Yes, America is a two party fascist state. It genuinely does not matter who I vote for for President, fascism is the only outcome. I can, occasionally, minimize the levels of fascism close to me when certain candidates win primaries near me, even though that is also pretty minimal, but it does have much more of a real impact than voting for President. Biden, in particular, has shown absolutely zero indications that he is better than Trump in policy.
primaries
Those are funny things. Wasn't Biden one of the least supported candidate in the last primaries with Bernie leading and multiple people between them? Then all of them suddenly supported Biden, and Bernie supported Biden too eventually. Weird how that democracy works.
You know what the saddest part is? I didn't even expect Bernie to be not-fascist (at least in terms of foreign policy), I just wanted to see how the system would handle him. We certainly got our answer, primaries that would have been called election fraud if they had occured in any under-developed country.
If Americas guy got treated like Bernie did there would have been drone strikes and sanctions by the end of the week (probably on Friday to give the media time to spin it while people are tuned out).
Biden won red state primaries. The system working as intended.
Biden won a single red state primary which meant he was the winner of the overall primary.
3 presidential runs and it was his first primary win.
The shit was rigged, but by giving southern states a say at all (especially that early) is part of how it was rigged. If they’d done swing states first, then strongholds, and then states they are guaranteed to lose the math would have been very different.

Now South Carolina is the first primary for dems. Its the new Iowa for them
Damn, that's such a fuck you blatant move at preventing another Bernie. Once again, the Dems only get their claws out and seriously play politics when it's to stop all movement leftward.
Exactly. They don't want us involved in politics at all except as a scapegoat, punching bag, or bogeyman
and this, kids, is how we got to the present, in which Biden isn't on the ballot in New Hampshire and needs to run a write-in campaign.
I keep looking into the primaries and the way that it looks to me they can just pick anybody regardless of the "votes." Why would Primaries ever be the answer when we need to pick a good 3rd party and run it home?
Yeah primaries are certainly not the answer. I was specifically talking about local elections shit, but even that doesn't work most of the time, these last couple of times I've had two complete shitbirds to vote for (even the so called 'progressive' candidate is a complete mess) and the progressive one shits the bed in the primaries and the establishment Dem candidate shits the bed in the general.
Hasn't Biden been better with the NLRB, and climate? He also did that big infrastructure bill, and pardoned people in jail on weed offences.
Like he's been objectively better than trump on domestic policy. And I don't see any reason to think trump would have cut funding to Israel.
What the fuck are you talking about about? He literally broke up the rail strike, invested in hydrogen infrastructure (a type of fuel that isn't green and pretty much everyone has commerically abandoned) instead of building actual infrastructure such as trains or affordable housing, and only pardoned people with federal weed offenses, which accounts for less than 1% of all weed related convictions.
I'd argue that he has been worse for domestic politics because people have literally stopped paying attention to the bad shit the American government does domestically as naturally as breathing. He has increased the funding of the border from Trump, lost access to abortion for millions of women, opened up more oil drilling permits across the U.S. and has repeatedly fumbled on trans rights and COVID policy. Nothing has actually changed policy-wise, just optics.
I don't think Trump would have cut funding to Israel, but that doesn't mean I have to vote for either genocidal removed.
