  • Yeah the political theater is just that-- theater. Aside from occasionally checking in to laugh/sob at how awful it all is, I’ll be devoting my energy to things that actually matter.

    As for voting, I guess if something local pops up worth voting for I’ll vote in that. Nationally, the Democratic Party has shown its enthusiastic support for fascism and genocide so there’s nobody I can vote for except maybe Cornell West or whoever the Greens or the PSL run. The one thing I know is, I won’t vote for Biden or anyone like him. Arab and Muslim Americans are calling for a boycott of Biden, and it would be like breaking a picket line to vote for him, only 1000x worse becauase instead of exploitative work conditions it’s literal genocide.


  • There’s no comparison. Bush has a much higher body count and was a more effective imperialistic mass-murderer. He certainly did his part to empower fanatics – the wAr oN tErROr got all those racist bloodthirsty chuds baying for blood. As for eroding the facade of democracy, I don’t know what you can call stealing the 2000 election and then ramming through unpopular wars other than proof that America has never been a democracy.

    Bush did immense permanent damage – the millions dead by his policies and the aftershocks will never come back to life.

    Trump just rode the wave.

    People who think Trump was as bad or worse than Bush are just telling on themselves that they don’t think nonwhite people living outside the imperial core are fully human.
