I hope Biden and the party's leadership get hunted down and executed if they lose the election. Why? Because I'm a trans woman of color who's outspoken about my views, meaning I'm getting the axe before most. I'm EVERYTHING the right hates. I'm not "fucked either way," but actually dead one way and only possibly not dead the other.

You're a fucking kid who doesn't realize how bad the current situation is. Even if Biden wins, we're on a dangerous road towards World War, and Trump winning will only make that more likely. You don't take the dangers of the growing nationalism seriously because you've grown up with the same illusion of safety as all westerners. You don't realize how bad war is or how bad authoritarian oppression feels because you have no reference for it. You imagine it'll be like the media you consume, but you haven't figured out that stories don't capture it.

If simply voting blue to not get killed is supporting terrorism to you, I hope you live to rebuild . The story doesn't end with disaster; life must go on; if not for you than for someone else.

You're talking like im a trump supporter, i ain't. Both partis are terrible in their on way and dosn't deserve to be in place.

because you've grown up with the same illusion of safety as all westerners.

Lmao most westerners are brainwashed by biden and it's believers, im not.

I know you're not a Trump supporter. You're a trans leftist who thinks this is about what the parties "deserve." The parties both deserve terrible things, yet it's still in the best interests of literally everyone that Trump loses. Liberalism sucks, but it doesn't compare to fascism.

Most westerners are brainwashed into supporting our shit empires, as that's what nationalism is. People get brainwashed because we prefer easy solutions that don't exist. In this election, either a shitty empire wins, or we get crucified and enslaved by a downright evil empire. Neither have much longevity, but one will do way more damage every day they're in charge.

Throwing your hands up and claiming both options are comparable is easy. Thinking there's a middle path is easy. It’s far harder to accept that both options are bad, but still recognize that one of them will win this election and one of them is far worse than the other.

Funny thing is that the american democracy is like "we let you vote for who you want, but if you don't vote for one of the 2 evil wolves be sure your vote will change nothing" and that's why i hate the way it work in that country. And it's not a american thing, it work for every occidental country.

Yeah, it's awful. Unfortunately, we still have to make do with this reality and Rome doesn't fall in a day.
