmented positions.

                that’s not what far right means, and there is no false equivalency being made

                  What is it to you? Increased authoritarianism and privatization are cornerstones of most popular definitions of right wing politics.

                    biden is far right: he expanded the surveillance and arrest powers of the state, imposed harsher prison sentences, voted for every military action he had an opportunity to, voted for taarp, opposed bussing… everything about him is far right. i don’t want to defend any politician, so i’m not going to say trump did anything good (or, at least i won’t try to enumerate any good things he might have done), but for every far right policy you think he may have, biden has two skeletons in the closet.
