It's a no brainer how things get better.

Get rid of the source of the incitement. Get rid of the man who supported armed attacks on state legislatures yet is encouraging the police to shoot dead protestors against racially motivated murder. Get rid of the man who said there were some fine people amongst the fascists and racists in Charlottesville yet has labelled those that oppose them as terrorists.

It's quite fucking simple. Get rid of Trump. Anything else will be better. What Biden agreed with in 1994 is totally irrelevant and a distraction.

'Joe Biden is in the streets trying to unify the nation while Trump hides out in an underground tweeting hate and division'

but voting Biden, the only realistic chance to oust Trump is apparently wrong

It's not a distraction. The idiot in charge is fair game, but I've said earlier that things would have probably got to this stage under a neolib, but for economic reasons.

All getting Biden in will do is reset the balance to pre-Orange and the same conditions that existed before and allowed him to be voted in. It's just kicking the can up the road.

It's just fucking weird that anyone who sees themselves as progressive can even consider that Trump is preferable to anyone, and can post crap like this:

And that is in response to a post saying that Trump doesn't actually have a position!!

You clown.

That was me agreeing with what you said!

Continue to believe your nonsense.

I've never understood the morbid fixation this country's media have with all things American.
Hurricane season starts in America, and its the first item on OUR news. Yet in Asia, when it's monsoon/landslide etc season, and the death tolls are tenfold in comparison, these stories are footnotes (or even unreported) by our media.
There's DAILY civil unrest in countless African countries, yet these are on page 15 in the bottom corners of broadsheet newspapers.
Car bombs go off daily in various Middle Eastern countries. These are left to the ends of bulletins. Should something like this happen in America, Clive Myrie, Dermot Murnaghan and spurious ITN journalist will be on the first plane out of Heathrow.
American lives matter more.

A typical example of our media's obsession with USA, was the circus (that's what it was) surrounding OJ Simpson in the mid 90's. I'd wager that well over 95% of our population wouldn't have had a clue about who or what he was. And that 5% who did know of him, was mainly due to him being in the Naked Gun films. Yet, umpteen UK camera crews/reporters/journalists were camped outside the courtroom for weeks. Would the Yanks have done the same for Kevin Keegan/Ian Botham, etc???? I think we know the answer.

I think to some extent it's just laziness. The story already exists, and it's already in English. Far easier than having to set up an office in Singapore and employ journalists who speak about 10 different South-East Asian languages to find stories in countries where the free press isn't really a thing.
