I think you did the right thing too

And fascism was only a temporary nightmare the first time it was tried. But they came pretty damn close to making it a longer lasting nightmare.

Capitalism may last longer but that doesn't make it permanent.

you're not going to vote?

[jwb]

Nah, I was going to but there was some problem with the registration

I don't really think one vote matters anyway tbh

[Marie Monday]

that sucks, voting itself is hard enough without registration giving problems too

But Trump is more malleable to oil companies, so you're dooming the environment more by not choosing like 80% death vs the 100%. Trump pulled out of the Paris accords! I'm sure Biden would get the US back on it. Yes, they're nowhere near enough, but you can't pretend both sides are the same, even on this issue!

I’m not

I voted for Biden

And can make a case why long term he might be worse for the environment than Trump but I’m not even up for it

But in a nutshell it’s because Biden lends more credence to capitalism

Please don’t pull me into a debate about it

I know you said don't pull you in an argument but don't put out statements if you don't want any pushback on them.

Whatever

NYTimes saying Trump has Florida pretty much wrapped up

[The Batlord]

I mean respectable centrists do have a "listening to Ben Stein talk" effect where they sell capitalism in such a way where your eyes glaze over and you just accept it cause nothing that banal could ever be evil. Someone like Trump is an agent of chaos who might serve capitalism but also stirs up a hornets' nest with his crazy ****.
