They’re already happening under Biden. Did you miss a few weeks ago when homelessness was declared illegal? What about a few years ago when it became legal to criminalize abortions? How about when cop cities started becoming a thing under Biden? (And surely you recall when he mocked the Defund movement in his SOTU.)

This isn’t a choice between fascist on non-fascist. It’s a choice between two flavors of fascism.

When did biden declare homelessness illegal again. You do know the abortion rulings were by the judges appointed by trump right? And again not sure when biden founded some cop cities. This is exactly the crap of hey lets take the worse option and complain about the effects as if it came from the better.

Pretending the president is powerless doesn’t help your position.

I think people are more concerned about the guy trying to give himself absolute immunity and install loyalists across every part of the government. Only one candidate is telling voters they’ll never have to vote again.

Most of the things you are descriving are rulings from the Supreme Court, what is supposed to be an apolitical entity is now effectively a wing of the Heritage Foundation. Biden has spoken out about their decisions, what else is he supposed to do to counter them? AOC started impeachemnent proceedings against some of the more corrupt members, but without a majority what else can they currently do?

This is not to say the democrats are perfect or even good, but compared to the actions of the republicans? They are not the same. This is not a typical election at all.

Their entire pitch 4 years ago was that they’d leverage the power of the Federal Government to stop fascism.

They had a mandate and did nothing except use the power of their offices to get wealthier, or in Biden’s case, keep his scumbag son out of jail.

I voted for Biden in full knowledge that the middle class would suffer because I thought what we’d seen from Trump would entail real, tangible action on the part of Democrats to purge the fascists from our government.

But it didn’t.

I have zero faith they’ll do anything to stop it now after watching them spend four years doing nothing about it, and it doesn’t make sense to me to argue that they’re some kind of conscientious alternative after what we’ve all seen them do these past four years.

If they’d done what they promised Trump wouldn’t even be able to run now. Let that sink in.
