i don't believe he tried to stage a coup. i'm an anarchist, and a prison abolitionist, so i don't care what the carceral state has to say about his conduct. honestly there are enough bad things about trump without all the trumped up bullshit the media throws around: he's a landlord, he's a capitalist employer, he "donates to" (pays off) politicians, he spreads racist rhetoric, he advocates for the carceral state (without seeming to understand the irony)... i mean lots of bad shit. i'm not voting for him. i don't think anyone should.

i also am not about to vote for a politician who has lauded apartheid israel, never run into a war he didn't want to fund, and is probably as corrupt as any other politician who spent 50 years in dc.

does this make them equal? well, no, but i also don't know how to go about quantifying which one is a bigger shitbag. i don't think it's even a good use of time.
