Kinda hard to know if that’s true considering I still haven’t stated any political opinions. However, since that’s clearly what you want, I think practically every politician (or anyone in a significant position of power) on the planet is a massive fucking tool barely deserving of the title of human, not exactly what I’d call idealism. Trump and Biden may both fit this description, but I’m still not naive enough to put them together on the podium of shitty human beings.

This entire discussion has been political opinion. You don’t have to spell out “I want xyz policy/system” for something to be political.

Got it, then we agree that Biden is a malicious monster commiting genocide and we don’t need to “actually, he’s a smol bean kind grandpa in a bad system” him.

Where is the line you would put them both close enough to have them on the podium of shitty human beings? Both are genocidal Zionists, that’s pretty bad. Both support American Imperialism, that’s pretty bad too. Biden is softer on LGBT issues than Trump, this is true, but having a less anti-LGBT stance doesn’t erase the blood on his hands.
I think maybe this whole ‘political’ vs ‘not political’ thing is where we’re getting stuck.
I would argue that at least my part in this thread hasn’t been political at all, but instead a rather simple comment on the character of the two candidates. I’m more concerned with how they conduct themselves as people, not the policies they push as politicians. This is more a question of ethics and morality on human to human level. Your pointing out the ethics of genocide and capitalism. Which are great and completely valid points, but they’re also large nebulous concepts that can rarely ever land fully on the shoulders of one person. Kinda outside the scope of my original comment.
I haven’t brought up any specific details of eithers presidency because I have no meaningful opinions on that front. However, the simple fact that one of them has literally on multiple occasions outright glorified raping women and the other won’t pardon his own son of a serious crime is more than enough for me to put them on completely different shit podiums.
