Think of it as Fascism vs. Democracy

And for those who spout "gEnOcIdE jOe iS jUsT As fAsCiSt !1!1!!11":

The fairytales called lemmygrad and twitter. They want their orks and trolls back

A few people in these comments are essentially saying there are no real differences in the parties. Don't get me wrong, there are 100% things that the parties agree on, like capitalism, supporting Israel, and continuing to fuck with countries that we really shouldn't be messing with. But here's the thing, if you think the parties are the exact same then you most likely aren't having your rights to exist threatened by this election. Republicans want to ban books, want to have lgbt people put in prison for just existing, want to keep people of color from voting, want to have women getting illegal abortions so more of them die, want to force Christianity on the entire country because they think they're the religion that's "right", want to make trans people illegal and force all of us to detransition or be put in prison, want to block all immigrants and deport the ones that currently exist in the country, want democratic lawmakers to be killed in a mob, want to go on a murderous rampage killing all they deem to be scum of the earth, want to literally bring on the rapture, want to establish death and work camps like what was done in nazi germany, want to have putin take over all of europe because he has dirt on them, want to remove all governmental assistance so that poor people die more often, want to eliminate all public education, want to take away voting power from women, want to make the internet as uniform and unsafe a place as possible, want to have disabled people be unable to afford to live so that they die, want to strip all workers rights and go back to before we had unions, want to criminalize homelessness to the point that they are literally dying because that's easier, want to increase fossil fuel consumption because they don't think that global warming is real, want to make life on earth as shitty as possible because they think they're gonna be raptured up and won't have to deal with the ramifications of their actions. I could go on but this is already a really long comment. There are important differences to the parties, even if you personally won't be significantly impacted by those differences.

It's between their administrations.

Personality certainly matters

Not really, no. You know what DOES matter, though, more than anything else? Policy and actions!

NYT never want to talk about those things, though.

When the preferred candidate of the DNC in any election is charismatic and personally popular, they want to talk about personality.

When the candidate isn't popular, they want to talk up tribalism, they want to convince people to uncritically back the chosen leader for the good of the tribe.

They want people to forget that Biden is still enabling genocide. They want people to believe them when they say that Biden is seconds away from brokering a ceasefire. They don't want people to believe the actual fact that they never stopped sending weapons and money to the fascist Netanyahu apartheid regime even as it became increasingly clear that they're engaging in almost all named crimes against humanity.

They want minority groups such as Muslim Americans, black Americans, involuntarily pregnant, the LGBTQ+ community and people who lost their right to vote that Biden and his administration promised them justice but didn't deliver.

Most of all, though, they want people to lower the bar. They don't just want people to hold their noses and vote for Biden because a Trump administration would be much worse (which everyone definitely should, because it definitely would be).

They want to convince people that the lesser evil is in fact not an evil. They want people to believe that being in opposition to someone much worse makes it ok to be awful. That the very fact that there's only an atrocious alternative makes Biden a good choice that should not just be tolerated, but celebrated and NEVER criticized, lest we "give Trump ammunition".

Fuck. That. Bullshit!
