I know you're not a Trump supporter. You're a trans leftist who thinks this is about what the parties "deserve." The parties both deserve terrible things, yet it's still in the best interests of literally everyone that Trump loses. Liberalism sucks, but it doesn't compare to fascism.
Most westerners are brainwashed into supporting our shit empires, as that's what nationalism is. People get brainwashed because we prefer easy solutions that don't exist. In this election, either a shitty empire wins, or we get crucified and enslaved by a downright evil empire. Neither have much longevity, but one will do way more damage every day they're in charge.
Throwing your hands up and claiming both options are comparable is easy. Thinking there's a middle path is easy. It’s far harder to accept that both options are bad, but still recognize that one of them will win this election and one of them is far worse than the other.
Funny thing is that the american democracy is like "we let you vote for who you want, but if you don't vote for one of the 2 evil wolves be sure your vote will change nothing" and that's why i hate the way it work in that country. And it's not a american thing, it work for every occidental country.
Yeah, it's awful. Unfortunately, we still have to make do with this reality and Rome doesn't fall in a day.
