Trump, the same Trump that killed boarder legislation because he didn't want to give biden a win?
Not him, no, never.

It's posts like this that always oddly have 0 tankie comments lamenting about genocide Joe. Weird how that is, it's like they avoid all articles that disprove their entire worldview. Crazy.
I want to point out that there may not be that many "tankies" on Lemmy. And Biden isnt running right ? So its not "genocide Joe" .... it is now in Kamala's court.
Problem: Kamala is tough on crime, Kamala is tough on bordercontrol ( she famously told people "DO NOT COME TO THE UNITED STATES". She is strong in every talking point Conservatives and Right-wing media are throwing at establishment democrats.
So "tankies" are the far-left commies, so they agree on everything to the other extreme with right-wing nuts.
Kamala is poison to both extreme groups. Hence crickets you get silence.
Hey I'm pretty extreme and anti-genocide, but I think we all hope she just wins so we can start giving her a hard time about Israel and her conservative stances, without worrying about the much worse option getting elected.
But I'm not even American. So the domestic aspect doesn't impact me and much, beyond of course wanting the best for you guys
Yeah if I have to choose between two evils I’m going to always take the one that is lesser and open to criticism over the one who revels in their evil
Not an American either. But if US Elections blowup, it will impact jobs and markets worldwide. Things can go south pretty fast and not everyone has safety nets or nest eggs to save themselves.
Idk about Lemmy, but I lose brain cells on YouTube about this stuff whenever I make a mistake of scrolling down to read the comments. Just yesterday I saw a comment under a video where someone was speaking in support for Harris, the comment was something like “supporting evil and not knowing it”. I am not gonna outright say that Kamala is not evil, but to call Kamala evil over Trump takes some very high level of ignorance.
