    Fighting pirates has been US policy for over 200 years.

    Come down off your high horse, Trumpy.

    I wish it wasn’t obligatory to clarify: Nobody’s a “Biden voter”. We’re voting against the other guy. Forever. Fuck FPTP.

        Well the other guys a self proclaimed dictator with a published plan intent on dismantling Americas democracy in its entirety while using its national resources to avenge personal vendettas, and the options outside red/blue have never come close to winning, let alone actually doing it.

        I’m not even American and that’s an incredibly obvious choice, if you can even call that a choice. I definitely don’t like Biden, but he’s the best America seems able/willing to put forward.

        America has been stuck in a cycle of choosing the least of two evils for a very long time now. Nobody likes either option, but nobody (with the ability to effect change) seems to know how to fix this broken system either. (and I’m not saying I do, just pointing out my observations)

              It’s been about fifteen years I’ve been ranting about the consequences of “first past the post” systems and all of my worst predictions keep coming true and every non American keeps acting like our system rewards simply voting for whom you most prefer.

              It does not work like that. I’m sick of explaining this.

          The block user option is a godsend when you notice the trolls. Thanks lemmy devs!

    Reminder thatnot liking Biden doesn’t make you a Trump supporter. Reminder that voting for Biden over Trump fucking sucks but obviously must be done given the choices

    I’m not from the US, but considering trump suggested to nuke a hurrycane in US territory, i think counterattacking actual pirates with conventional weapons is by far less unhinged

      I didn’t post this to encourage voting for Trump, I’m just not excited about voting for Biden.
