It's a two party system. You vote Biden or get Trump. Trump has less problem with ethnic cleansing. If fact Trump is the kind that might try it in the US.
He already has plans for it, and using the military to do it. He has made it clear he plans to go full fascist right from day one if he were to win again. It's his only way to not spend the rest of his life in prison (and he loves the idea of being a dictator).
I think if he tries that, the US breaks down as there is no way everyone will go with it.
Trump winning is a win for the enemies of the US and a win for the enemies of the wider free world.
Edit: Add a few words for clarity.
That's true but Biden winning accomplishes the same. No this isn't a both sides argument, it's understanding that many outside nations have invested in dividing our nation politically. The only win would be a 3rd party win and that won't happen in my lifetime.
That is a both sides argument. Trump is a new level of bad. If you want to have any chance of a future with a better political system, you want to keep Trump out. If you don't vote Biden, you can't complain if you get Trump.
Trump is only a "new level of bad" to liberals that weren't paying attention before.
See if you still feel like if he gets in and does things like taking measures to stay in longer than another single term, withdraw from NATO and the UN.
why do you keep making him sound cool? trump won't do any of these things if he's elected
That's really not cool. It's basically says to Europe "your on your own with Russia". And to Russia "Go ahead, we won't fight you." Which means Putin will go further than invading Ukrainian. Which mean the EU has to go to war to call his Bluff. You could be looking at WWIII. The US will get sucked in regardless of how isolationist it wants to be. Just like WWI and WWII. So not cool to go pushing over dominoes of the post WWII world order. Especially dumb as the US has benefited a lot from said order.
Yeah, I wonder why people want the "rules-based international order" to end, maybe it's because they're the ones on the shit end of the stick?
Well I guess we will see what happens and hope it's not world war again. If it is, we all lose.
