Say what you want about Trump, if he gets into the white house again he is going to be an effective leader. The American empire is not destined to fall, communism is not destined to win, capitalism will kill the planet if we can’t stop it though, that’s the only thing that’s certain. Trump winning or losing does not determine if we get the good ending or the bad ending, but he points us in a worse direction than Biden would. Think about how many wars Biden started and is losing, if Trump ends them america will be in a stronger position to do imperialism. I support Biden because he won’t end the wars, and the US is destined to lose them. Trump is a greater threat to Palestine, to Russia, to China, to Cuba, to all currently existing socialist states. Biden is not by his sheer incompetence. If Biden starts WW3 that would be better for the working class than Trump starting it or even delaying it for a more ruthless fascist president to lead it. Anyways voting doesn’t matter, you are crazy if you think trump is better for leftist, he is only better for the colonizer.

You're duped if you think the individuals are really at the head of everything.

Most of what Biden does is assisted by a whole bunch of staff; the Democratic party machine is firmly in charge and they love Biden the way he is. Sometimes he insists on doing things his way (poorly) but it never really goes against the apparatus.

Trump has handlers too, with lots of different factions/opportunists vying for control. He's also becoming senile, but it doesn't show as much. He was able to monkey-wrench a lot of the executive branch in his first term, partly because he monopolized the media and partly because he kept firing everyone, and the party didn't know how to respond. Now, with Trump as more elderly and having taken a bunch of losses, he doesn't have as much chaotic mystique, and the Republican party apparatus knows how he works.
