We all know there’s no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I’m actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is “Trump bad”, some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and “protecting LGBT rights” (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?).

They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

    I suspect the elites prefer Trump but keep up appearances. He’s a tool, like Mussolini or Hitler: a lacky of capitalists to bludgeon socialist movements and organize the rabid far-right into a tool to use for imperialism. But liberal values are still the dominant trend here, so they must keep up appearances. But, in that too, they like Trump. He’s a perfect scapegoat. They can give him some slack to crush their enemies, then use him as something to condemn in order to shift all responsibility from themselves. In that way, even the tragedies he causes become profitable.

    A better question is what are we (American comrades) doing in preparation for the inevitable crackdown we’ll receive?
