    I think this is pretty untrue; Biden is significantly better from a domestic and foreign policy perspective.

    Trump is a wannabe authoritarian who would absolutely praise Modi’s actions. Biden believes in human rights and democratic systems.

    Biden, for example supports:

    • Ukraine, and not Russia
    • US Democratic systems and traditions.
    • Paris Climate Agreement
    • Green New Deal
    • Cover pre-existing conditions
    • Let states legalize marijuana
    • Public service student loan forgiveness
    • Path to Citizenship (DAPA and DACA
    • Reproductive rights
    • Funding the IRS to make sure the rich pay their fair share.

    Trump, in contrast:

    • Attempted blackmail on Ukraine, and supports Russia.
    • Attempted a coup, and tried to usurp US Democratic systems and traditions.
    • Leasing public lands for drilling and mining
    • Cutting food stamps
    • Tax cuts for rich
    • Muslim Ban
    • Cut refugee resettlements
    • Spend billions and steal land for Wall
    • Federal death penalty
    • Transgender Ban

    Trump and Biden are very different.

      Trump and Biden are very different.

      Not different enough, for me.
