A "veneer of civility" is all that's needed to buy your vote? A 'veneer of civility' over a fucking genocide? Listen to yourself, you sound so proud of that shit. .
Fuck that. You KNOW the truth about Biden and about the US political establishment and the only reason you vote for Biden is because you are too much of a coward to look reality in the face. You grab on to this fucking 'veneer' like you are stix2your fingers in your ears and squeezing your eyes shut and shouting "Aaah I can't hear you LLALALLALALALA", and then you act all sanctimonious like you are better people than Trump supporters. You are not.
And no, people believing a bunch of hokum and lies was what bought on Brexit and BoJo. Not very different from the copium you are smoking.
That's an awful large wall of text to tell everyone you haven't listened to anything that's gone on in many years. If you think Trump is about to somehow magically resolve this genocide that he's been actively egging on from the sidelines, please learn to read.
I do know the truth about the US political establishment, I fucking live here, you goon. And the truth is that until the civil war starts, we are reduced to voting for the lesser evil. Anything else is causing more active harm to ourselves and our fellow humans for no gain.
So yes, I will vote for Biden, because I'm not being presented a better option. Once the blood starts spilling on American soil that may end up a different story. But for right now? This both sides bullshit is actively killing people and making the entire world worse, both here and overseas.
I remember when Trump was in office, I remember what he said and did and what he's promised will happen next time. I'm not about to let that happen again. If my options are 40% evil or 99% evil I'm picking the 40% every time, no question, from a purely utilitarian viewpoint.
