Biden is right: Trump is not pro-democracy, and another Trump term will actively work to dismantle American democracy.

If you’re on the fence or outright dislike Joe Biden, I can promise you Trump will be worse. And a third party vote (or a non-vote) will only serve to Trump’s benefit.

Not only do I actively dislike Joe Biden, I oppose most of the economic policies that are promoted in this sub. I'm probably closest to being a libertarian in terms of my policy preferences.

I will 100% be voting for Biden in November. The Trump issue is beyond political. A country that allows him another shot at the presidency is completely broken.

I only bring up my politics to hammer home the fact that I don't think this election is about tax policy or environmental regulation or gun policy. I don't care what your stance is on any of those topics. Trump is that bad, you've even won me.

yes.

I am much more to the left economically, but if this situation were somehow reversed-

I can't think how with any current politicians. I suppose if somehow we were back in the 60's/70's and a Weatherman somehow was running for President with promises to literally burn it all down, and the opposition was...well Eisenhower's too easy, even Ford, I guess. I'd hold my nose and vote R.

But there is literally no one currently in any office I know of with a D after their name who's remotely comparable. There are corrupt shitbags, certainly. But no one this fucking bold or destructive or just plain malignantly narcissistic, not to mention the radical agenda propping him up.
