I hesitate to say that Biden is better than Trump at this point. (lemmygrad.ml)

This is not me saying at all that Trump is better than Biden; it's more of an equalization argument that I truthfully can't see a fiscal difference.

It's been well known by people like us that the two bourgeois parties are basically the same, but I never really understood how close they were until the last like, 6 months.

Maybe it's JUST Biden that's super similar. But regardless, I just don't see the difference. He spews nice words about trans rights, workers, all of these good things. But the exact same shit that happened under Trump basically happened under Biden. Funding for genocidal states, proxy war funding, funding police, loss of abortion federal protection, separation of kids and parents at the border, etc.

People keep saying Biden is marginally better, where?

I don't know. I can't bring myself to vote for any of these guys this time around.

Yeah thats what I imagined the experience being like. It doesn't sound like it's much different then others dealing with falling out of their religion. This person wasn't a random person, so I'll take your closing sentence as an expression of frustration. We've both been doing a lot of learning in recent years and this is just another one of those moments. Confronting your own reactionary tendencies doesn't happen all at once.

But thank you comrade for your perspective, its valued.

Thanks. Yeah, it's frustration, I already used up more than a lifetime's worth of patience on having compassion for racists. It got me nowhere good and I don't feel I should have to put up with their shit anymore. I can't anymore even when I try. At this point I'm just automatically hostile to them, but I still appreciate other people who can have the patience to try to rehabilitate them. You're doing the Lord's work reeducating them so the rest of us don't have to deal with their shit.
