You didn't answer the question:

If we assume that all the terrible policies on Trump's website and Project 2025 won't happen (dangerous and stupid, but let's go with it as a hypothetical), what policies do they have which will make life better than it is under the Democrats?

Because your question is assuming a stance that I do not take.

Your point literally only shows why Biden has to win this election.

Is that what youre attempting to argue? Because thats what youre accomplishing.

I forgot Trump always follows the law and there are consequences for his actions. And the Supreme Court would never accept that he could just assassinate his political opponents if he wanted to.

Oh a violent coup. Yeah Trumpers would never do the thing they did 3 years ago already. Especially not when Trump is trying to legally give the president role complete immunity.

Because dictators have to follow the law. /s

Glad you're starting to see my point.

Or will a Trump regime be the same as a Biden one, but with just with a more ridiculous and corrupt figurehead?

If you actually read the thing you'll see that it literally cannot happen legally...meaning if they want it to go through, they'll have to do it through a violent coup or other similar means. Meaning we are fucked regardless.

I can answer that.

Because he's incompetent. if he does get elected again, I'd be more worried about him croaking and his VP taking over.

The only solace is that it's Trump who's the cult leader and the people want their shitlord in chief and not some other guy, but at that point it really wouldn't matter.

Project 2025, and yes he has stated that people will be sent to camps. Like do I really have to explain why American falling under a full blown dictatorship is a bad thing?

The plan would perform a swift restructuring of the executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory a dubious legal theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration.

literally cannot happen

Because of the actions of Republicans. If you, as a voter, don't do your part then you risk things getting much worse. Democrats don't have full control of things, you realize that right? It wasn't a Democrat court that struck down Roe vs Wade. It wasn't Democrats trying to pass bills to hurt Republicans.

Criticism? Oh absolutely criticize Democrats, we all are. No one here is happy about this war.

But you're utterly delusional if you think things won't get astronomically worse if Trump wins in 2024.

Define "astronomically worse". We talkin death camps or what?

* Biden has said he'll sign abortion rights into law if Congress sends him the bill.
* Biden has said he'll sign stricter gun control into law if Congress sends him the bill.
* Biden has said he'll sign transgender protections into law if Congress sends him the bill.

These things are happening right now because the Republican-controlled House and the conservative-controlled Supreme Court are obstructing attempts to address them.

Okay mario out of curiosity.

What would you have us voters do regarding all this?

  1. Realize that it is possible to criticize Biden without supporting Trump.
  2. Realize that all the things the Democrats want you to believe will happen under Trump (and certainly will, I'm not denying that) are currently happening right now.

This is either ignorance or bad faith. You're pairing something Biden does have control over (military aid to Israel) with something he does not (abortion rights, LGBT rights, etc). He can't do much about the latter unless Congress works with him to do so (they won't because Republicans control the House).

In paring the two, you're either inadvertently (ignorance) or knowingly (bad faith) creating a false dilemma. Divorcing America's ongoing support for Israel's campaign in Gaza from domestic issues creates gray space in which more nuanced reasons for voting for Biden exist.

Strange, Biden told me he did have direct control over those things.

I imagine under Trump, we'd be actively participating. And unlike Biden, Trump wouldn't be talked out of it.

You mean the thing that's happening right now? Under the current president? Who has expressed no desire to stop it? Despite him and his party posturing themselves as the saviors whenever the other guys are in power?

On his way out the door after giving remarks about the protests, Biden was asked if there was going to be a change in policy. His one-word reply was "no". So expect the IDF to continue using American bombs to kill innocent civilians in Gaza.

Imagine.

Voting.

For.

Now whos posting no u?
You asked Why would anyone vote for Biden?
I said there are issues other than Gaza that people care about.
You asked what else could people possibly care about?
I provided several other issues.
You said oh, those are all Bidens fault because hes president and he hasnt done anything about about them proving that you dont actually pay any attention to whats going on and would rather just make claims from a place of ignorance.
So you clearly are not here for any actual discussion. You dont care about informing yourself. So what is the point of all this?

Only one of these two things must be true:

  1. Biden has the power to prevent the loss of rights and stop funding the genocide in Gaza, but chooses not to. Therefore, voting for Biden would be voting for the further loss of rights and further genocide.
  2. Biden does not have the power to prevent the loss of rights or to stop funding the genocide in Gaza. If the office of president does not have the power to do these things, then casting your vote for president is effectively meaningless, and those who choose not to are justified in their decision.
So which is it?

Side story:

I teach in a university theatre program. In my first year, we produced a play (that was not a comedy), in which one white character told another white character a racist joke. The joke did not contain any slurs, but it was clearly making fun of black people. It was not played for a laugh. The playwright's intention was to show that the person telling the joke was an asshole.

That context did not matter to several black students who saw the show and were upset by the joke. It turned into a small shit storm, and we received many angry emails and phone calls about the show.

tl;dr "It's okay that they're saying racist stuff because them being racist is the point!" doesn't hold up with the people who are being joked about

It does hold up if two conditions are fulfilled:

  1. The writer is skilled enough to make it clear to the audience what the intention is.
  2. The audience isn't a bunch of morons.

Trans rights, reproductive rights, climate change, Ukraine, Taiwan Ive actually mentioned them several times in multiple threads, but gosh darn if you folks just seem to miss it every time. Almost as if you dont actually care about the answer to the question and are just trying to use Gaza as an excuse to go BOTH SIDES SAME and justify your decision to not vote.

Those have all been adversely affected under Biden and he has made it clear he has no intentions of righting those.

Rumiko chose interesting hills to die on. I think she associated pantyshot enjoyers with a certain kind of pervert, which she didn't like. I'd say she considered it more lewd than plain nudity because of the types that take an interest in it.

Anyway, I really wish this series would get a remake or like an Inuyasha Kai, that kind of thing.
