It's safe to say none of us want to see Trump elected. But what you and Biden liberals fail to understand is that millions of Americans are so marginalized and desperate, or have experienced so much stress under any president, that Trumpaphobia does not touch them. They see Biden's inaction on voting rights and criminal justice reform. They see his unfettered militarism which you enable and reinforce. They see him caving to Joe Manchin and greenlighting major oil and gas pipeline projects when he promised to (but he never caves to the wishes of progressives of course). The Muslim population (and many others) see him aiding and abetting genocide. Just because Trump is awful does not mean that people will automatically gravitate to someone who is a danger to their existence as well. And many who are marginalized do not feel any difference in their existence whether it's George W, Obama, Biden or Trump. Talking about Trump and the Republicans all day accomplishes nothing as most of us are acutely aware of their malfeasance and we can do much more to change the trajectory of Democrats than Republicans. If we actually call them out and think critically rather than doing contortions of moral compromise to protect them.

FIRSTLY.

It's not JUST Americans who feel 'marginalized and desperate' it is also all the people in the world who want PEACE in order to get on with our lives.

America decided LONG ago that nobody was better than them: America produces With China the most egregious emissions the world has ever seen.

Meanwhile the incarcerated people in the US are possibly? the largest on this earth.

This is NOT a Democracy and has not been for a long time.

SECONDLY:

Who made the US in charge of 'policing' the world?

Bases in the S Pacific. US in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with their warships?

NOT many American people have even visited China or Russia? Why? Propaganda.

It's easy to make one Empire nastier than others.......if people in the US are too afraid to even go there.

THIRDLY.

I live in Europe and I am eternally DISGUSTED with Euorpeans willing to follow the US !

Screw you all. I care about every person in the world who just wants to go about their lives. I am one of them.
