So the choice is between a senile old man with good intentions and a treasonous, syphalitic crook. And the crook has a non zero chance of winning.
Fuck me, what a shit show.
A guy that supports a Genocidal ethno-Fascist regime doesn't have "good intentions", not even by the lousy standard of the subset of politicians that climb their way into the position of "leader of a major country" - normal human beings don't give guns to people purposefully murdering tens of thousands of children, starving 2 million people and targetting journalists and medical personnel.
"Not quite as extremelly bad intentions as the other guy" would be a more correct take.
Trying to spin this as a "good guy vs bad guy" is quite a tribalist take on a plague vs pestilence contest.
But like, you realize how much more manageable pestilence is, right? That's the whole point. Stuff your both sides shit up your ass
That's the rational take and I'm sure plenty of people will vote Biden following that rationale.
The top poster's "pestilence is a good thing" (i.e. Biden is a "good guy") statement on the other hand is insanelly tribalist and pure fantasy.
Being a Lesser Evil by comparison with an extremelly Evil option is not at all the same as being Good.
