What happens in November doesn't just affect the U.S It affects the entire world.
NATO is the only thing keeping Russia from starting another world war. They've already taken Crimea, they're gunning for the rest of Ukraine, and they won't stop there unless NATO stands up to them. Trump wants to pull out of NATO. It can't stand up to Russia without the U.S.
2) Fascists use war as a tactic. A fascist U.S. isn't just going to oppress Americans; it will start wars with other countries.

@jik People think I'm exaggerating when I say that if that motherfucker wins in November, it means WWIII. He's already said he'll let Putin do what he wants. America would be standing behind Russia and the rest of the world will be fighting US.
@MsMissy @jik I am at least one person that believes you are not exaggerating!
@jik We fear the US military as a rule, a restless army in conquest mode all the time. However Trump felt less of a threat. He seems not too interested in war, no taste for the hassle of real conflict I guess. I don't thing he would engage at least, he has his sights turned inward, not outwards.
@dacig Trump has spent every moment of his political career talking trash about Mexico and displaying his love of dictators and you think he would be safer for Mexico to have in the White House than Biden?
Ok, then, that certainly is an opinion.
Not one I share. Not one I've really seen maybe other people expressing.
@jik Trump has certainly been shitty to Mexicans, and kids in cages was a new low, he is a sorry excuse for a human being. Biden is just a little less worse on immigration, and has a genocide issue. On your WWIII theme, in many places in the world, we have had the experience of being invaded, bullied or had governments overthrown by the US and understandably do not feel that a strong US president improves world peace. Multilateralism solves issues, sadly not endorsed by Democrat governments.
@dacig I don't disagree with you about the history of U.S. intervention, but I cannot agree with your assertion that the Trump administration would be "weaker" in the sense you're discussing.
