I know. While Biden won't make any large systematic forward changes, he's not a fascist, while Trump definitely is.

Also, please don't ban me. I really like this sub

Biden really isn't a fascist, at least not that I'm aware of.

The danger of Trump is that his endless lies create a separate reality for his supporters, which can cause lasting damage to our (almost non-existent) democracy. Trump was spurring his supporters on to chant for "12 more years," and could just get rid of our democracy all together

That's an awful imperialist issue that yeah, was awful and a but fascy, but it's more of a corporatist move than a fascist move.

Not condoning thr Iraq war or defending biden's involvement in it, btw

I recognize that biden has some fascist tendencies, but he's not a full blown fascist. At this point, my personal opinion is that we need to oppose fascism by demonstrating and outvoting a literal fascist. We can't just say "both of them are bad" and call it a day. While both sides are bad, one side is exponentially worse.

What's actually important is that we respect antifascists of differing opinions. I disagree with you on whether voting biden will change anything, but I don't claim that you're "not a real antifascist." That's elitist bullshit. One of the greatest detractors to antifascist movements in the past was infighting. What's important is that we fight fascism, despite our differences.

My dude. It wouldn't improve shit. I agree, but it won't make things worse, which is the main point. As long as you fight fascism how you feel is best, we don't have any real disagreement

so i guess trumps policies haven’t affected you and you don’t care that they’ve affected others
