Trump would have had us knee deep in another war right now, with boots on the ground.

You think Biden is bad? Well what about this game of alternative history where something worse happens? Guess that means his support of an active genocide is actually a good thing, huh?

Wow, you’re right. I really didn’t consider your fictional alternative history universe when forming my opinions on events in this reality.

I’m not American so maybe I got it wrong, but isn’t it possible they will be the two major candidates?

I’d love to be wrong and we could worry about who the real nominee will be.

They will be the two major party candidates.

But the comment I was responding to is basically saying “We have to support Biden’s genocide and turn to fascism because the GOP’s brand of facsism would be even worse”.

Even if you accept that argument, or believe the tradeoff is worth it, those advocating it for always conspicuously leave out the moral hazard portion of that equation in regards to the message their unwavering support sends to the Democratic party leadership:

No matter what you do, including actively contributing to a genocide, we will still vote for you to keep the GOP from power.

Personally, I think one openly fascist party is already too much in our two party system and believe we shouldn’t take anything off the table to prevent us from having two of them.

Probably, but Biden is in charge right now. So, stop creating imaginary scenarios and getting mad at them.

Shh… you will disturb their misleading narrative and not usher in the worst possible future for the US and the world. I wonder who, in this yuge world, would benefit from that course of events. It’s a damn mystery.

Based on what? He started the withdrawal in Afghanistan. Hes said he wants to end the war in Ukraine. The ways he wants to do it are wrong but Trump is not exactly been a huge warmonger.
