    Sure but you can derive some very dooming judgement from they way they wield that apparent control they were granted.

    The duopoli machination is a machination if they get pushed toward the lesser evil and still get fucked. If they pick the obvious evil, does it matter how fake is the alternative?

      The US doesn’t have mandatory voting, and voting is winner-take-all at a state level, meaning votes outside swing states do not matter. Further, both candidates are pre-selected by the bourgeoisie, it isn’t about lesser-evilism, it’s theatrics to obfuscate how little power the Working Class actually has.

      if they get pushed toward the lesser evil and still get fucked.

      Biden also increased tariffs on China. You can point to pretty much any policy that Trump is doing/planning on doing and you will find one of 4 outcomes

      1. Biden’s admin started the discussion
      2. Biden’s admin started the implementation
      3. Trump’s admin started it in his first term, then Biden’s admin did little to nothing to reverse course
      4. Trump’s admin started it in the first term, then Biden’s admin went further

      The case of tariffs is option 4.
