Biden doesn't have hero worshippers like Trump does. The #1 reason I'm voting Biden is because the alternative is Trump. I'm not enthusiastic about the Biden presidency, I'm enthusiastic about the end of the Trump presidency. It's hard to be elated about barely avoiding accidental suicide.

Maybe you should look harder at the people who are destroying the country and faith in the country in order to make him look bad. The entire economy is based on faith in the economy and you have the media writing 400 articles a day for 4 years about how terrible he is. The media has made America look weak and tore the country in two all because they have a personal vendetta with him. You could quite literally do the same to any president at any point in time under the same scrutiny.

I don't think any president is good, they're all kind of shit. But what the media has done to this country to tear down Trump will never be repaired. The way other countries look at us can never be undone. We look like absolute retards and we look like we are tearing apart at the seams and now we probably are. I understand where you are coming from but don't get it twisted it was a homicide that was going to be ruled a suicide (a la epstein)

Trump is the one continually shitting the bed, it's ridiculous to blame the media for telling people about it. When you report a crime to the police they arrest the criminal, not the informant.

This is an honest question from a non-American:

What is so terrible about Trump? Since the beginning there was this vehement protest that Trump will destroy the world, well a few years later this hasn't happened. He didn't fare any worse than the rest.

He's doing a great job when you compare Trump's presidency to "destroying the world." How is that even measurable? It's either like "Yay, he didn't destroy the world, we're doing great" VS. "Oh no, he destroyed the world, we're dead." Wtf lol

That's not an answer to the question, it's a distraction from it.

*Literally answers the question.

Well my number one thing is the environment. Trump seeks to block anything that isn’t oil and coal.

He has done a critical amount of damage to our public agencies and institutions as well as our foreign relations and global influence. So many of his domestic policy decisions fly in the face of science and rationality. He consistently serves Russia's geopolitical interests on the world stage in direct opposition to America's. He has more major scandals than fingers, criminal, political, and sexual in nature. He staffs critical positions with inept and/or self-serving cronies that only serve his own economic interests. His economic policies make the rich richer and the poor poorer. He has repeatedly fucked the duck in so many ways that it wouldn't be feasible to list them all out here, and anybody who seriously listened to his rambling knew it would be like that from the start. Suffice to say America is far weaker logistically, geopolitically, and economically than it has been for a long time, and it's mostly thanks to Trump. That's not even getting into the moral and intellectual expectations of somebody in the office of President or the terrible authoritarian precedents he has set.

You may already know that many people around the globe didn't view US global influence as a positive thing. US foreign policy was viewed as destructive and manipulative. So from a foreign point of view it doesn't look that bad now.

If I understand it right, Trump wanted to end illegal immigration, bring back facilities that were transfered abroad and has been very hard on China. Wouldn't these points strengthen his country? Those violent protests do seem to undermine the economy and the society and probably bring up more unrest. I find it strange that people didn't protest that much during Obama when police didn't seem much different. Or even when the global spying was uncovered and yet Obama got out of it unscathed.

Yep, if you're anti-American, Trump's your guy. Assuming you also like environmental pollution and hyperinfluential American corporate monopolies and pissing fights with Kim Jong Il and that sort of thing.

Maybe if he had actually done those things instead of undermining our government agencies and sabotaging our foreign relations (much to China's delight) and funneling money to the rich.

The alt right sure would love you to think that, but regardless it's not really relevant to Trump or the election.

You won’t need to worry about Biden. He’ll be president for maybe three years before acting as kingmaker to Harris. There’ll be a lot pressure for this given his age and Harris being a black wamen. It may happen even sooner if something comes of the accusations against Biden and his curiously employable meth aficionado son.

I hope that eases your mind as you make this pisspoor choice.

Again, I don't really care about Biden or Harris. The bubbles may as well say "Trump" and "Any competent adult".

After the precedents Trump set? What a sick joke that would be.
