    First you prevent the orange man from taking office and further accelerating the deterioration of international order

    ‘You need to vote Biden to protect American hegemony’ is not particularly persuasive.

      If you need me to persuade you to participate in your election, I can’t help you.

      If you really think 4 more years under Trump is preferable, I can’t help you.

        Yeah, no kidding; Genocide Joe supporters are definitely having trouble persuading people to vote for him. That said “vote for Biden because he’s a more competent fascist” is maybe the worst pitch yet.

            Disenfranchised voters are an autocrat’s dream.

            So are grand conspiracies that blame all of a nation’s problems on a foreign scapegoat.

                  And from that you assume I was a conspiracy theorist and not just referring to how helpful a Trump presidency was for Putin.

                  Buddy, you’re the one seeing things that aren’t there.

                    “I just said we need to secure our country from the Jew’s pet! I’m definitly not a conspiracy theorist!”
